1.
Check for any debris in the vacuum
motor.
2.
Check that the motor rotor turns freely.
3.
Replace the vacuum motor if necessary.

1.
Check that there is no friction on
the brush deck linkage; lubricate if
necessary.
2.
Check that the actuator and deck
travel is not blocked by mechanical
obstructions.
3.
If the problem persists, replace the
actuator.
