Possible Causes

Worn bristles on brush bar, Incorrect floorhead height for carpet, Blocked floorhead intake, Using hard‑floor head on carpet

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting the floorhead.

  • Step 1 – Inspect bristles: Remove the brush bar and examine the bristles. If they are worn down, uneven, or very soft, replace the Tower brush bar.
  • Step 2 – Clear intake: Check the front and underside of the floorhead for lint buildup or blockages and clear them.
  • Step 3 – Use correct head: Ensure you are using the motorised carpet head rather than a hard‑floor or upholstery tool on carpets.
  • Step 4 – Adjust technique: Move the head slowly over the carpet and overlap passes to improve pickup.
