Fantom Vacums Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals

Carol, Have you checked to make sure that all of the filters have been cleaned so that you have good air flow? The HEPA filter is your final exhaust filter and if your motor is getting hot because of poor air flow, it will cause the HEPA filter to get hot as well. Hope this helps!

I can locate one for you, if you can supply me with the model number of your vacuum.

on all vacuum cleaners the air flow cools the motor. If the filter is sufficiently clogged there would not have enough air flow to cool the motor and trips out from over heat. Clean out the filter thoroughly and try again.

May have a faulty wire or there could be something rapped around the spook at the end jamming it enough to strain the motor and slow the spinning

Check the fuse, replace if blown WITH SAME RATING FUSE. If there has been any damage caused to the cable, have this replaced by A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

If you have a normal 2 wire switch, you should be fine. Be sure the amps on the new switch match the old and the terminals are the same size (don't try to force a small terminal onto a large one). Also, be sure that if you use another switch, be sure the terminals are wrapped or protected to keep them from shorting out if they were to fall off. With a little plastic modification, you sure can fit a square switch into a round hole lol. Good luck.

Issues such as digging into the power switch is best left to a repair facility. I would take it to them to determine the correct order.

Is this the Lightning model? How old is it? You may have to just replace the belt.Also, the front brush motor will not engage until the power is turned on and the handle is in the down position. In the upright position the brush motor wont engage. Typical faults will be the belt is broken and needs replacing or the fornt brush motor needs replacing.
