Model issues and repair guidance

A glowing bag indicator should trigger an airflow check across the bag, filter, hose and telescopic wand; it does not identify which item is restricted. For floor-only loss, set nozzle height and inspect roller rotation, belt protection and the base opening. For attachment-only loss, keep work at the stretch hose and cuff seals. Cord, handle switch and thermal reset form a separate branch when the motor is silent.Use the bag light to inspect bag, filter, hose and wand, not to name one failed part. Floor-only loss uses height, roller and belt checks; tool-only loss uses hose seals. A silent motor requires cord, switch and thermal-reset tests.
