How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Immediately turn off the vacuum, remove the battery, and let the head cool. Do not continue using it until inspected.
- Remove brush: Open the floor head and take out the main brush. Cut away all hair and fibers.
- Check end caps: Spin the brush by hand. It should rotate freely. If stiff, replace the Main Brush.
- Inspect housing: Look for melted plastic or scorch marks inside the head. If present, the Motorized Floor Head may need replacement.
- Test briefly: After cleaning, reassemble and test for a short period. If smell returns quickly, replace the floor head.
