Possible Causes

Damaged electrical contacts between wand and brush head, Broken wiring in wand, Faulty brush head PCB, Corroded connectors

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting electrical contacts.

  • Inspect contacts: Check the metal contacts at the end of the wand and on the brush head for dirt, corrosion, or bent pins. Clean gently with a dry cloth or isopropyl alcohol.
  • Test without wand: If your model allows direct connection of the brush head to the main body, test this configuration. If it works, the wand wiring is likely faulty.
  • Try another attachment: Attach a different powered tool (e.g., mini motorized brush). If that tool works, the original brush head is defective.
  • Replace faulty component: Replace the wand if its wiring is open, or replace the motorized floor head if its PCB or motor is defective.
  • If C11 persists with all tools: The main PCB output to the brush head may be faulty and requires professional service.
