Running the Vacuum for Too Long.In some cases, a Vax may overheat simply because it’s been used for an extended period of time..

usually shouldn’t happen if the vacuum is functioning correctly, but may be the cause if you’ve been vacuuming for a long time without letting it cool down.. Switch off the vacuum and allow it to cool for 24 hours, then try using it again.If the vacuum runs fine, then it may have just needed time to cool down.If the vacuum runs for a short time and then cuts out again, however, then there is another issue that needs to be fixed.. What If None of These Potential Issues Are Causing the Problem?.

If your Vax vacuum is still cutting out after you’ve cleaned the filters, checked for blockages, and allowed the vacuum to cool down, then we recommend contacting Vax’s support team.There may be an issue with the vacuum that requires professional repair..

Some examples include:.

A damaged power cable that has a loose connection.. A faulty power switch.. A motor fault.. It’s important that any electrical issues are fixed by a licensed professional.Remove the hose and inspect either end for visible blockages..

Check for internal blockages by squeezing along the hose.If you find one, gently bend around the clump to loosen it.. Push a thin broom handle through the hose to dislodge any blockages.

Don’t use too much force.. Rinse the inside of the hose with cold water, then fill the sink with a few inches of water and washing up liquid.Submerge the vacuum hose and move it around so water gets inside.. (Optional) Combine baking soda with white vinegar (1:4 ratio), then dilute it with water.
