My vacuum shuts off during vacuuming and wont turn back on despite various attempts over a span of days. Today, after a month, it turned back on and luckily I was able to get most of my vacuuming done before it shut off again. I have 2 very furry cats, but it still doesn't turn back on when I clean the cartridge.

Piece of junk, out of the box it shuts down after 20 seconds of operation. Also when you raise or lower it it will shut down,
What happened to Hoover???
My moms is Hoover 35 years old and still working even though I tell her to buy a new one year after year.
Maybe shes right.

I had same problem. Turned out to be the filter that sits above the waste cannister. Remove the waste cannister. There is a little orange lever that releases the filter. It was caked with dirt not allowing any air flow causing the motor to overheat.
This foam filter gets dirty pretty fast.
Me too, it would shut down. I emptied the bag and cleaned the filter with dish washing soap and we are good to go! There may be some people with bad thermal sensors, but I think they need to really clean the hepa filter. This is the main air input port.

It maybe plugged somewhere casuing the motor to overheat and shut down. Check the hose and the inlet by the brush roll for clogs. The air intake tube on the back, take off and check in that area. See also page 11 in your owner manual. Or go to:

I have the same problem! I cleaned out the filters, emptied the can and plugged it in - nothing! It has been a week now and it still wont turn on.
My Hoover Fusion Vacuum Cleaner just suddenly stopped working. It is less than a year old....I love my vacuum. Is there a fuse somewhere to replace?
I have the same problem with my Hoover Windtunnel Cyclone. I have a white german shepherd that sheds a lot, and while vacuuming tonight the thing just shut off. Is it just overheated?
I have a similar problem - the unit shuts off after about 10 -15 minutes and may not restart for hours or days. It appears totally intermittent, but my assumption is the thermal protection circuit has gone bad since the unit has been thoroughly cleaned. This means shipping the vacuum back to Hoover. I'd rather buy a reconditioned unit than do that.
