Possible Causes

Burned-out LED module, Broken wire to LED, Faulty LED driver on control board, Damaged light switch (if separate)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting the light area.

  • Check for damage: Inspect the LED lens for cracks or moisture intrusion.
  • Wiggle test: With the vacuum running (battery installed), gently tap near the light. If it flickers, wiring may be loose.
  • Inspect connectors (advanced): If accessible, check the LED connector for a secure fit.
  • Replace LED module: If the vacuum works but the light never comes on, the LED module or driver may need replacement.

LED failure does not affect vacuum performance but may require part replacement for full functionality.
