Possible Causes

Brush bar height too low, Worn or seized brush bearings, Very high suction on thick carpet, Debris jammed in wheels

Safety first: Remove the battery before working on the floor head.

Check wheels: Ensure front and rear wheels spin freely and are not wrapped with hair.
Inspect brush bar: Remove and check that it rotates easily. Replace if bearings are stiff.
Use lower power mode: On deep carpets, use a lower suction setting to reduce drag.
