86 Troubleshooting
Fault Possible causes and rectification
The suction force
of the Upright
Vacuum Cleaner is
declining.
The filterbag is probably full.
• Exchange the 3in1 Premium Filterbag.
The suction channel of the Upright Vacuum Cleaner or that of
another connected device is blocked.
• Clean the suction channel of the Upright Vacuum Cleaner and/
or that of the connected device.
• Check whether the filter fill level indicator on your Upright
Vacuum Cleaner lights up yellow. If so, exchange the 3in1
Premium Filterbag.
The motor protection filter is extremely dirty.
• Clean or exchange the motor protection filter
(see chapter “4.2.2 Cleaning and/or exchanging the
Kobold VK200 motor protection filter” on page 73).
The Upright
Vacuum Cleaner
sets itself to a
different power
performance level
and gets louder.
After prolonged use, with high ambient temperature or when the
3in1 Premium Filterbag is full or blocked, the Upright Vacuum
Cleaner will set itself to a different power performance level as a
result of overheating so that the suction performance can no
longer be regulated. In this case the valve will open automatically
allowing air to flow directly into the inside of the motor.
• Check the suction channel and the connected accessory heads.
• Remove the blockage and exchange the 3in1 Premium Filterbag
if neccessary.
• Let the motor cool down.
This effect can also be the result of switching from hard floors
to carpeting or generally when using power performance level
auto (automatic suction power).
