Possible Causes

Safety: Unplug before inspection.

Clean vents: Brush dust from all external vents and grills.
Check filters: Ensure only the correct filters are fitted and not stacked incorrectly, which can restrict airflow.
Reduce duty cycle: Allow the machine to rest between heavy wet pickup sessions.
