I have a Dirt Devil Vacuum that won't start up anymore. It was working, but then it stopped. The tube got clogged up. Now the tube is unclogged and empty and it won't turn back on. It's also hot on the bottom of it. Help? Blown fuse or what?

This is ridiculous. I have never had to do this with any vacuum I have owned in my whole entire life. A vacuum that just shuts off in the middle of vacuuming? Where does that happen? I mean I can't rate this vacuum any lower and I really had high hopes for it because it was a dirt devil and is a respectable brand. However from the day I brought this vacuum home it stopped on me. Within 30 minutes of vacuuming my living room, not the garage not outside not somewhere crazy, just my living room with normal carpet.

Some of the Dirt Devils have a reset button on the back, near the bottom. But if the it is getting hot on the bottom, that may mean the motor is trying to run but can't. Maybe something has jammed it. You would have to disasemble it to find out.
