Troubleshooting

Agitator brush roll won't run

The agitator brush roll is not rotating as expected. Check if the belt is broken or worn. If so, replace the belt to restore functionality. Additionally, ensure that the floor surface setting is correct. If set to 'BARE', switch to 'RUG' position to enable the agitator brush roll.
