Possible Causes

Broken or stretched drive belt inside TCL floor head, Seized brush roll bearings, Failed brush motor, Disconnected wiring in floor head

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum and remove the battery before working on the floor head.

  • 1. Remove brush roll: Open the floor head cover and take out the brush roll. Clean off hair and debris.
  • 2. Spin by hand: Check that the brush roll spins freely. If stiff or seized, replace the brush roll.
  • 3. Inspect drive system: Look for a broken belt or stripped gear inside the floor head (if accessible). Replace the belt or floor head assembly if damaged.
  • 4. Check power to head: With the battery installed, briefly run the vacuum and look for movement at the motor shaft inside the head (keep fingers clear). No movement suggests a failed motor or wiring.

Next step: Replace the motorized floor head assembly if the internal motor or wiring is faulty.
