Possible Causes

Battery unable to supply required current on max, Blocked filters increasing load, Failing motor drawing excessive current on high speed, Weak electrical connections causing voltage drop

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before cleaning or inspecting electrical contacts.

Steps to try:

  • Clean filters and airflow: Ensure maximum airflow by cleaning filters and clearing blockages.
  • Check battery age: Older batteries may not support max power. Test with a newer or known‑good Gtech battery if possible.
  • Inspect contacts: Clean and reseat the battery to minimise voltage drop at the connection.
  • Limit use of max: If the vacuum only cuts out on max with an older battery, replace the battery or use max mode sparingly.
  • Service if needed: If a new battery does not resolve the issue, the motor or controller may be failing and the main body may need replacement.
