Accessory Motor Overload / Short Circuit
Cordless Shark vacuum shows an error when the handheld unit is attached to certain powered accessories (e.g., mini motorized pet tool)

Possible Causes
Shorted motor in powered pet tool, Jammed brush in accessory head, Damaged accessory connector pins, Internal wiring short in accessory
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery before attaching or detaching powered accessories.
- 1. Test vacuum without accessory: Run the handheld unit alone. If it operates normally, the fault is likely in the accessory.
- 2. Inspect accessory brush: Remove hair and debris from the mini motorized tool or other powered head. Ensure the brush spins freely by hand.
- 3. Check accessory connector: Look at the electrical contacts on the accessory and handheld unit. Clean gently with a dry cloth and ensure no pins are bent.
- 4. Test another powered accessory: If available, connect a different powered tool. If only one accessory triggers the error, that accessory is defective.
- 5. Replace faulty accessory: Powered accessories are not typically user‑repairable. Replace the mini motorized tool or other faulty head with a genuine Shark part.
