Charging can fail when the stand plug or adaptor is not fully connected, or when the EFW71311 is not seated completely in the charging stand. Disconnect mains power, reseat the adaptor at the stand, reconnect it, then place the appliance straight down until it is fully supported. No charge indication after this single reseating check requires service; stop immediately for heat, damaged cable or a loose mains connector. This exact symptom does not by itself prove that an internal replaceable part has failed. Switch off before removing tanks, filters, covers or the brush roll. Disconnect the stand from mains before checking its adaptor and stop for heat, damaged wiring or liquid near electrical contacts.

What the symptom may indicate
Checks in the right order
- Confirm the exact state
Charging can fail when the stand plug or adaptor is not fully connected, or when the EFW71311 is not seated completely in the charging stand.
- Apply the manufacturer check
Disconnect mains power, reseat the adaptor at the stand, reconnect it, then place the appliance straight down until it is fully supported.
- Use the result
No charge indication after this single reseating check requires service; stop immediately for heat, damaged cable or a loose mains connector.
Stop and get qualified help when
- Stop if a powered part becomes hot, smells electrical, leaks toward the battery or remains blocked after the accessible cleaning step.
Next step
Repair, replace a part, or arrange a diagnosis?
Use the checks and stop conditions above to choose a cautious next step. A symptom alone never proves that the appliance has failed.
Resolve it without buying anything
Complete the 3 user-accessible checks in order. If normal operation returns and no warning sign remains, no replacement is indicated.
Replace only the confirmed part
If the checks isolate a worn or blocked component, match its complete reference to the exact appliance model before ordering.
This guide does not identify a replacement part. Do not order a generic component from the symptom alone.
Arrange a diagnosis before replacing the appliance
Stop at any warning sign listed above. A qualified diagnosis should confirm that repair is unsafe, unavailable or uneconomical before an appliance replacement is considered.
