  If your DeWalt Vacuum Cleaner stops running, it may be due to a tripped thermal overload. Here’s what you should do: 1. Turn the vacuum off and disconnect it from the power source. 2. Empty the canister, if it’s full. 3. Allow the unit to cool down for about 3-5 minutes. 4. Plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet and turn the on/off switch to the ON position to test. If the vacuum still won’t restart, call 1-888-899-0146.
