Possible Causes

Blocked cooling vents, Clogged pre‑motor filter, Failing motor with excessive heat, Faulty NTC thermistor on motor or PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Remove the battery and allow the vacuum to cool fully before touching the motor area.

  • Clean vents: Inspect all air intake and exhaust vents on the Parkside vacuum body. Use a soft brush or vacuum to remove lint and dust.
  • Service filters: Clean or replace the pre‑motor and HEPA filters. Restricted airflow causes the motor to overheat.
  • Check usage pattern: Avoid running continuously on turbo mode for extended periods in hot environments. Use lower power when possible.
  • Listen for motor issues: If the motor sounds rough or emits a burning smell, it may be overheating internally and should be replaced.
  • Thermistor/PCB fault: If the unit trips quickly even when cold and clean, the temperature sensor or its circuit on the PCB may be faulty, requiring PCB or motor assembly replacement.
