Why won’t the vacuum cleaner turn on?

•  The plug may not be fully pushed into the electrical socket.

•   Check the fuse in the plug if this needs replacing, always replace with a 13amp fuse.

•   The motor thermostat may have tripped. If this has happened, unplug the vacuum cleaner. Remove 

and empty the dirt container and check the hose for blockages. Clean the filters and allow the vacuum 

cleaner to cool for approximately 1 hour (if you have washed the filters you will need to wait 24 hours 

for the filters to fully dry before putting them back into the vacuum cleaner).

Why won’t the vacuum cleaner pick up?

• There may be a blockage in the hose. Please remove the hose from the vacuum cleaner, check  

and clear any blockages.

• Empty the dirt container and clean filters. Go to the ‘Taking care of your machine’ page*.

• The brushbar may not be turning. Go to ‘My brushbar isn’t turning?’ below.

• If the accessory/tool will not pick up, check and clear any blockages.

My brushbar isn’t turning?

• The brushbar may be jammed. If this happens then the machine needs to be switched off  

immediately to avoid damage. To remove debris from brushbar refer to page.

• The belt might not turn if it is broken. To check the belt, go to the ‘Changing the belt’ page. 

What if my vacuum cleaner is making an excessive noise?

• The vacuum cleaner is making a whistling noise, please remove the dirt container open the bottom and 

clean the seals. Replace the dirt container and retry.

• If there is air sucking noise from the top of the dirt container, this would indicate a blockage in the 

machine. Go to ‘Why won’t the vacuum cleaner pick up above’. 

There is an accessory missing?

• Check the ‘This pack contains’ panel on the box to make sure the part is included with your machine.

Warning:

 

To reduce the risk of personal injury, unplug the vacuum cleaner before performing 

maintenance/troubleshooting checks.
