Vacuum Motor Protection
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.
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.
1. Turn vacuum OFF and unplug.
2. Check for the source of overheating
problem (full Dirt Tank, dirty filters,
or a clog) and fix by following the
maintenance instructions.
3. 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.
