Check filter door cover is on tight, latch is locked. This happened to me with another brand.

different motor,the legacy does not have a filter,but the same bag...one is made of a light metal [legacy] the other a polycarbonate plastic. Chris

shuts off to avoid overfill .Simply change the bag..Chris

well yes in deed it is time for a new vac. for the motor bearings or armature are ceasing up ang causing the breaker to pop. if the vac. cord is hot then you know for sure...

it could be that your motor has fried or the wires on the motor have come loose.

This vacuum has a 10 year warranty on the motor, and 5 years on everything else. Look in the yellow pages under vacuums, for the AERUS dealer, that is the new name for the traditional Electrolux company.....

Actually the problem is inside of the canister itself. You need to change a part called the control valve. Occaisonally when fine particles get inside of the valve it damages the inside of the valve, sending a false reading to the main motor, causing it to shut off. This is a relatively quick and easy repair and should be recieved on a same day basis.

Yup! Clogged hose on the back of the cannister! Unit is designed to shut off for 30 minutes when this happens to protect your motor. Remove top of hose where debris enters the cannister through a filter above it, then remove the other end of the hose from the bottom of the back of the cannister, take it outside and use something long that'll fit inside the hose to force out all the clogged debris and hair through the top of the hose.
