Possible Causes

Debris stuck in motor fan, Bent or damaged brushroll, Loose screws in floorhead or body, Misaligned cyclone assembly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery pack before inspection.

Check the floorhead:

  • Remove the brushroll and inspect it for warping or missing sections. Replace if damaged.
  • Tighten any loose screws on the floorhead housing.

Check the main body:

  • Ensure the dust bin and cyclone are seated correctly and not wobbling.
  • Tighten accessible screws on the body shell.

If vibration persists and seems to come from the motor area, the motor fan may be damaged or clogged. The motor assembly should be inspected and replaced if necessary.
