Possible Causes

Blocked cooling vents, clogged filters causing a high load, failing motor bearings increasing friction, or a faulty temperature sensor not triggering shutdown.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum and remove the battery if the housing feels very hot. Allow it to cool completely.

  • Clean vents: Use a soft brush or compressed air to clear dust from all ventilation openings.
  • Service filters and airflow: Clean the filters and remove any clogs in the airflow path.
  • Short test: After cooling and cleaning, run the vacuum for a short period and monitor the temperature.
  • If overheating continues: The motor or thermal sensor may be faulty. Continued use can be unsafe; have the unit serviced.
