Vacuum body becomes uncomfortably hot to hold near motor area

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Blocked motor cooling vents, Clogged filters, Prolonged high-power use, Failing motor bearings increasing load

Safety first: Remove the battery and allow the unit to cool fully before inspection.

1. Clean vents: Use a soft brush to remove dust from all cooling vents on the main body.
2. Clean filters and airflow path: Ensure filters, bin, wand, and floorhead are all clear and clean.
3. Adjust usage: Avoid long continuous runs on turbo mode; use standard mode where possible.

If the body still becomes very hot quickly, the main motor assembly may be failing and should be replaced.
