Clogged filters, Blocked vents, Overuse on high power, Failing motor drawing excess current

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Switch off the vacuum, remove the battery, and allow it to cool before inspection.

  • Clean filters thoroughly: Remove and clean all filters as per the Bush manual. Replace if necessary.
  • Check vents: Inspect the air vents on the main body for dust buildup. Clean with a soft brush or vacuum.
  • Use appropriate power setting: Avoid running continuously on turbo mode for long periods; use lower power for light cleaning.
  • Monitor temperature: After cleaning, run the vacuum and periodically check the body temperature. If it still becomes very hot quickly, the motor may be failing and should be replaced.
