Vax Imbalanced Motor / Debris in Fan or Brush

Cordless Vax vacuum vibrates excessively in the hand during use.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Debris stuck in motor fan, Damaged or imbalanced brush bar, Worn motor bearings, Loose floorhead or wand connection

Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting moving parts.

1. Check brush bar balance: Remove the brush bar and inspect for missing bristles or damage. Replace if visibly warped or uneven.
2. Inspect connections: Ensure the wand and floorhead are firmly attached with no play.
3. Test handheld only: Run the vacuum without the wand or floorhead. If vibration persists, the motor or fan may be imbalanced.

Persistent vibration from the motor area indicates internal damage; the motor assembly should be replaced.
