Possible Causes

Battery not seated correctly, Failed power trigger switch, Faulty handle PCB, Broken internal wiring between battery and motor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before opening any covers. Do not bypass safety switches.

Steps to try:

  • Verify battery: Test the battery in another compatible Gtech vacuum if possible, or confirm its LEDs show a charge.
  • Reseat battery: Insert the battery firmly until it clicks. Check for any movement or looseness.
  • Check trigger action: Pull the trigger and feel for a positive click. A loose or floppy trigger may indicate a broken switch.
  • Inspect for damage: Look for signs of impact or liquid ingress around the handle and battery bay.
  • Service requirement: If a known‑good battery does not power the unit and there are no LEDs, the internal PCB or wiring is likely faulty. Replacement of the main body/handle assembly is usually required.
