  • Step 1 – Inspect brushroll bristles: Remove the brushroll and check bristle length. If they are worn down or uneven, replace the brushroll.
  • Step 2 – Confirm brush operation: Reinstall the brushroll, refit the battery, and verify that the brush spins when the vacuum is on carpet mode.
  • Step 3 – Use correct tool: Ensure you are using the motorized floor nozzle on carpets, not a passive tool.
