Is overheating and shuts off - Eureka 3276AZ Pet Lover Bagless Upright Vacuum

Remove all filters and the dust bin and leave the vacuum motor run for a while. If it does not shut off it may mean your filters are clogged and need replaced. Even washable filters should be replaced frequently because they become clogged and restrict the airflow. You can't always tell if a filter is clogged by looking at it.

Hi Cassidy. You are probably right about the motor overheating. The usual cause for overheating is a clog some where on the bottom of the machine. Check for anything that could be blocking the dirt fro going into the bag. Hope this helps Chris

Sounds like overheating of motor operating a thermal cut out ..Clean all filters you can run machine with no filters fitted to try if okay first.....

This model doesn't have a reset switch. When it shuts off due to overheating, the vacuum needs to be switched off and allowed to cool down for at least 30 minutes before using again.
Overheating is generally caused by blockages in the airflow system, and should be checked while it's shut down. A downloadable owner's manual can be found on the following site.

Sounds like there is a clog somewhere or a filter needs to be cleaned if it has one. Or the bag may need emptied.

these are called "universal motors" and very much overheating will cause them to be damaged beyond repair

It sounds like it is overheating because of a blocked flow of air that keeps the motor cool. Check for a blockage from the area of the
roller brush through the hose to where it goes into the bag.

Motor overheated so I waited for the thermo switch to reset

Hi,
Did you ever get to the bottom of your overheating and shut-down problem? Just got the same problem :(
regards,

There is no reset button on the 2100. If it shuts down, the indicator lights will tell you why. If it has been overheated, there is a self-resetting switch which will shut the motor down and the light will come on to indicate that particular problem. When you turn the machine off and then back on, it should re-start provided you have given the motor ample time to cool down. This will not solve the problem as to why it overheated in the first place. There are also lights and auto-switches that will control full bag and no bag. The machine will not run with no bag and a full bag will cause it to run for a few seconds and shut off.
