Problem Solving - Eureka AS3100 series Owner's Manual

This vacuum cleaner has a special thermostat that protects the vacuum in case of motor overheating.
If the vacuum suddenly shuts off, proceed as follows: 1) Push the power switch to off and unplug
the vacuum. 2) Check the vacuum for a possible source of overheating such as a full dust cup,
blocked hose or clogged filter. If these conditions are found, fix them and wait at least 30 minutes
before attempting to use the vacuum. 3) After the 30 minute period, plug the vacuum back in and
turn on the switch. If the vacuum still does not work, call the Eureka customer service helpline.
