Vacuum Motor Protection
An internal thermal protector has been designed into your vacuum to protect it from overheating. When the thermal protector activates, the main vacuum motor will stop operating. The front lights will remain on, even though the motor turns OFF. If this happens, proceed as follows.
-448093.png)
- Turn vacuum OFF and unplug from electrical outlet.
- Check for the source of overheating problem (full Dirt Tank, dirty filters, or a clog) and fix by following the maintenance instructions.
- When the motor cools for approximately 30 minutes, the thermal protector automatically resets and cleaning may continue. If the vacuum will not turn ON or the thermal protector continues to activate, your vacuum may need servicing. Contact BISSELL Consumer Care
NOTE: The thermal protector controls the main vacuum motor only, not the brush motor. If the thermal protector activates, brush and lights will continue to operate normally; however, there will be no suction.
