This vacuum motor housing on top of vacuum heated up to too hot to keep hand on it. Normal?

no -I only run it maybe 10 mins so I haven't noticed anything like that but I would not consider it a normal thing to heat up so much-ask the company

Mine heats up but never so much I can't touch it. My father in law has the same vac and he said his heats up too so I figured it just ran hot.

Mine gets very warm/hot, but I can still touch it. I only run my vac for about 10 min at a time.

I've had mine for two years. It's not overused, just twice a week for about 10 minutes each time. It feels normal - warm, not hot. Getting too hot to touch in 5 minutes sounds like an electrical problem?

Gee I have not used this very much, and I am not having any issues with it yet. Not sure why yours may have done that. Was it exposed to extreme heat?

No, it is NOT normal for the booster to get hot. Mine has been in successful operation for over a year handling a good deal of traffic during the day.

it should not get very hot or smell hot , make sure it matches old motors specs ie. amp draw ,horsepower, & correct voltage & rotation

The type of aircraft you have was not included in the question, but if a 850mAh battery already overheats the motor, this will make it even hotter. Try searching for a compatible heatsink for your motor. Replacing old bearings on the motor may also reduce heat.

The heating unit is enclosed in the base of the machine. The hose of course would be hot if you didn't let the oil cool first which is what you should do.

Mine has been warm ever since I got it. I've been using it for months now without a problem. It's sitting on a shelf in the garage and I propped it up with an extra nut that I had in my toolbox to make sure there was some airflow.It's just noticeably warm, not hot. I can keep my hand on it. So far, so good.

No, it shouldn't be so hot as to cause worry. Mine just gets warm after a while

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.

Sorry, I don't know. I've only had mine for several months and have had no problem, except that it functions on vacuum overkill.

No such problem with mine. Sure you are keeping the handle squeezed? Are you using a 12-3 extension cord? Most are 14-3 wire and if more than 75 feet from house will cause electric motors to overheat. Actually small cords will burn your motor up! This would explain the overheating. As the motor gets hot, the safety inside the motor prevents re-starting until it cools. GET A 12-3 CORD. These are great tillers!

I've never noticed that happening, but I do know that the "vacuum" seems to be the tight seal between the lid and the pot which is why this termed a vacuum cooker. The handle gets very hot, I remove the lid with a pot holder and I feel the suction, but you do not have to pull very hard at all. I hope that you find this answer helpful.

I just bought this. I put both levers down, turned the dial to high, and when they popped up, the entire outside (except the strip around the very bottom) is so hot that you can't touch it without getting burned. I think it would probably melt any plastics that were inadvertently pushed against it. I think I'm going to return it just for this reason, even though I haven't toasted with it.Addendum: My BF was appalled at how hot this became, so he shone a flashlight all around inside, and you can see there is NO insulation between the outside walls and the metal lining the slots. No wonder it gets so hot. I just bought this.

I have not had a problem with it overheating, but have only used it for about 20 bags each time I have used it. I wait about 20 seconds between each vacuum sealing.

I just had to replace the bottom plastic cover that warped from heat, the motor got so hot at some point the paint blistered but a replacement cover fixed it.

Mine is warm to the touch but not excessive. The power supply is very warm though. I am going to look for a new one to replace it. Hope this helps.
