What to do if my Shark NV36A turns off by itself?
- JjohnsonjamesAug 1, 2025
Your Shark Vacuum Cleaner may be turning off on its own because it is equipped with a motor protective thermostat that automatically turns the unit off if it overheats. 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 the filters. 4. Check for blockages in the 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 it still doesn't start, contact Customer Service.
