How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the vacuum, remove the battery, and allow it to cool completely before further use.

  • Clean filters and vents: Remove and clean all filters. Use a soft brush to clear dust from intake and exhaust vents.
  • Check for blockages: Ensure the air path from floor head to exhaust is clear.
  • Reduce power: Avoid using MAX mode continuously for long periods; switch to standard mode when possible.
  • Monitor behavior: If overheating persists after cleaning, the Main Motor Assembly may be failing and should be replaced.
