Possible Causes

Hair and fibres wrapped around brush bar, Foreign object jammed in floor head, Worn brush bar end bearings, Faulty brush motor drawing excess current

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before working on the floor head. Never put fingers near the brush while power is connected.

Steps to try:

  • Remove brush bar: Unlock the end cap or release latch on the Gtech floor head and slide the brush bar out.
  • Clear obstructions: Cut away hair, string, and threads with scissors. Remove any debris lodged in the brush housing or around the end bearings.
  • Check rotation: Spin the brush bar by hand. It should rotate freely without grinding or stiffness. If tight, the end bearings may be worn.
  • Inspect drive belt/gear: On some models, a small belt or gear drives the brush. Check for broken teeth or a snapped belt.
  • Test again: Reassemble and test. If the red LED returns quickly and the brush stops, replace the brush bar or complete motorised floor head assembly.
