Possible Causes
Thermal cutoff in brush motor due to overload, Loose wiring in nozzle, Failing brush motor, Overly tight brushroll bearings
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting the nozzle.
- 1. Clean and free the brushroll: Remove all hair and debris. Ensure the brushroll spins freely by hand.
- 2. Reduce load: Test the vacuum on a hard floor instead of thick carpet to see if the brush remains running longer. If so, the motor may be weak.
- 3. Inspect wiring: Check the cable entry point into the nozzle for damage or flexing. If the brush stops when you move the nozzle, wiring may be broken internally.
- 4. Replace nozzle: Intermittent brush motor operation usually indicates internal motor or wiring failure. Replace the motorized floor nozzle assembly.
