I’ve had this Vax upright for about 5 years. Recently it’s started to cut off when I’m using it. I feel the base - and it’s hot. Any ideas for anything that I can do to fix it?

I’m not technically minded but I will have a go - if it will save me having to buy a new vacuum.

Edit: many thanks for all the replies and advice.

    You will also want to make sure the filter isn’t clogged up. Most overheating is going to be an airflow issue. You can also look up online how to pull it apart and check components. You may also have a loose power connection somewhere. Make sure the vacuum is unplugged before you mess with it.
