Possible Causes

Worn or flattened bristles on brush roll, Incorrect height setting on floor head (if adjustable), Clogged suction channel behind brush, Using hard‑floor head on carpet

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF and remove the battery before inspecting the brush head.

  • Inspect bristles: Remove the brush roll and examine the bristles. If they are very short, flattened, or missing in sections, the roll should be replaced.
  • Clean suction channel: Look behind the brush roll into the suction opening. Remove any packed lint or hair.
  • Check head type: Ensure you are using the motorized carpet head, not a soft roller or hard‑floor head, on carpets.
  • Replace brush roll: Install a new genuine Rowenta brush roll designed for your model to restore agitation.
