![]() Did you try running it around with the filter removed and seeing if the problem occurs still? It might be the filter is trapping extra heat near the thermostat and fooling it into thinking that its overheating (I'm not sure where they put the thermostat wire). I have the Electrolux Guardian (different vacuum) and the filter box on it overheats the vacuum enormously. I tried a filter box with a different filter type in it and it helped cut down on the trapped heat. The old one looked like it was original to the vacuum, totally loaded with carbon dust. |

Thank you, huskyvacs. That's a good idea. I didn't think of the filter being a problem. I'll try it. |

Michael, try swapping out the HEPA exhaust filter from your Aerus Guardian Ultra with the electrostatic exhaust filter from the Aerus Classic. Huskyvacs has a good point, the increased resistance to airflow that the HEPA filter has might trap the hot air just long enough that it causes the overheat sensor to believe the vacuum is overheating. The electrostatic filter material used in the Classic's filter should have much less resistance to airflow, while still capturing the carbon dust from the motor.
I personally have never liked the HEPA Filter used in the Guardian Ultra - the quality of the filter paper used just seems cheap, and not as good as other HEPA Filters from other brands, like Miele. If you're concerned about the vacuum not filtering as well, just use HEPA Cloth Electrolux C bags and change the electrostatic filter more frequently than Aerus recommends - maybe every third bag change instead of six. If you use the HEPA bags, all the electrostatic filter really is capturing at that point is carbon dust anyways. |
