Answer 1

I obtained the below instructions from your owners manual. Your machine is equipped with a Thermal Cutout switch to protect the motor from overheating. Follow the steps below and see if you can get your machine up and running. Great question by the way. Thanks for including the link.



Owners Manual:



THERMAL CUT OFF

This vacuum cleaner has a special thermostat that protects the cleaner in case of motor overheating. If the cleaner suddenly shuts off, push the on/off switch to off (O) and unplug the cleaner. Check the cleaner for a possible source of overheating such as a blocked hose or clogged filter. If these conditions are found, fix them and wait at least 30 minutes before attempting to use the cleaner. After the 30 minute period, plug the cleaner back in and turn on the switch. If the cleaner still does not run, then take it to a Eureka Authorized Service Center for repair.

I can't comment on that model, but I can say that when you have a lot of pets, your vacuum needs to be serviced sometimes, especially if it used to work better than it does now. Unless it was really an inexpensive vac, it might not be a bad idea to bring it in for service. They can unclog it and get the hair and litter (scoopable litter is death for vacuum cleaners) out and it will work better for a while. You could wait for a little while and check for reviews again. It looks like it must be a new vacuum because there aren't any reviews online yet. Or check out Consumer Reports at the library. Good luck!
