Why does my Shark Vacuum Cleaner turn off by itself?
- DDr. Amy HartJul 31, 2025
Your Shark Vacuum Cleaner might be turning off on its own because it is equipped with a motor protective thermostat. If the vacuum overheats, the thermostat will automatically turn the unit off. To restart the motor thermostat: 1. Move the On/Off switch to the 'O' (Off) position. 2. Unplug the vacuum. 3. Empty the dust cup and clean filters. 4. Check for blockages in hose, accessories, and inlet openings. 5. Allow the unit to cool for a minimum of 45 minutes. 6. Plug in the vacuum. 7. Turn the On/Off switch to the 'I' (On) position to restart the vacuum. If the vacuum still does not start, contact Customer Service at: 1-800-798-7398.
