Only runs with power button on.
Please be more specific about what will not stay on and what runs with power button on.....?
SOURCE: brushes do not rotate
Sounds as though your drive belt has come off. Or you have an object stopping the brushes from rotating.
SOURCE: Shark euro-pro x upright vacuum that shuts down every 15 minutes
These are prone to overheating. The manufacturer put a foam 'filter' wrap around the electric motor. This filter wrap insulates the motor, trapping heat inside, which causes overheating. The motor is very similar in form and function to the one in the Hoover Windtunnel, but the Windtunnel has no filter wrap. It doesn't overheat, and functions fine without it. There is a filter on the intake anyway. It's a redundant filter, and I have removed mine. It works fine now.
If you take the filter out yourself, you will need a special screwdriver for one of the motor cover screws. I guess they don't want the consumers opening it up.
I suggest taking it to a vacuum repair shop and explaining to them the problem, and asking them to remove the filter wrap from the motor.
SOURCE: The brushes do not rotate. It is not the filter.
Hi There,
When the brushes stop spinning, this indicates either that your spin scrub brushes are dirty and need cleaning, or that the internal turbine assembly has gone bad. Unfortunately this problem is widespread on Hoover SteamVac's.
No worries though, I have written a detailed diagnosing of this problem, and explain step by step how to fix it.
