Possible Causes

Partially blocked cooling vents, Dirty filters increasing motor load, Failing motor bearings, High ambient temperature

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: If the housing is too hot to touch, stop using the vacuum and remove the battery pack.

Steps to reduce operating temperature:

  • 1. Clean vents: Use a soft brush to remove dust from all air intake and exhaust grilles on the handheld unit.
  • 2. Service filters: Clean or replace pre-motor and HEPA filters to reduce load on the motor.
  • 3. Shorten duty cycles: Use the vacuum in shorter bursts with cooling periods in between, especially in hot environments.

If the vacuum still runs very hot with clean filters and vents, the motor may be failing and should be replaced by a service center.
