Possible Causes

Partially blocked airflow, Failing motor, Restricted exhaust vents, Continuous use beyond duty cycle

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Clean all airflow paths: Empty the bin, clean cyclone, pre-filter, and HEPA filter. Ensure exhaust vents are not blocked by dust or fabric.
  • Shorter duty cycles: Use the vacuum in shorter sessions with breaks, especially on MAX mode.
  • Monitor temperature: After cleaning, run the vacuum for a few minutes and check if the handle still becomes very hot. Mild warmth is normal; excessive heat is not.
  • If overheating continues: The motor may be failing internally. Replace the main motor assembly to prevent sudden failure.
