We have an Electrolux Renaissance cannister vacuum from the mid 1990's. When we turn it on, it powers up and has good suction and then after 1-2 minutes it shuts down. If I unplug it, re-plug it in, and turn it back on, it does the same thing again...over and over. The bag is new, and the motor seems to run well until it shuts off. Any thoughts or advice?

Hi @frank31880
What is the model number of the vacuum cleaner?
Have you checked that any user replaceable filters are clean and not clogged?
Most vacuum cleaner motors have a thermostat that monitors the temperature. It will operate and shut the vacuum cleaner down if the temperature exceeds a set temperature, to avoid any damage occurring to the motor and other components.
Normally the motor is kept cool by the air being sucked in when vacuuming, passing over it when it is operating
After the temperature has fallen sufficiently, the thermostat releases and allows the vacuum cleaner to operate again.
If the filters are clean etc, it could be a faulty thermostat or worst case a faulty motor winding.
