Possible Causes

Damaged battery-to-handle contacts, Broken internal power wire, Failed main power relay or MOSFET on PCB, Trigger switch not closing circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting contacts.

  • Inspect contacts: Check the metal contacts on the battery and inside the handle for bending, burning, or corrosion. Clean gently with a dry cloth.
  • Test with another battery: If available, try a second compatible battery. If the vacuum still does not start, the fault is in the handle.
  • Check trigger feel: Ensure the trigger clicks and returns properly.
  • Professional repair: Internal power path faults require PCB or wiring harness replacement. Arrange service or replace the main handheld body.
