Possible Causes
Worn motor bearings, Broken fan blades, Foreign object in fan housing, Motor shaft misalignment
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Immediately turn off the vacuum and remove the battery to prevent further damage.
- Remove the dust bin and cyclone to access the motor inlet. Check for foreign objects lodged near the fan.
- If no obstruction is visible and the noise persists, the internal motor bearings or fan are likely damaged.
- Do not continue to run the vacuum; this can cause overheating or further breakage.
- Replace the complete main motor assembly or main body module, as the motor is not typically serviceable separately.
