Possible Causes

Jammed mini motorised tool brush, Faulty accessory motor, Loose electrical contacts in accessory port, Accessory drawing excessive current from battery

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery and detach the accessory before inspection.

Steps to try:

  • Inspect accessory brush: Remove hair and debris from the mini motorised tool brush. Ensure it spins freely.
  • Check contacts: Clean the electrical contacts on both the accessory and the vacuum body with a dry cloth.
  • Test without accessory: Confirm the vacuum runs normally with non‑powered tools.
  • Replace accessory: If the vacuum only cuts out when the powered accessory is attached, replace that accessory with a genuine Gtech replacement.
