Possible Causes

Low humidity environment, synthetic carpet fibers, lack of proper grounding path in handle or wand, worn anti-static components

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Static shocks are usually not dangerous but can be uncomfortable. If you suspect electrical leakage (not just static), stop using the vacuum and have it inspected.

  • Increase humidity: Use a humidifier in very dry environments to reduce static buildup.
  • Wear footwear: Avoid vacuuming in socks on synthetic carpets; wear shoes with conductive soles.
  • Check anti-static strips: Some SEBO heads include anti-static brushes or strips. Ensure they are intact and contacting the floor.
  • Inspect for damage: If shocks are strong or accompanied by burning smell or visible arcing, discontinue use and have the vacuum inspected for insulation or wiring faults.
