Hoover wind tunnel vacuum cleaner shuts off during use

Hoover wind tunnel shuts off during use only after about five minutes of use. It appears to get hot and shut down. I've taken it apart and cleaned every part but the problem still exist.

Check the inlet down by the brush roll to make sure it isn't clogged. If not and the hose isn't clogged, then probably the thermo protector (part #28382093) maybe bad. It is mounted near the motor. Could be motor Part #43576188. But I would suspect a clog in the inlet or hose, or the thermo protector has gone bad.

Motor front bearing retainer probably melted from grit. Replace motor. The motor's rotor is dragging on the stator.

Reset button on hoover wind tunnel
Hi there! There is no reset button on the cleaner. The vacuum has a thermal protector sensor that will shut the vacuum off when the motor reaches a certain temperature. This is usually caused by a clog or filter that needs to be cleaned or replaced. Be sure to check the hoses for clogs and clean and replace any filters if needed. The vacuum will turn back on when it cools off, this can take up to an hour. Good luck!

How do you change the Hoover wind tunnel belts?
If you turn the vacuum over there will be (4) screws that hold on the base cover for the roller brush. Remove the screws and the cover and you can get to the belt(s). You can get replacement belts here:
