Problem Solving Guide

Thermal motor protection

Your Brilliance is equipped with a 

 

safeguard to recognize when the vacuum 
heats up and shuts down to protect your 

vacuum cleaner. Note that when this 

 

happens, the headlight is still on but the 
motors shut off. Common reasons why a 
vacuum may overheat include operating a 
vacuum with a full bag or when there is a 
clog in the vacuum. 

• Unplug the vacuum. 

•  Inspect your vacuum for a full bag 

 

condition or a hose clog and correct  
the problem. Locate the Thermal Motor 
Reset button on the back of the vacuum. 
Press button and resume vacuuming. 

If problem continues, contact your 

 

Authorized Riccar Retailer.
