Possible Causes

Worn brush bristles, Brush roll not spinning at full speed, Blocked suction channel in floor head, Incorrect height setting (if adjustable)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery and detach the floor head.

  • Inspect brush bristles: Check if bristles are worn down, uneven, or matted with hair. Clean thoroughly or replace the brush roll if worn.
  • Check brush rotation: Spin the brush by hand; it should rotate freely without sticking.
  • Clear suction channel: Look into the rear of the nozzle where debris enters the wand. Remove any compacted dust or objects.
  • Use correct mode: Ensure the motorised brush mode is enabled and the vacuum is set to the appropriate power level for carpets.

If performance remains poor with a clean, spinning brush and clear channels, the floor head assembly may need replacement.
