- Check if there is any other blockage in the system – Use a rod or pole to remove any blockage from the extension tube or flexible hose.
- Check if pre-motor filter is fitted and filter door is closed.
Warning (Certain models only*) -. If the cleaner is used for a significant period of time when dust container is full, filters are dirty and with a blockage in the system, a thermal cut out will switch the cleaner off to prevent overheating. If this should happen, switch the cleaner off, unplug and correct the fault. It will take about 30 minutes for the cut out to automatically reset.
