Possible Causes

Corrupted firmware on main control board, Loose internal wiring harness between control PCB and motor, Damaged hall sensor or tachometer feedback from motor, Shorted component on main PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery and do not attempt to run the vacuum while it is partially disassembled.

  • Step 1 – Power reset: Remove the battery for at least 5 minutes. Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds (with battery removed) to discharge residual power. Reinstall the battery and test.
  • Step 2 – Check for moisture: Inspect the main body for signs of liquid ingress (stains, corrosion around vents). If the vacuum was used on wet surfaces or exposed to spills, internal damage is likely.
  • Step 3 – Inspect external wiring: Without opening the sealed body, gently check that all external connectors (wand, battery) seat firmly. Intermittent connections can trigger communication errors.

E6 generally indicates an internal electronics failure. Cecotec main PCBs are not designed for user-level repair. If the reset does not clear the error, replacement of the main body or control PCB by a service center is recommended.
