Floor suction works but wand and handle have no suction.

Floor nozzle works/has suction, but removable wand for accessories has little to no suction. All hoses were checked (and double checked) for a blockage, dust cup checked, all filters cleaned per manual, including HEPA. Manual maintenance says close suction control on handle to increase suction but there isn't one. Support could not identify problem but offered to send a new motor.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

The ones I have seen, the wand is connected to the end of the hose that goes to the brush, or have a mechanical diverter that redirects the suction to the wand.

If the brush has suction, there is no reason to suspect a bad motor.

I just knew it wasn't the motor! Last ditch effort, I threaded a flexible coiled drain tool into the end of the handle. There was a bottle cap wedged in a bend in the handle! The tool was able to bend enough into the spot that it pushed the bottle cap sideways and out it came! I had figured the other tools I tried just wouldn't bend far enough!
