- 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.
