How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Stop using the vacuum, remove the battery pack, and allow it to cool before inspection.

  • 1. Clean filters: Remove and clean or wash the pre-motor and HEPA filters as specified for your Grundig model.
  • 2. Check vents: Inspect the cooling vents around the motor housing. Use a soft brush or compressed air (short bursts) to remove dust. Do not insert sharp objects.
  • 3. Adjust usage: Avoid running the vacuum continuously on turbo for long periods. Alternate between modes to reduce heat.
  • 4. If overheating persists: The motor may be deteriorating or the internal airflow path may be blocked. Have a technician inspect and clean or replace the motor assembly.
