Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before working near the trigger or opening the handle.

Steps to try:

  • Inspect trigger movement: Check for physical obstruction or debris around the trigger. Clean with a dry brush or compressed air.
  • Check feel: A trigger with no resistance or that does not return indicates a broken spring or lever.
  • Test response: With the battery fitted, gently press the trigger and see if the LEDs respond. Intermittent operation suggests a failing switch.
  • Replace assembly: On most Gtech cordless vacuums, the trigger and switch are integrated into the handle PCB assembly. Replacement of the handle/main body is usually required.
