  Your Shop-Vac Vacuum Cleaner may lose suction or overheat due to several reasons. It could be a clogged filter, which you can resolve by brushing the dirt off the filter or replacing it if the issue persists. Another cause might be an air leak; ensure all fittings like nozzles and the hose are tightly fitted and the tank cover is properly sealed. Lastly, check for any obstructions in the hose or nozzle and remove them.
