After vacuuming a small size room the vacuum shuts down and is very hot. What are we doing wrong?

Make sure filter is installed correctly and is clean. Call Hoover customer service if that does not help. I have had no problems at all.

Mine is in the garage, and it worked fine all winter (in New England) - and the garage is not heated. If kept outdoors, it might be an issue. Hope this helps. Great vacuum.

It seems to just have low heat and high heat. It gets overheated very quickly too causing it to turn off.

This is not a question. You overheated it. Use a lower power for a little longer and you will reduce the likelihood of overheating.

Not sure why that would happen but I would definitely refer to the dyson official website; they have a lot of info, videos and troubleshooting guides. Good luck!

I would call a vacuum repair store. Most cities have them. The price of it was so inexpensive, I probably would not bother repairing it if it is old. I would just get a new unit if you like it that much.

Mine did this. The small filter on the back was dusty. It couldn't suck enough air through to cool its inner parts and it shut itself off. I simply removed and washed the filter and put it back after it dried and it worked fine after that. I read in the Manuel later that this should be done at least once every 3 months to make the heater run properly.

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.

Mine stopped as well, it was the on/off switch...I called Eureka and they gave me a list of warranty vacuum shops to choose from. Was in shop for 3 days and he mentioned it was one screw to get to part that broke so if it happens after warranty I know my husband can repair it.

Either the thermostat is set to low or it may be defective. Also the heater needs some outside air or it will shut off. Good Luck!!

The two I have are very quiet. Get a plumber, maybe you have a air vacuum issue.

I called Dyson about this (before I nearly returned it). During most warm months, you must lower it's setting to 32 deg to get cold air/airflow at all. Otherwise, It acts as an automatic heater, coming on and blowing hot air only when the temperature of the room is lower than the setting you selected. There may also be a slight delay before airflow begins as it can take a few minutes to calibrate.I was a little annoyed, I would have expected a 'just blow air' mode to act more like their other fan models.

I haven't checked mine, but it's nowhere close to 140-150F; it's more in the 200F Range. Something is definitely wrong with your Machine. Did you descale it regularly? Maybe that's something to look at.

yup mine shuts off too. you MUST remove the two hepa filters on the handle. and CLEAN the chamber EVERY time you use it. make sure ALL filters are clear of lint. it may still shut off but that is what i have found to help. the thermal overload is very finiky.

This should not be occurring; it should pop back out. You're creating a vacuum somehow. Check the lines to make sure they are not kinked or plugged.

In my opinion, the product that you have is defective and should be returned for replacement. Mine does not do this, but I have had the same thing happen with another brand that I used in the past. Or, is it possible that the hot air brush is too hot and needs to cool down before it restarts!! Hope this helps!!
