Possible Causes

Hair and debris wrapped around brush roller ends, Worn brush roller bearings, Failed brush motor in floor head, Broken wiring in wand to brush head

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the vacuum and remove the battery. Never touch the brush while the unit is powered.

  • Remove brush roller: Open the brush cover and lift out the roller. Clear all hair and debris from the roller and end caps.
  • Check roller rotation: Spin the roller by hand. If it binds or feels rough, replace the brush roller assembly.
  • Inspect drive path: Look inside the floor head where the roller sits. Remove any debris around the drive gear or coupling.
  • Check electrical connection: Inspect the contacts on the floor head and wand. Clean gently with a dry cloth.
  • Test with another powered head (if available): If another head spins, the original floor head motor is likely faulty and should be replaced.
