Possible Causes

Dry indoor air and synthetic carpets, Plastic body of TCL vacuum accumulating static, User not grounded, Lack of anti‑static path in wand or handle

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: These are usually low‑energy static shocks, but if you feel strong shocks or see sparks inside the unit, stop using it and seek service.

  • 1. Humidity: Increase room humidity slightly with a humidifier to reduce static buildup.
  • 2. Footwear: Avoid highly insulating footwear (e.g., rubber soles) on synthetic carpets while vacuuming.
  • 3. Grounding touch: Periodically touch a grounded metal object (like a door hinge) to discharge static.

Note: If shocks are accompanied by burning smell or visible arcing inside the vacuum, internal wiring may be damaged and requires professional inspection.
