Model issues and repair guidance

Begin a weak-pickup diagnosis by removing the pod and testing the hose directly. Healthy hose suction with poor floor results narrows the fault to the single roller, nozzle inlet, neck, or head connection; weak suction at both locations calls for the dust cup, filters, wand, and hose to be opened in sequence. Headlights do not prove that the roller drive is sound, so a lit nozzle that will not sweep still needs a mechanical and powered-head check.Test suction at the detached hose before opening the floorhead. Good hose suction isolates the single roller, nozzle duct, neck, or head joint; weak suction there moves to the cup, filters, wand, and hose. Nozzle lights alone do not clear the roller circuit.
