Vacuum shuts off after a short time with a hot smell, no specific error code

Safety first: Remove the battery pack and allow the unit to cool for at least 30 minutes. Do not continue to run the vacuum if you smell burning.

Step-by-step:

• 1. Empty and clean: Empty the dust bin and clean all filters as per the user manual. Ensure filters are completely dry before refitting.
• 2. Clean cooling vents: Use a soft brush or another vacuum to remove dust from the motor housing vents and any air inlets on the body.
• 3. Reduce load: Use low or normal power mode for general cleaning, reserving maximum power for short bursts.
• 4. Check environment: Avoid using the vacuum in very hot rooms or in direct sunlight for extended periods.

If the vacuum continues to overheat and shut down with clean filters and clear vents, the motor windings or thermal cut‑out may be failing and should be inspected by a technician.
