Restriction of Airflow. The harder it has to work the more air it needs to cool the motor. So you need to source the blockage or clog.
Although Dyson's vacuum cleaners don't come with a video game-style reset button, you can reset the brush bar on upright models. ... Turn your Dyson vacuum cleaner's power off and unplug the cord from the electrical outlet. Flip the machine over to reveal the bottom side of the vacuum cleaner head.
Machine cut out during use. Most Dyson vacuums have a built in safety system thatstops the machine if it begins to overheat. This usually happens because the machine or tools are blocked. If your machine cuts out, unplug it and leave it for at least an hour to cool down.

First, check your outlet for power...plug something else in. Then, inspect the cord and check the power switch. You can use a multimeter to test across the power plug of the vacuum in the ohms position. Turn the switch off and on. If it does not change readings...the switch or cord is bad. If it does, it might be the motor.

The electric motor inside your Dyson has a built in over-current trip to protect itself (and you if it seriously overheated and caught fire). This normally automatically resets itself, however if the motor has just about had it, next time it is switched on it just trips again.
The primary cause of motors overheating is that the filters are not cleaned or replaced frequently enough. Dont be fooled by Dyson's "lifetime filters". They need to be regularly cleaned and replaced when necessary.
Replacement motors are available on eBay for about £25, however replacing one requires good DIY skills and tools.
