How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum, remove the battery, and allow it to cool completely.
- Step 1 – Clean vents and filters: Ensure all vents are clear and filters are clean and dry.
- Step 2 – Reduce power mode: Use standard mode instead of max for general cleaning and see if temperature remains acceptable.
- Step 3 – Monitor duration: If the vacuum overheats after only a few minutes of light use, the motor or electronics may be failing.
- Step 4 – Service: Have the motor and PCB inspected and replaced if necessary.
Warning: Do not ignore excessive heat; it can lead to component failure or fire.
