The motor keeps shutting off during use because it's getting hot. I can hit reset after it cools off enough, is this a known issue?

I've not had that experience either. I do know that the instructions said not to run the blender continuously for more than 5 minutes (I think). Maybe you're running it for too long?

I notice that my machine gets a bit hot but has never shut down as a result. I have not had it on for more than a minute - usually much less.

There is a thermal sensor *and* an overload (you put too much in and blades can't spin safely) sensor. Make sure you know which one is tripping. I hit the overload one a few times when I first got it because I overfilled it during initial testing.

Yes. It's in the product information included in the box. You are doing what is recommended.

If your Versa shuts off that is because there is a thermal element that shuts off to protect the unit. Most likely this is tripped by putting too many nuts in the blender at one time while trying to make a almond butter/nut butter. That is because when the butter thickens up the blades cannot spin as easily. The best way to avoid this only put about a cup of nuts in at a time. If you don't overload the machine it won't trip the reset.

I never let it run to that point. Always monitored it as it is not one with auto shut off. replaced an older one that worked well for many years, but was cautioned to not let it run dry as it would burn out. So I continue the same process.

This motor has a thermal cutoff switch if safety temperature is exceeded. Not sure how long and under what conditions you are running the motor?

Mine shut down from overheating too and it cools VERY well. The cooling does not seem to be the issue with this device. But the fan on mine broke after only a month. And the wire got caught in the fan. It's simply poorly designed. But cools very well.

Mine is doing the same thing. But it does run strong for the few seconds it does run. Suspect the printed circuit board. It is a two speed motor, so if you tap the button a second time quickly before it turns off, it runs in the "low" mode.

I don't remember it being hot. I would only worry if it was hot by the motor or plug. I have 2, been using for years without a problem.

If you overtax the motor, it will shut automatically off. However, it will turn on again very quickly, after 30 seconds or so.

I have not had any issues with the motor or the heater. Was installed in December 2012. LOVE my ipool!

Yes, just be aware the motor gets hot while in use and may shut itself off until it cools off with extended use.

I don't know for sure, but I doubt it. I do know that the fan motor has an internal thermal switch which makes it shut down if it gets too hot. So my best guess would be that it is not a good choice for that application, unless the motor is well insulated from the high temperatures.

I replaced mine with the same one that was on it. After sitting during the winter when I tried to use it the motor didn't want to come on. I took it apart and cleaned it and now it works like new. Try to clean motor first before ordering a new one.

If you touch the bottom machinery underneath- mine were BURNING HOT after 20 minutes using mine today for the first time. The pedals do not get hot, though, so you just need to make sure you hold it by the white parts. It even says on the directions that it will get hot.. This doesn't interfere with function at all though...

Mine did that then it went into continuous cycling. I replaced the motor half and the replacement did it also. I returned mine and hoped my kitty wasn't too traumatized. Good luck.

When I had this problem it was a motor issue. All I could do was call for repair and replace motor. Good luck

Our motor is very loud for about 5 minutes and then we can hit the unit and it goes back to it's normal quiet state. I think the motor is about to burn out, but hitting it seems to work for now. We were out of warranty when it began, so I never pursued a fix.

Make sure you have adequate clearance for air intake, the motor gets hot. Also, very loud, even at low speed - but it does move a lot of air.

Sounds silly be but when the cool button is on it stays cool (unlike some that go back to hot when you stop pressing, it's almost more like an on and off button)try pressing up and let it run for 10-15 secs. If that's not the problem try contacting the company they are really good at sending new ones are sending free replacement pieces. Good luck!!
