Craftsman Vacuums - Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals
Where is the thermal fuse on my craftsman 5.0 HP shop vac?
I don't know exactly but if it has one it will usually be found in intimate contact with the motor.
Some vacs were fitted with a bimetal breaker which is also sited close to the motor, but sometimes there is so much dust around once they open they fail to make a good contact again when the cool and close.
Older vacs weren't fitted with any safety devices.

I have a Craftsman wet
Most wet dry vacs have a ball float that blocks the vacuum when it is full of liquid. Yours sounds as if it is full or the ball has gotten stuck in the up, or blocking position.

How to replace the power cord?
Follow cord to where it goes on mower, then connect the wires the same way you took them off. but be sure to turn power off!!
Why is suction substantially reduced?
blockage in the suction line
if it is the wet mode there should be a valve (ball) that sucks up to stop water from getting to the motor when the receiver is too full. If you are in wet mode and still have the dust bag in place then the bag will be a solid block of mud and that will be the blockage.
My shop-vac stopped mid-job with no warning
Maybe it over heated or the hose was jammed. Unplug it for a few minutes, check the hose for any stuck debris, then plug it back in. Shop vacs also come with a filter. If the filter is too dirty, it might have shut off as a safety precaution to not cause a fire. Follow directions to clean the filter. Hope this helped. Dee
My shop vac jsut hums
If the check ball is stuck closing airway, the strike the unit on top when its off, you may hear the ball drop and there try again. Otherwise, if that's not it, most like the fan portion inside to create air movement has separated from shaft of motor assembly. You may try top open top and reconnect, but if you not sure don't try this. Take a look at product info for possible replacement or back to store for advice.
