Like any other technical device, a vacuum cleaner can fail. During operation, various malfunctions can occur, associated with the gradual deterioration of equipment or a technical error in the design of the product. A common problem for a vacuum cleaner is its unexpected self-shutdown during operation.
If the vacuum cleaner is turned off during operation, there may be several reasons. This is most often due to a dirty filter or a clogged hose. Clogged hose leads to the fact that the engine runs constantly with a high load and as a result overheats. Pollution of the filter blowing leads, in principle, to the same thing. Warm air enters the filter, but cannot go outside. This causes the engine to overheat. In both cases, a shutdown will occur. The vacuum cleaner has a special protective system that disconnects the motor power supply circuit and will not allow the vacuum cleaner to turn on again if the temperature has not dropped to safe values.
In addition, even if the vacuum cleaner turns on and off immediately, this is absolutely normal operation of the safety thermostat. The point is that the engine temperature is still high. Let the vacuum cleaner cool for a long time.
Please note that there are absolutely ridiculous simple malfunctions. For example, the wire in the outlet may go out or contact may be broken inside the vacuum cleaner itself.
Typically, all of these symptoms are described in detail in the instructions for use of the vacuum cleaner.
There are more serious damage. A vacuum cleaner, like other equipment, has a certain resource. All modern vacuum cleaners have an electric motor with brushes. The brushes are worn away. The vacuum cleaner is very noisy and the details inside sparkle. Bad contact causes a trip. Such a malfunction cannot be resolved independently, and service centers often request an amount in excess of the cost of a new vacuum cleaner for equipment repair.
Vacuum cleaner troubleshooting
If the vacuum cleaner stopped working during operation, then you should not panic. Most likely, it was just overheating. In order to understand what is the reason, it is necessary to inspect all components of the device and, if necessary, clean them of contamination. Clean exhaust filter, check hose for obstruction, inspect all filters. Rinse and cleanse your hair. If all this does not help, and the vacuum cleaner turns on and off immediately, then let it cool down properly. Then retest. When repeating the shutdown, try replacing all filters with new ones. Sometimes you have to get rid of blow filters. In addition, you need to check the thermostat of the vacuum cleaner.
