Reasons for turning off the vacuum cleaner

Began to notice that your vacuum cleaner began to turn off spontaneously during operation? The reasons for this behavior may be different and most of them, unfortunately, cannot be eliminated on our own without the help of a qualified specialist. But to know why this happens, and try to solve the problem yourself, will not be superfluous.

Why is this happening?

The most common cause of spontaneous turning off the vacuum cleaner during operation is overheat its parts and assemblies, which can be caused by:

• Strong contamination of the inlet or outlet filter (they must be regularly clean).
• High temperature in the room where the cleaning is done.
• Clogged flexible hose or inlet.
• Pollution of the engine or electronic components.
• Brush wear.
• Contact violation of one of the engine parts.
• Contact failure in the power outlet.

To find out why the vacuum cleaner is turned off, it is necessary to exclude all factors not related to technical malfunctions. To do this, at the time of cleaning, open windows or air vents to ventilate the room, check the tightness of the plug with the household outlet, carefully clean the dust bag or filter and see if the flexible hose is not clogged by disconnecting it from the running device.

Some vacuum cleaners have special indicators on the case, showing the degree of contamination of filters and suction power.

When a heavily soiled filter or dust bag rises dramatically engine load and falls suction power device. In addition, the air flow passing through the engine and cooling its parts during operation weakens, which can cause overheating protection (and if it is not available, the vacuum cleaner can simply fail).

If the problem persists, you will not be able to resolve it yourself, unless you yourself are an engineer or electrician by training. In this case, immediately stop operating the faulty device and contact a qualified technician for help.

Often the cause of spontaneous disconnection is also a poor contact or damage to the twisting power cord at the place of its connection with a vacuum cleaner.

In general, any oddity in the work of a vacuum cleaner that is not related to overheating may indicate about its technical malfunction. And if he is still completely new with you, then the cause of the malfunction can only be in a factory marriage or poor-quality assembly of the device. In this case, you should immediately contact the store where you bought it, or the service of warranty service, until the warranty period has expired. Remember that the sooner you do this, the easier it will be to solve the problem.

This will save you time and money, as eliminating a small breakdown at an early stage will help avoid serious problems in the future.
