How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum before inspecting the nozzle.

  • Step 1 – Change power mode: Switch to a lower suction mode or carpet setting if available.
  • Step 2 – Inspect wheels and sliders: Check that all nozzle wheels roll freely and that felt pads or sliders are intact.
  • Step 3 – Check relief vents: Ensure any small vents or slots on the nozzle base are not blocked by tape or debris.

If the nozzle base is warped or wheels are damaged, replace the motorized nozzle assembly.
