Cordless vacuum emits a burning smell during or after use

Safety first: Immediately turn OFF the vacuum and remove the battery. Do not continue using the unit until the cause is identified.

• Step 1 – Inspect brush and nozzle: Check for jammed brush roll or debris in the nozzle that could overload the motor.
• Step 2 – Check filters and airflow: Ensure filters are clean and the air path is not blocked.
• Step 3 – Smell localization: Smell near the nozzle and near the handheld motor area to determine where the odor originates.
• Step 4 – Short test: After cooling for 30 minutes, run the vacuum for a few seconds. If the smell returns quickly, stop using it.
• Step 5 – Replace faulty part: If the smell is from the nozzle, replace the motorized nozzle. If from the main body, the main motor or wiring is likely damaged and should be replaced by a technician.
