Possible Causes
Blocked suction hose, Clogged intake at the floorhead, Full dirty water tank filter, Obstructed internal ducting.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug before clearing blockages.
- Check hose: Detach the suction hose and look through it. Use a flexible rod or broom handle to gently push out any blockages.
- Inspect floorhead: Remove the floor nozzle and clear hair, threads, or debris from the intake opening.
- Clean tank filter: In the dirty water tank, remove and rinse any mesh or foam filters that protect the motor from debris.
- Check internal ducts: Open access panels and inspect the air path from the tank to the motor. Vacuum out dust and debris.
- Test suction: Reassemble and test. If the error recurs with clear airways, the motor current sensor or PCB may be misreading and require professional service.
