Possible Causes

Worn brush bristles, Incorrect floor setting, Blocked floor nozzle air channel, Damaged or missing floor head seal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting the floor head.

  • Inspect brush bristles: If bristles are worn down or uneven, they may not agitate carpet effectively. Replace the brush roll.
  • Check floor setting: Ensure any carpet/hard floor selector is set correctly for the surface.
  • Clear nozzle: Look into the suction opening of the floor head and remove any obstructions.
  • Inspect seals: Check the rubber strip or seal at the front/rear of the nozzle. Replace if torn or missing.

Restoring brush condition and nozzle airflow usually resolves poor pickup issues.
