Vacuum Cleaner Turned On By Itself

A central vacuum cleaner system that starts to run on its own has a problem with its control system.

Vacuum cleaner turned on by itself.

I said that woman didn t you see. This happened last week and i m getting deja vu like i ve seen her before. An intermittent short in the low voltage control wiring is rare but it can happen. There are several possible reasons for the vacuum turning off on its own including blockages battery runtime and overheating.

If that roller is tangled and will not spin that could be a reason why the vacuum cleaner will not turn on. Be sure the vacuum unit is unplugged. Once you have done so turn the vacuum back on and see if the problem is fixed. If the suction motor continues to trip the overload you may need to replace the motor because the motor windings are bad.

I bumped into her. If the vacuum seems hot let it cool off first. Plug unit cord back into power. If you can hear power going into the motor but the vacuum is still not working then turn the vacuum off and clean or untangle the brush head.

If your vacuum has a reset button push it. If the vacuum turns off on its own select next step below to go through some troubleshooting steps. It was about 5 seconds we were staring at each other and i found it really unsettling so i turned back and looked again but she wasn t there.
