How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting moving parts.
- 1. Inspect brush roll: Remove the brush bar and clean all hair and debris, especially from one end. Check that the brush is straight and not warped.
- 2. Check brush bearings: Spin the brush by hand. If it wobbles or feels rough, replace the brush roll assembly.
- 3. Test without nozzle: Run the vacuum with only the main body and wand. If vibration disappears, the issue is in the nozzle. If it remains, the motor fan may be imbalanced.
- 4. Replace nozzle if needed: If a new brush roll does not resolve vibration, the nozzle housing or internal motor may be damaged; replacing the entire nozzle assembly is recommended.
- 5. Motor vibration: Persistent vibration from the main body requires motor replacement by a technician.
