Bosch BUC11700UC Cyclone Jet Bagless Upright Vacuum Questions & Answers
Vacuum cleaner shuts off after short use. What's
Almost all vacuum cleaners have a thermal cut-out, which operates when the machine gets too hot. It resets automatically when it cools down. Overheating is almost always caused by a blockage. Either the filters need cleaning or changing, or there's an obstruction somewhere in the pipe-work. Make sure all the pipes are clear so there's good air flow and you should be back in business. If the problem persists there may be trouble with the motor itself, in which case you'll need professional help (or a new machine). Good luck!
Need switch for a shop vac modle qpl650
Ok - heres my story - QPL650 crapped out mid job, checked this post, ordered the switch on the link here, didn't work.
Called Shop Vac, priced a power unit assembley ($82), took the motor apart and traced the orange wires into small junction box, replaced the little rod connecting the contacts with a 1/2" of coat hanger (white paint scaped off first) and I am back in business.
Now I am thinking $82 invested in an index fund at 6% per annum for 20 years is...................

Bosch vacuum Motor turns off after a few minutes
It sounds like you have a motor protection fuse that resets after an overheat/cooling cycle.These work the same as a circuit breaker in your house with the difference being they can reset themselves.The Bosch will also shut down if there is insufficient airflow and I would check your filters first.1) Pull the filter and let the machine run.Do not pick up debris when you operate without a filter-it will be drawn straight into the motor.If it runs fine without shutting down, all you need to do is change your filter.If it shuts down again check the external hose for any blockages.Also check the throat from the powerhead for any blockages.If you continue to have the same problem then you will need to replace the fuse because at this point you have eliminated all the other likely problems.Good Luck-Scott
Bosch BUC11700UC Cyclone Jet Upright Bagless Vaccum
I had the same problem. I ordered a new switch from a local appliance
place part#417915 (also try 54542), but it can be found on-line for
~$2+shipping. There are 11 screws to remove. Remove all nine screws
that hold on the back of the handle (be sure and get the two under the
attachment holder). Remove the two screw from the front that hold the
top dirt canister retaining bracket. Once you have the back of the
handle off, you can remove the single screw at the top of the handle
that holds on the top front where the switch is. The front will then
'snap' off.
The wires are soldered to the switch, and there is
absolutely no slack in the wires, so I don't recommend that you cut
them. Be very careful with the new switch, since the tabs on back can
break off very easily if bent too much (speaking from experience). You
might also want to order, and keep and extra switch, around for the
next time you need to replace it (it will wear out again).
Instead
of soldering the wires to the switch you might want to try using some
push on female spade connectors (small), but be sure they are
insulated. This will make the next replacement much easier.
