what could be the problem?

originally it was burning, so i changed the motor for one off ebay and now it doesnt burn but switches off after 20 or so seconds. ive tried without the filter and bin on to make sure it was cutting out due to being clogged, when its on, it has very good suction

rekon its the motor again?

the cleaning of cyclone and filters has stopped it from cutting out

ended up breakign the bin release rod, so now how to get that

lol

ive just stripped it down again, and opened the motor and made sure all connections were fine, reseated the thermo switch and washed the filters and cyclone.

cant test it all untill its all dry, but when i checked all connections, i hooked it up to the main via the switch and powered the motor, it seemed to run fine and more then 20secs but i didnt check it before i fitted it first time around

lets see what happens tomorrow now, else i will have to go and exchnage the motor(30miles away)

I had a dyson that did the same, I traced mine down to a ping pong ball stuck in it.
