Cordless vacuum displays E5 and shuts down after a few seconds, body feels warm

Safety first: Turn off the vacuum and remove the battery. Allow the unit to cool for at least 30 minutes before further use.

• Empty and clean: Empty the dust bin completely. Clean the cyclone shroud and bin seals.
• Clean all filters: Remove pre-motor and post-motor filters. Tap off dust and, if allowed by the manual, rinse under lukewarm water. Let them dry for at least 24 hours before refitting.
• Check for blockages: Inspect the wand, floorhead, and all air paths for clogs. Remove any obstructions.
• Ventilation check: Ensure the motor exhaust vents on the handheld body are not blocked by dust or being covered by your hand during use.
• Test on low power first: After cooling and cleaning, test the vacuum on the lowest power setting. If it runs longer without E5, gradually increase power.
• Persistent overheating: If E5 returns quickly even with clean filters and clear airflow, the main motor or temperature sensor may be failing. Continued use could cause permanent damage; seek professional service or replace the main motor assembly.
