Vacuum shuts down after a short run time; body feels hot and E05 or a thermometer icon appears

Safety first: Turn off the vacuum, remove the battery pack, and allow the unit to cool for at least 30 minutes before further inspection.

• 1. Allow full cooling: Place the vacuum in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. Do not cover the vents while cooling.
• 2. Inspect and clean filters: Remove and clean the pre‑motor and exhaust filters as per the user manual. Blocked filters are the most common cause of overheating.
• 3. Check air vents: Examine the motor housing and side vents for lint or dust buildup. Use a soft brush or dry cloth to clear them. Do not insert sharp objects into the vents.
• 4. Reduce power setting: After reassembly, test the vacuum on a lower power mode. Continuous use on turbo mode can trigger thermal protection, especially with partially clogged filters.
• 5. Monitor temperature: If the vacuum overheats again within a few minutes despite clean filters and vents, the motor windings or internal cooling fan may be failing.
• 6. Service recommendation: Motor replacement in Panasonic cordless vacuums requires disassembly of the main body and should be performed by an authorized technician.
