Possible Causes
Partially blocked airflow causing mild overheating, Dust buildup on motor cooling vents, Failing motor drawing excess current, High ambient temperature and long run times
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: If the unit becomes very hot, stop use and remove the battery. Allow to cool before inspection.
- 1. Clean filters and air paths: Ensure all filters are clean and dry. Check for blockages in the bin, wand, and nozzle.
- 2. Inspect cooling vents: Look for dust buildup on the motor cooling vents and clean with a soft brush or compressed air.
- 3. Shorten run times: In very warm environments, use the vacuum in shorter intervals and allow cooling periods.
- 4. Listen for motor strain: If the motor sounds strained or changes pitch, it may be failing and generating excess heat.
- 5. Replace motor if needed: If the vacuum continues to run hot despite clean airflow, the motor may be inefficient or partially shorted and should be replaced.
Excessive heat can damage internal components over time; address the cause promptly.
