Before calling for service, review the problems and solutions below. If none of the suggested solutions resolve your problem, please visit our website at www.samsung.com or call Samsung Customer Care. Note that you will be charged for any service calls in which no defects were found.

Problems Solutions
 

 

 

 

The vacuum cleaner does not work.

•   Check the battery level and charge the battery.

•   Check whether the product is turned off, and then press the power button to turn it on.

•   Check whether the pipe, dustbin or brush is blocked.

•   Check whether the washable micro filter is inserted correctly.

•   If the vacuum has not been used for a long time, charge the battery.

•   If the battery dies, replace the battery.

 

Suction force decreases suddenly and the vacuum makes a vibrating sound.

•   Check whether a brush, dustbin or pipe is clogged with foreign matter and remove it.

•   Check whether the pipe, dustbin is fully filled with dust. If it is, empty the bin.

•   Check whether the filter is dirty. If it is, clean the filter.

 

The vacuum cleaner cannot be charged.

•   Check if foreign matter (dust) is on the charging terminal. Remove any foreign matter with a cotton swab or soft cloth.

•   Check if the vacuum cleaner is turned on, and then check if the LED of the battery level indicator is turned on.

 

 

The spinning brush (drum) inside a brush does not work.

•   When the spinning brush stuck display is turned on, turn off the vacuum and check whether the brush is clogged with foreign matter. If so, remove the foreign matter and restart the vacuum.

•   Check if the vacuum cleaner is turned on and then turn it off and on again.

– For the Jet Fit Brush, if the vacuum overheats, it may take about 30 minutes for the motor to cool.

Problems Solutions
 

 

An odor is coming from the air outlet or filter of the vacuum cleaner.

•   Empty the dustbin and clean the filters frequently.

–  As your vacuum cleaner is a new product, it may have a slight odor for the first 3 months after purchase.

–  If you use the vacuum cleaner frequently, accumulated dirt in the dustbin or dust on the filter may generate an odor.

•   Replacement filters are available at your local Samsung service agent.

Cleaning is finished but small dust particles come out of the brush.  

•   After cleaning, operate the vacuum for 10 seconds or more to suction up the small dust particles.

 

 

 

Vacuum cleaner stops operation during cleaning.

•   As this product has the overheating prevention device of the motor, product will stop operation temporarily for the following conditions.

–  When the vacuum operates with a full dustbin.

–  When the vacuum operates with suction part or brush clogged.

–  When the Extension Crevice Tool is used for long hours.

•   After correcting the cause of the problem, turn the product on again. (This case may differ depending on the ambient temperature.)

 

Static electricity occurs when cleaning a thick and soft mat.

•   Materials of a mat (childcare center mat, noise prevention mat for between floors, etc.) may cause the static electricity.

– Move the brush on a normal floor for a while and clean again, then the static electricity should disappear.
