How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off the vacuum and remove the battery immediately. Allow it to cool completely before further use.
- 1. Clean vents: Use a soft brush to remove dust from all ventilation openings on the handheld unit.
- 2. Service filters and airflow: Clean or replace filters and clear all blockages in the airflow path.
- 3. Short test: After cooling and cleaning, run the vacuum for a short period and monitor temperature. If it heats up quickly again, discontinue use.
Persistent overheating indicates a failing motor or sensor and should be addressed by a service center.
