Possible Causes
Dust bin not sealed correctly, Torn or missing rubber gasket on dust bin, Cracked extension wand, Clogged cyclone shroud in TCL dust container
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum and remove the battery before disassembly.
- 1. Check dust bin seal: Remove and reinstall the dust bin, ensuring it clicks firmly. Inspect the rubber gasket around the bin opening for damage.
- 2. Inspect cyclone: Look at the metal or plastic mesh inside the bin. If coated with fine dust, clean it with a soft brush or rinse if TCL allows washing (dry completely before use).
- 3. Examine wand and joints: Look for cracks or splits in the wand and ensure all joints fit tightly without gaps.
- 4. Verify filter placement: Make sure filters are installed in the correct order and orientation; missing filters can alter airflow.
If suction remains weak: The main motor fan or internal seals may be damaged. Professional service is recommended.
