Possible Causes

Brush roll clogged on one side, Warped or bent brush bar, Damaged motor fan blades, Debris stuck in fan

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Clean brush roll thoroughly: Remove all hair and debris from the entire length of the brush, including end caps.
  • Check for straightness: Roll the brush on a flat surface; if it wobbles, it may be bent and should be replaced.
  • Test without floor head: Run the vacuum briefly without the nozzle. If vibration disappears, the issue is in the head; if it remains, the motor fan may be damaged.

Persistent vibration from the main body indicates a likely motor fan imbalance, requiring motor assembly replacement by a technician.
