Step-by-Step Troubleshooting

1. Power Check: Start by ensuring that your AirVac power unit is securely plugged into a working power outlet. Confirm that the power cord of the vacuum’s power unit is firmly attached to a power outlet, or else the entire vacuum won’t work. If the circuit breaker or fuse needs replacing or restoration, do it. Sometimes, the simplest solutions are the most effective!
2. Turn the Unit On: Make sure the power unit is switched on. If it doesn’t start, check the circuit breaker or fuse box for any tripped switches or blown fuses.
3. Hit the Reset Button: If you’ve recently restored power, press the ‘reset’ button on the power unit. Hold it down for about seven seconds to see if that resolves the issue.
4. Check the Dust Bag: Is your vacuum not performing as expected? Check if the dust bag is full. An overflowing bag can hinder suction and overall performance. Empty or replace it as needed.
5. Inspect for Clogs: Look for any blockages in the hose or the vacuum lines. Detach the hose and clear any debris to ensure optimal airflow and suction.
6. Examine Wall Valves: Ensure all wall valves are properly sealed. Any open or unsealed valve could lead to loss of suction.
7. Power Unit Plug: Verify that the plug at the base of the power unit is firmly connected. Loose connections can affect power delivery.
8. Suction Consistency: If you’re experiencing uneven suction, revisit the wall inlets to confirm they’re all tightly closed and properly sealed.
9. Routine Maintenance: Regular maintenance can prevent many issues. Keep an eye on all components and replace or clean them as necessary to maintain peak performance.
