Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Power Supply
Is your power supply nearing the end of its life? Here are some of the most common warning signs:
- Your cleaner won’t power on or shuts off randomly
- Indicator lights flicker, dim, or fail completely
- Cleaning cycles stop before finishing
- Your cleaner has noticeably weaker suction or reduced movement
- The power supply overheats or makes buzzing/humming noises
Because power supplies often degrade gradually, performance may decline significantly before the unit fails. Replacing a struggling power supply early can help protect your Dolphin and restore strong cleaning performance.
