Power Off and Remove Battery

Check for Blockages
Inspect the bin, cyclone, and wand for blockages. Remove the bin and empty it. Shine a flashlight through the wand to check for obstructions.

Clean or Replace Filter
Remove the HEPA filter from the top of the cyclone. Rinse under cold water and air dry 24 hours. Replace if damaged or over 12 months old.
Inspect Brush Bar
If the brush does not spin, check the belt. On the V15, the brush is direct-drive. Remove the soleplate screws to access the brush bar for replacement.
Battery Diagnosis
If the battery does not charge, clean the contacts with isopropyl alcohol. Test with a multimeter: a healthy pack reads ~21V. Replace if below 18V.
Reassemble
Reinstall the filter, floor head, and bin. Ensure all parts click into place.
Test Operation
Reinstall the battery and run the vacuum. Verify suction, brush spin, and LED display. Check that the laser (if equipped) illuminates.
