Hello Jeannette, you unit probably needs a system maintenance. Their are quite a number of possible problems affecting your unit.The belt could have cut thereby not rolling the motor, the motor could have become bad and the control board could have gone bad. Although apparently since the light still comes on this indicates that the power is still supplied into the unit. trouble shooting tips for vacuums differ what is the exact make and model of your unit? Let me know this so i can provide more exact answers for your problem.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
Thank you for visiting FixYa.

Hi, I have a question, I just got my vacuum 3 mouths ago and it shuts-off?

Your new filter should last more than a week but you may have to clean it thoroughly after each use. One problem with vacuums that do not have a bag is the surface area of the filter is usually not very big so it does not take much fine dust to clog the pores of the filter. If air can't pass through the filter the motor will get hot and shut off.

Hard to say without seeing it, is there a function type knob that you would switch from carpet to hose? Did the hose attachment lid close ok? Other then take, if this is new, it has a years warranty on it, just take it to a waranty shop for repair.
