Possible Causes
Clogged mini brushroll, Broken internal belt in mini tool, Damaged electrical contacts on accessory
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery and detach the accessory before servicing.
- Step 1 – Inspect contacts: Check the metal contacts on the mini turbo tool and the wand/handle. Clean with a dry cloth.
- Step 2 – Clear brushroll: Open the mini tool housing and remove hair and debris from the brushroll.
- Step 3 – Check belt (if applicable): On belt-driven mini tools, inspect and replace the belt if broken or stretched.
- Step 4 – Test again: Reassemble and test. If it still does not spin but the main head does, the mini tool motor is likely failed.
- Step 5 – Replace accessory: Replace the mini motorized tool with a new Dirt Devil accessory.
