Possible Causes

Hair and fibres wrapped around mini brush bar, Worn mini tool belt (if belt-driven), Weak or failing mini tool motor, Blocked mini tool air path

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery and detach the mini motorised tool before servicing it.

  • 1. Open the mini tool: Most Vax mini tools have screws or clips to access the brush bar. Open the housing carefully.
  • 2. Clean the brush bar: Remove hair and fibres from the brush and end caps.
  • 3. Check the belt (if fitted): Inspect for stretching, cracks, or breakage. Replace if worn.
  • 4. Clear the air path: Remove any debris from the tool’s internal channels.

If the mini tool still stalls easily, the internal motor may be weak and the entire tool should be replaced.
