Possible Causes
Loose battery latch or worn contacts, Cracked solder joints on battery connector, Damaged internal wiring harness, Faulty trigger switch
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting contacts.
- Check battery fit: Insert the battery and gently wiggle it. If the vacuum turns off or the LEDs flicker, the latch or contacts may be loose.
- Inspect contacts: Look for burn marks or deformation on the battery and vacuum contacts. Clean with a dry cloth.
- Test trigger: Hold the trigger and gently move it side to side. If power cuts out, the switch may be worn.
- Avoid excessive flexing: Do not twist the handle or body while in use; this can worsen internal wiring issues.
- Service recommendation: Internal wiring or connector repairs require opening the housing and should be done by a technician. Replace the battery if its housing or latch is damaged.
