How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Stop using the vacuum immediately, turn it OFF, and remove the battery. Allow it to cool completely.
- Inspect and clean vents: Use a soft brush to remove dust from all cooling vents on the main body.
- Clear clogs and clean filters: Ensure all airways and filters are clean to reduce motor load.
- Monitor temperature: After cleaning, run the vacuum for a short period and check if the temperature rise is normal. Stop if it becomes hot again.
When to call a technician: Persistent overheating indicates a failing motor or battery and should be diagnosed by an ETA service center.
