Confirm this cause by checking the suction pathway for blockages. Inspect the dust cup or bag for capacity, ensure filters are free of excessive dust buildup, and examine the hose and wand for lodged debris. If the motor sound changes from a dull hum to a high-pitched whistling or straining whine when the hose is detached, the restriction is confirmed to be in the suction path.
