Possible Causes

Damaged electrical contacts on wand or floor head, Broken wiring in wand harness, Incompatible or non-original accessory, Faulty accessory ID chip in brush head

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting electrical contacts on the wand or accessories.

  • Check accessory compatibility: Ensure you are using a Tineco brush head or tool designed for your specific model.
  • Inspect contacts: Look at the metal pins and pads on the wand and accessory. Clean gently with a dry cloth. Do not bend pins.
  • Test with another accessory: If another powered head or tool works, the original accessory is likely faulty.
  • Check wand continuity (visual): Inspect the wand for kinks, dents, or crush damage that could break internal wires.
  • Replace faulty part: Replace the damaged accessory or wand with a genuine Tineco part. If no accessories are recognized, the main body connector or control board may need service.
