Possible Causes
Broken conductor in wand wiring harness, Loose connector at main body or floorhead, Damaged battery contacts that lose connection when moved
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting wiring.
- Step 1 – Recreate fault: With the vacuum running (battery installed, keep clear of moving parts), gently move the wand and head to identify positions that cause shutoff.
- Step 2 – Inspect wand wiring: Pay attention to pivot points where the wand flexes. If movement consistently causes power loss, the internal wiring is likely broken.
- Step 3 – Check connectors: Clean and reseat the wand‑to‑body and wand‑to‑head connectors.
- Step 4 – Replace wand: Replace the Tower extension wand with wiring loom if internal wires are broken.
- Step 5 – Check battery fit: Ensure the battery locks firmly into place and does not move when the vacuum is tilted.
