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.
