I am having the same problem!

May seem silly but the please empty me sensor is the most common cause. Oops, do I have to empty this thing?

I have not even used the machine yet. I just took it out of the box and filled the appropriate canisters with water and cleaner.

It could well be an intermittent on/off switch ...You can try leaving the switch in the on position then flex the mains cable back & forth in the area where the cable enters the body of the machine it is here that the cable is most under stress and can sometimes break either the live or neutral wires. Also check the cable at the appliances plug & the connections.

Another reason may be the motor is overheating an may have an internal thermal switch that is shutting off the machine.

Also check for blocked filters... or foreign objects that may have become lodged starting from head end of the Hoover.

I had to take mine back to Home Depot and they gave me another one. They must have had a bad batch with faulty power buttons.

The power will not stay on. This is for Dyson specifically.

The power comes on when you press the button, but it shuts off as soon as you release.

The power button is sticking or misaligned

With the machine unplugged, press the power button down and slip it off quick enough that it makes a pop noise. Do this about ten times. Plug the vacuum back in and the power should stay on.

My friend had a problem just in the blocked filter, but I would rather recommend contacting the service. They were offered to replace and I looked through the entire website in search of the best vacuum for shag carpets . I did not encounter such a problem anymore, but it is a pity that the new equipment does not work.

My problem was with a shop Vac. If you look under the filter you will see a rubber float inside. If you hold that up and try to push the switch you will see it go directly to the switch. This is a safe shut off to prevent water getting into the motor. Make sure the bottom is clean so it drops all the way down or your Vac will shut off as soon as you let go of the button. I have two Vac and both was doing the same thing one I had to clean the bottom that is rested on the other had junk around it restricting it’s travel. I hope this helps.

Yes, this is fixable provided the parts are available and you have a meter. Find out what parts are available before you start because the brush motor, switch and logic card might be needed. Take a look at price and availability! You will need to remove all the screws from the head of the cleaner so you can get at the motor for the brushes. Check the motor power wires to make sure they are getting power. No? Check the switch…is is working? No? You need a new switch. Yes? you will need a new logic card. If the motor is getting power and not running try putting a drop of sewing machine oil on both bearings. Happy cleaning!

I had this problem as well and was able to fix it. Using the instructions to take apart the top where the switches are from this video, I popped off the green buttons and pulled out the red switches. I could tell that the brush roller one clicked in and out, but the power one didn't, and it was stuck in part-way. By pulling up on the springy stuck switch, it was able to get unstuck and click in and out again. Now it's working, hurray!
