Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery pack before opening any covers.
- Step 1 – Reset the unit: Remove the battery for 5 minutes, then reinstall it and test. Sometimes a reset clears sensor errors.
- Step 2 – Check for obvious damage: Inspect the housing for cracks or signs of impact that might have affected internal sensors.
- Step 3 – Use on stable surfaces: Ensure you are not triggering any built-in safety that stops the motor when the unit is held at extreme angles (refer to the manual).
- Step 4 – Service inspection: If F4 appears even when the vacuum is held normally, the tilt sensor or main PCB likely needs replacement.
Tilt sensor replacement usually requires full disassembly of the main body and should be performed by a qualified technician.
