How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the vacuum and remove the battery. Allow it to cool before further use.
- Step 1 – Clean filters and vents: Remove and clean all filters. Use a soft brush to clear dust from all external vents.
- Step 2 – Reduce duty cycle: Avoid running the vacuum continuously on turbo mode for long periods. Use lower power settings when possible.
- Step 3 – Check ambient conditions: Do not use the vacuum in very hot environments or direct sunlight.
- Step 4 – Test after cooling: After cleaning and cooling, run the vacuum for a short period and monitor temperature. If it still overheats quickly, internal components may be failing.
- Step 5 – Seek service: Persistent overheating indicates a motor or PCB issue that should be addressed by a technician.
