When the thermal protector activates, the main vacuum motor will stop operating. If this happens, proceed as follows. 1. Turn the cleaner OFF and unplug from electrical outlet. 2. Check the cleaner for the source of overheating problem (i.e. full dirt cup, dirty filters or clog). 3. Fix the problem by following the steps in the maintenance section of the user guide. 4. When the motor cools for approximately 30 minutes, the thermal protector will reset and cleaning may continue. If the cleaner will not turn on or the thermal protector continues to activate, your cleaner may need servicing.
