Advertisements
E1
The cordless vacuum will not power on; battery LEDs remain off even after charging.
Main Battery Pack Communication Failure
E10
The vacuum will not start; LEDs show E10 or ten flashes; the unit was recently washed or exposed to moisture.
Moisture / Water Ingress Detected
E11
The vacuum runs but the battery indicator behaves erratically; E11 code appears, and runtime is much shorter than normal.
Battery Temperature Sensor Fault
E12
The vacuum will not start; E12 or twelve flashes appear; the unit was stored for a long time without use.
Deep Discharge / Battery Lockout
E2
The cordless vacuum shuts off within seconds of starting; battery LEDs flash and the unit beeps.
Battery Overcurrent / Short Circuit Protection
E3
The cordless vacuum stops and displays E3 or flashes three times; suction drops suddenly during use.
Overheat Protection – Main Motor
E4
The brush head motor does not spin; E4 code or four blinking LEDs when the floor head is attached.
Brush Motor Overload / Jam Protection
E5
The battery indicator flashes rapidly while charging; the vacuum will not accept a charge.
Battery Pack Overvoltage / Charger Fault
E6
The vacuum runs only in low power; switching to high power causes immediate shutdown and an E6 indication.
High-Power Mode Overcurrent / Power Stage Fault
E7
LEDs show an E7 pattern; the vacuum will not start and may beep repeatedly after a drop or impact.
Internal Sensor / IMU Error (Tilt or Impact Sensor Fault)
E8
Vacuum displays E8 or eight blinking LEDs; suction is weak, and the motor sounds strained.
Airflow Restriction / Blockage Detected
E9
The vacuum powers on but immediately shuts off with E9; a strong burning smell may be present.
Motor Overload / Shorted Motor
Symptom
Attachments (crevice tool, mini motorized head) do not receive power or spin.
Accessory Power Supply Failure
Symptom
Dust escapes from the vacuum, and fine powder appears around the unit during use.
Filtration / Sealing Failure
Symptom
Mini motorized pet tool stalls easily or stops under light pressure.
Accessory Brush Overload
Symptom
The LED battery indicator does not match actual runtime (e.g., shows full but dies quickly).
Battery Gauge Calibration Error
Symptom
The brush roll does not spin, but suction is normal.
Brush Drive Failure
Symptom
The charger LED flashes red or shows an error when the battery is inserted (no specific code on the vacuum).
Charger-Battery Communication Fault
Symptom
The cordless vacuum has very weak suction even though the motor sounds normal.
Air Leak / Blocked Filters
Symptom
The vacuum body becomes very hot to the touch during normal use.
Main Motor Overheating
Symptom
The vacuum emits a burning smell from the brush head but still runs.
Brush Motor Overheating
Symptom
The vacuum intermittently shuts off when moved or tilted; it comes back on when the handle is jiggled.
Intermittent Power Connection
Symptom
The vacuum leaves lines of debris behind and does not pick up well from carpets.
Brush Roll / Floor Head Performance Issue
Symptom
The vacuum makes a high-pitched whistling noise during use.
Air Leak at Seals or Cracked Housing
Symptom
The vacuum makes a loud grinding or rattling noise from the brush head.
Brush Roll Bearing Failure
Symptom
The vacuum produces an unpleasant or musty odor during operation.
Odor Contamination in Filters and Dust Path
Symptom
The vacuum runs for only a few minutes on a full charge before shutting off.
Battery Capacity Degradation
Symptom
The vacuum vibrates excessively or feels unbalanced in the hand.
Mechanical Imbalance in Brush Roll or Motor Fan
Symptom
The vacuum will not turn on at all; no lights, no sound.
No Power / Dead Unit
Symptom
Vacuum cannot stand securely in its wall mount or docking station.
Docking/Mounting Alignment Issue
Symptom
Vacuum continues to run for a few seconds after releasing the trigger (or stops abruptly when it should ramp down).
Control Logic/Switch Debounce Issue
Symptom
Vacuum handle or trigger feels loose and sometimes does not respond.
Mechanical Trigger/Switch Wear
Symptom
Vacuum loses suction only when using the wand; suction is normal when tools are attached directly to the main body.
Partial Blockage or Leak in Wand
Symptom
Vacuum makes a chirping or squealing noise from the main body when starting.
Motor Bearing Wear
Symptom
Vacuum occasionally gives a static shock when touched during use.
Static Electricity Buildup
Symptom
Vacuum shuts off when the dust bin is nearly full, even before reaching the maximum fill line.
Cyclone/Bin Airflow Restriction
