Hoover u5720-900 quits running and restarts again after some time

I use my vacuum and after about 3 or 4 minutes it just shuts off. After about 10 minutes it will work again but shuts down after another couple minutes. I cleaned everything thoroughly and made no difference. Please help I have to repair shop were I am. thanks

    The filter under the canister is not the solution. It was clean as can be.

    I'll vacuum for about five minutes and the vacuum will shut off. It will restart in about half an hour but again will shut off after running only for five minutes.

    Vacuum shuts off after approx. 5 minutes of use. Will start OK after 1/2 hour. Try again and it shuts of again after approx. 5 minutes. Thermal sensor issue ???

There is one more filter under where the collection tank & Hepa filter sits -- there is one screw that holds the cover down - remove that filter and clean it that will help. I also find I need to vacuum the hepa filter as well- it is too expensive to replace all the time. The Hepa filter can be placed inside a plastic bag and shaken really good to get the dust off of it

Vacuum shuts off while in use
There is a thermal reset inside the motor that shuts it off. There may be a clog.somewhere or something restricting the airflow, it could be clogged filters. If there are no clogs or restrictions it is possible the thermal reset is bad in which case you will have to replace the motor.

There is a thermal sensor in the motor which shuts power off if it gets too hot but usually it won't turn back on until it cools down. It seems you might have a defective switch

My Hoover runs for a few minutes and shuts off.
It's possible the thermal reset is defective. It shuts the motor off if it gets hot. Remove the bag door and take the bag off, remove both filters and then turn the vacuum on, just leave it sit there with the motor running. This eliminates the bag or filters causing any airflow resistance. If it still shuts off after a few minutes it's likely the thermal reset is bad. Some vacuums have an external thermal reset button which can be replaced if necessary but on your model it is built into the motor and you must replace the motor. If the motor runs fine put the bag and the filter under the bag back in - (make sure the filter is clean and not restricting airflow) put the bag cover on then turn it on again. If it overheats and shuts off then you may have a clog on there somewhere restricting the airflow. If so check the power nozzle area, the hose coming from the power nozzle, the extension hose and wands for clogs or restrictions.

My hoover vacuum runs for about 10-15 minutes then the saftey feature shuts it off(overheat?). i have taking it apart a cleaned it with no results, added new bag also. after an hour it cools down and works...
Do you have suction through the tools? Does it look like it picks up when it runs? The machine could be clogged and that would cause the problem, but unfortunately the sensor that shuts the machine off could be bad if the machine isnt clogged. Its not easy to get to it, I'd take it to a repair shop.

After I run my vacuum for a couple of minutes it shuts off. If I unplug the vacuum and plug it into a different outlet most of the time it will start working again.
I would say check inside the plug and make sure the connections are tight. If the vacume runs fine on the other socket outlet then it will bw a faulty socket which cuts your hoover out. Can buy a new socket frount from diy stores for about 2-3 pounds. If the hoover also cuts out on the other sochet it will be a temperature cut out device on your hoover. If this is the case empty the bag and give it a good clean and get rid of any accumalation of dust/dirt

Hoover mach 5 only used 3 times
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.
