How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum and remove the battery (if removable) before inspection.
- Step 1 – Check battery fit: Ensure the battery clicks firmly into place and does not wobble.
- Step 2 – Inspect contacts: Look at the metal contacts on the battery and vacuum. Clean gently with a dry cloth.
- Step 3 – Test movement: With the unit ON, gently tap or move it. If it shuts off, the connection is intermittent.
- Step 4 – Replace battery: If the contacts are worn or loose on the battery side, replace the battery pack.
- Step 5 – Internal repair: If a new battery does not help, internal wiring or PCB joints may be cracked and require professional repair.
