Possible Causes
Loose battery connection, Cracked solder joints on main PCB, Damaged internal wiring harness, Faulty tilt or shock sensor mis-triggering
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum and remove the battery (if removable) before inspecting for loose parts.
- Step 1 – Check battery fit: Ensure the battery pack is fully latched and does not move when you gently shake the handle.
- Step 2 – Inspect for rattling: Gently shake the vacuum and listen for loose internal parts. If you hear rattling, internal components may be broken or loose.
- Step 3 – Test in different orientations: Run the vacuum while holding it upright, then tilt it slowly. If it shuts off at a certain angle, the tilt/shock sensor or wiring may be faulty.
- Step 4 – Professional inspection: Because this involves internal connections and sensors on the PCB, disassembly and re-soldering should be done by a qualified technician. Continued use may worsen the fault.
