Possible Causes

Clogged cooling vents, Blocked filters, Failing motor bearings, Continuous use on MAX power

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum and remove the battery. Allow it to cool before further use.

Steps to try:

  • Clean vents: Use a soft brush or compressed air to clear dust from all ventilation openings around the motor and battery.
  • Clean filters and airflow path: Ensure all filters are clean and the suction path is unobstructed to reduce motor load.
  • Use lower power mode: Avoid extended use on MAX mode; alternate between modes to reduce heat buildup.
  • Monitor temperature: If the body still becomes very hot quickly, the motor may be failing and should be replaced.
