I was using the Shark Navigator and the unit just turned off. There was no electrical smell. It had been running about 20-30 minutes. I has set for days now and it still will not power on. No motor smell. I am thinking maybe a switch. Are there any limit switches involved that was shut down power or only the main power switch?
Plugged in:
Try moving the cord around at the strain relief, where cord enters the vac, as internal wires may have broken.
Unplugged:
Check brushes of electric motor, they may be worn down.
Unplugged:
Check main switch continuity with a meter on ohms or buzzer.
Limits:
No.
But there could be a thermal fuse either in or on the motor, to avoid overheating damage and smoke signals!

I had a similar problem; disassembed switch and clamped electrical bayonets tighter with a pair of pliers; works good now.

These are prone to overheating. The manufacturer put a foam 'filter' wrap around the electric motor. This filter wrap insulates the motor, trapping heat inside, which causes overheating. The motor is very similar in form and function to the one in the Hoover Windtunnel, but the Windtunnel has no filter wrap. It doesn't overheat, and functions fine without it. There is a filter on the intake anyway. It's a redundant filter, and I have removed mine. It works fine now.
If you take the filter out yourself, you will need a special screwdriver for one of the motor cover screws. I guess they don't want the consumers opening it up.
I suggest taking it to a vacuum repair shop and explaining to them the problem, and asking them to remove the filter wrap from the motor.

What I tried and it worked for me is to losen the hose slightly from where it connects to the long plastic tube on the side to allow the little hole to show. What that does is to lessen the suction power a little since the problem is that the suction is too powerful on the carpet and the roller freezes.

I'm not sure it has one. Check the owner's manual though.
Try this. Turn off vacuum. Unplug it. Make sure there are no clogs in main hose, power head intake tube, or intake inside tank. Plug it in, turn it on, and let us know what happens.
