Unit powers on but shuts off randomly during use without any error code.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

Possible Causes

Overheating suction motor, Loose internal power connection, Failing thermal protector, Partially blocked airflow

Safety first: Unplug before inspection.

Clean filters and airflow path: Remove and clean all filters and clear hose/nozzle blockages to reduce motor load.
Check vents: Ensure motor cooling vents are not blocked by dust or carpet fibers.
Inspect wiring: Open the housing and gently tug on power connectors to the switch, motor, and PCB. Reseat any loose plugs.
Thermal protector: If the unit always restarts after cooling, the thermal protector may be weak. Replace the motor assembly or protector per Electrolux service instructions.
