How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before inspection.
- Clean filters and vents: Remove and clean all filters and ensure air vents are unobstructed.
- Check brush and belt: Ensure the brush spins freely and the belt is not too tight or binding.
- Inspect motor: If accessible, check for excessive dust buildup around the motor and clean carefully.
- Test run without brush: Temporarily remove the belt and brush, then test the unit. If it runs normally, the issue is with the brush system; if it still shuts off, the motor or electronics may be failing.
Repeated short cycling can permanently damage the motor; address the cause promptly.
