How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Power off the vacuum and disconnect it from the charger.
- Step 1 – Localize Sound: Run the vacuum briefly and listen closely along the bin, wand, and head to find the whistle source. Turn off the vacuum before touching any moving parts.
- Step 2 – Check Seals: Inspect all rubber gaskets and seals for hair or debris. Clean and reseat them.
- Step 3 – Inspect Plastic Components: Look for hairline cracks in the bin, wand, or head. Small cracks can sometimes be temporarily sealed with tape; for a long-term solution, replace the cracked component.
