Possible Causes

Worn brush bar bearings, Loose brush bar end cap, Foreign objects inside floorhead, Damaged floorhead wheels

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF and remove the battery before working on the floorhead.

  • 1. Inspect brush bar: Remove the brush bar cover and take out the brush. Check for cracks, missing bristles, or loose end caps.
  • 2. Check bearings: Spin the brush bar by hand. If it feels rough or wobbly, the bearings are worn and the brush bar should be replaced.
  • 3. Examine wheels: Check the front and rear wheels on the floorhead for flat spots, hair wrapped around axles, or looseness. Clean and, if necessary, replace the wheel set.
  • 4. Remove debris: Shake out the floorhead and remove any small stones, screws, or hard objects that may be rattling inside.

If noise persists, consider replacing the complete Swan motorised floorhead assembly.
