Check the cleaner for a possible source of over- heating such as a full dust cup, a blocked hose or clogged filter. If these conditions are found, fix them and wait at least 30 minutes before attempting to use the cleaner. After the 30 minute period, plug the cleaner back in and push the on/ off switch on (l). If the cleaner still does not run, then take it to a Sanitaire/Eureka Authorized Service Center for repair.
