Bosch Vacuum upright

Hi there! We recommend taking your vacuum to a Hoover authorized service center to have your cord repaired. Follow the link to locate the nearest service center to you. Thanks! Service Center Locator

Have you changed the bag lately? If not, I would try that first. If so, then check to be sure that nothing is blocking the pathway of the suction area. Check those two things and if you still have problems, come back and let us know.

maybe or it could possibly an eletrical problem.

Greetings from GoVacuum.com,

It sounds like you may have a bad thermal switch inside the machine. Most vacuum cleaners have a switch connected to the motor, so if the vacuum cleaner is running hot, it will shut off to prevent any damage to your motor. You did all the right things by checking the bag, making sure the hose was NOT clogged, and replacing HEPA filter.

Most of the time on canister vacuums, the reason is caused by a clog in the hose, or somewhere in the powerhead. If you're sure that there is no clog anywhere, it is going to be the thermal switch on the motor.

Here's a link to the parts schematic for the Bosch upright vacuum. I hope it helps you in determining how to access the thermal switch. A word of warning to you before you try it, this is a very tough vacuum cleaner to work on, you may want to bring it in to a vacuum repair shop, as this is not an easy repair.

open the head. there is a dc 120 v motor with a belt.
check for ac power going in to the rectifier board and dc comming out.
sometimes the black wire breaks inside the motor housing.
it is hard to open and close the motor housing side where the wires run and closing the power head is fun as well.there is a transformer for the light and wires have to be routed just right to close it up.
good luck

check the belt, it might be stretched or broken
or carpet fibers and hairs may have clogged up the brushes to keep them from rotating

let me know if this isn't the problem
