Possible Causes
Broken wire inside wand, Loose wand‑to‑nozzle connector, Worn contacts between handheld and wand, Cracked solder joint in nozzle PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting electrical connectors.
- Flex test: With the vacuum running (battery refitted), gently move the wand and nozzle to see if power cuts in and out. Stop immediately if arcing or heat is noticed.
- Inspect connectors: Detach the wand and check the electrical contacts for wear, burning, or looseness. Clean gently with a dry cloth.
- Try direct connection: Attach the floor head directly to the handheld unit (if design allows). If the problem disappears, the wand wiring is likely faulty.
Intermittent electrical faults in the wand or nozzle usually require replacement of the affected assembly to ensure safe operation.
