Shuts off after 10 MIN. if I wait 30 min. I can use it again but only for 10 min, then it shuts off again. Tried looking for clogs but couldn't find any. Kitty.
If there is no clog the filters may need replaced to improve airflow

This is a result of the motor overheating. Try cleaning the filter above the dirt cup. Remove the dirt cup and right above should be a grey plastic cover. Slide the lock to get to the filter. Once you clean the filter, allow it dry and place everything back the way it was. This should allow the vacuum to work much longer.

It may have a problem of overheating. If you havn't cleaned out the thing that holds all the dirt and dust, you may want to consider doing that. There might be a thermostat in it that shuts down whenever it thinks it's to hot.

I would clean or replace filters on it check the hose to make sure it is not blocked . It sound like it is over heating and making the breaker kick off and after it cools down it resets this is caused by dirty filters or blocked hoses.

If the filters are ok, and there is no clog in the hose or dirt inlet down by the brushroll, then the motor protector is probably bad.

Hello fellow vacuum enthusiasts . I recently struggled with similar issues. My eureka airspeed zuum was turning off after about 5 minutes of use, as well as no suction when attempting to use the hose and /or attachments. After completing dismantling the vacuum I found the cause.there are two filters that Will cause these issues. One is below the debris tank and one is above. The bottom one is white with almost a circular spindle like design and the top is a also circular but this one is made of foa rather than paper. So once I have the located and removed, I suggest you blow out the debris instead of using water. For two reasons..one so you do not need to wait 48 hours to reinstall and secondly by being able to put it right back in you can determine whether or not that was the issue right away . Hope that helped and leave a comment if you need assistance with any other issues !?!?.. Stay strong and vacuume on my friends
