Possible Causes

Broken wire inside extension wand, Loose connector between body and wand, Worn contacts on motorized head, Cracked solder joint on PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting connectors.

  • Recreate fault: With the vacuum assembled, gently move the wand and head while running (briefly) to confirm movement causes cut-out. Then remove the battery.
  • Inspect connectors: Check the mechanical and electrical joints between main body, wand, and head. Clean contacts and ensure they click firmly into place.
  • Test without wand: Attach the head directly to the main body (if possible). If the issue disappears, the wand wiring is likely damaged and should be replaced.
  • Replace faulty section: If movement at a specific joint always causes cut-out, replace that component (wand, head, or main body).
