How to Identify and Fix Common Vacuum Problems ?

If your battery is not charging and the charger is rapid flashing and the battery is warm, it may be too hot- particularly after heavy or continued use. If so, please allow the battery to cool, then reinsert the battery on charger to try charging again.
For everyday clean-ups all around your home, this lightweight dustbuster®™ hand vacuum gives you the long-lasting suction and portability you need. When you`re done, store it in the wall-mount charging station, and it`s fully charged in just four hours.
Plug the charger directly into an electrical outlet. Use the charger only in a standard electrical outlet (120V/60Hz). Unplug the charger from outlet before any routine cleaning or maintenance. This product includes rechargeable nickel cadmium batteries.
The problem may lie in your vacuum cleaner`s adapter, charging dock, or battery and the electrical outlet. Try plugging your vacuum cleaner in to another outlet. If it is now working, the problem was in the first outlet that you have used. You should contact a certified electrician if you need to fix that outlet.
Overtime the battery pack located in your vacuum will hold less charge and might not charge at all. This can be remedied by replacing the battery pack.
BLACK+DECKER`s dustbuster can run continuously for 12 to 15 minutes before losing steam.
A: Your unit should be fully charged after 24 hrs. It is best to use the dustbuster until the battery runs fully down. Then it can be charged after that for its regular cycle of 24 hours. The red light will remain ON as long as the unit is plugged in.
After the initial charge, under normal usage, your power pack should be fully charged in 3 to 6 hours. If the power pack is run-down completely, it may take up to 6 hours to become fully charged.
The approximate run time of a fully charged battery is 11 minutes.
The BLACK+DECKER® BDCAC202B 20v Lithium- Ion 2amp Charger allows you to charge all BLACK+DECKER® 12-Volt MAX and 20-Volt MAX POWERCONNECT™ Lithium-Ion slide batteries quickly and efficiently. This charger can power 1.5Ah Lithium slide pack batteries in 45 minutes or less.
It takes about 2.5 hours to fully charge the vacuum cleaner (from 0% to 100%).
If the power pack is run-down completely, it may take up to 6 hours to become fully charged. The red light is just a power indicator. The light will not go out, change color, or blink when the charging has been completed.
Check that the vacuum cleaner is plugged into a working power outlet and that fuses and breakers don`t need resetting. An activated thermal cut-out due to a blockage is the next most likely cause of the problem. Check for blockages in the hose and filters, and remove any obstructions that you find.

I purchased a brand new P113 Ryobi charger about 2 years ago. It has never worked. If I put a P104 battery in for a charge, it looks like it works correctly. I push the battery tester on the battery itself, and it says full charge, but when I go to use the bateery, it dies right away. I have tried three new P104 batteries. The batteries charge on my charger at work with no problem. The funny thing is, I don't need a battery in the charger and the charger does the same thing, It runs the test
ANSWER : If you have your receipt, check with Ryobi to see if it is still under warranty. It comes with either a 2 or 3 year warranty, depending on when it was purchased. If it is still covered, get it replaced/repaired. If it is not, buy the P117 charger. $30 at Home Depot. It has a 90 day satisfaction guarantee. If it charges your batteries properly, you’re good. If not, bring it back if you don’t like/want it. My P113 won’t get out of test mode now, or charge Lithium batteries anymore. So I bought the P117 yesterday. Works great, and it’s a lot cheaper than new batteries! And it has a 3 year warranty.

My robot will not charge. Tried multiple resets and new battery from irobot.com (both suggested by Irobot customer service) but got nowhere. The vacuum did work for a short time (until the new partially charged battery ran out). If I bypass the internal charging circuits and charge directly from the charger (with jumpers)
the robot seems to work fine. Unfortunatey, there is no mechanism to turn off the charge cycle, so this is not practical.
ANSWER : Replace the battery charger

I just received my Hepa filter in the mail today. Product #XSH621 – Hepa filter for EP619 & EP621 :005-04 When bought my vacumn, I was told that the filters were free and all I do is pay Postage. Today I received one filter and it lookes like I got charged the postage for two filters. The packages slips: One stated order #11152282 The other order # 1151940 If I get charged for two I expect to receive two. Can you help me with this matter or where can I go to get resolution. Catherine Fantini e-
ANSWER : This isn’t really a problem that can be fixed here on Fixya rather than advise you as a buyer. You’d have to contact the people/company you have purchased the filters from and take it up with them regarding the postage. Hope you get a decent reply.

My battery charger unit has stated to get hot while charging, is this a fault with the charger or the batteries. I would appreciate you advice

.This results in heating of the unit for the large current delivery.
.Checck your battery if the back up has dropped down, if so it is confirmed to change the battery.
.Hope this advice helps
