Possible Causes
Clogged extension wand, Blocked flexible hose, Obstruction in floor nozzle air channel, Collapsed internal hose in main body
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery before clearing blockages.
- Disassemble air path: Detach the floor nozzle, wand, and any accessories. Look through each piece toward a light source to check for obstructions.
- Clear clogs: Use a straight, non-sharp rod to gently push out debris. Avoid puncturing or tearing hoses.
- Inspect main body inlet: Look into the main body where the bin or wand connects. Remove any visible debris with fingers or tweezers.
- Reassemble and test: Reconnect components and test with a fully charged battery. If pulsing continues, recheck for hidden blockages or a collapsed internal hose.
Persistent blockage warnings after thorough cleaning may indicate a damaged internal hose or faulty airflow sensor, requiring professional service.
