How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting filters or housings.
- 1. Clean filters and check airflow: Dirty filters can cause the motor to work harder and sound louder. Clean or replace filters as recommended.
- 2. Inspect housing for cracks: Look for gaps or cracks in the main body, dust cup, and filter covers. Tighten any loose screws.
- 3. Check seals: Ensure all rubber gaskets are seated properly and not torn.
- 4. Evaluate motor noise: If the loudness is a grinding or roaring sound from the motor area, the bearings may be worn. Replace the motor assembly or main body.
