Possible Causes

Weak battery unable to supply high current, Faulty mode switch on handle, Motor control PCB current sensor fault, Excessive motor load

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn the vacuum OFF and remove the battery before inspecting controls.

  • Fully charge the battery: Place the battery on the charger until it reaches full charge. Low voltage can disable high‑power modes.
  • Check for blockages: Ensure the nozzle, wand, and filters are clean to reduce motor load.
  • Inspect mode switch: Press the power/mode button repeatedly while the unit is OFF to free any sticking. Check for physical damage or liquid ingress around the switch.
  • Test with another battery (if available): A worn battery may sag under load, causing the control board to block turbo mode.

If E6 persists with a fully charged, known‑good battery and clear airflow, the motor control PCB or mode switch assembly may be defective and typically requires professional replacement.
