Possible Causes
Loose plug blades, Damaged cord conductors, Using undersized extension cord, Internal high-resistance connection
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit immediately if the cord feels hot to the touch.
- Inspect plug: Check the power plug for discoloration or looseness in the outlet. Try a different outlet.
- Avoid extension cords: Plug the cleaner directly into a wall outlet. If an extension is necessary, use a heavy-duty cord rated for the current draw.
- Check cord condition: Look for kinks, cuts, or crushed areas. Replace the power cord assembly if any damage is found.
- Professional inspection: If the cord and plug appear fine but still overheat, have a technician check for internal high-resistance connections.
