The ( so called ) Electrolux Oxygen is a Eureka vacuum cleaner in disquise. They have a reputation of failure after a year or two. This is primarily caused by cheap electronics that are used. Take it to your local vac repair shop for diagnosis. They can give you the price for repair and also show you some better products that are made somewhere other than China, that will work better and, cost less, and last longer.

The motor's overtemperature thermal shutoff is shutting down the motor. This is due to
undue load on the motor, from:
(a) bearings have lost lubrication and are about to seize up if you run the vacuum much more, or
(b) there is some resistance to turning the motor that has increased over time, possibly a loss
of lubrication around the beater bar, or turning the impeller.
Either way, finding the lubrication point that needs to be addressed will revive your dying vac.

My vacuum cleaner will run for a few minutes and then shuts off. The plug light on the panel blinks. I thought the motor was shut, but after a long time it will turn on again, but again, only for a few...

I know nothing about your particular vacuum, but many vacuum cleaners these days have
safety cut out's, which causes the motor to do exactly what you describe. Sadly blockages, faulty switches, over stretched cables, carbon brushes etc could also give similar symptoms, so sounds like a job for the repairer on this occasion. Get a quote first if you can.

My vacuum is constantly shutting itself off. When

It sounds like you have a blockage somewhere and the air is not passing over the motor to keep it cool. There is usually a thermostat mounted either on or near the motor. The blockage can be anywhere from the elbow ( the swivel part of your carpet sweeper if you have a canister vac) up thru the hose.If you have a canister vac, use a broom handle to push through the hose to clear the blockage. DO NOT ! use a coat hanger or anything that will cut or tare the hose. There are electrical wires in it that have 120 volts and causes quite a shock !
.
If you have an upright vac, start with the duct hose that comes from the part with the brush up to the hose and on to the main canister of the vac
If this does not work, take your vac to a reputable vac shop for repair. Hope this helps,
Joe

EL7020A ELECTROLUX VAC SHUTS OFF AFTER 10 MIN

The symptoms you describe are typical of a vac that has a blockage (hence poor suction). It cuts out because it's over-heating. You need to check the hose, the filters and anywhere else where something may have got stuck. Blockages are often caused by things like paper clips, but can be caused by something as apparently harmless as a piece of paper which gets stuck and then debris builds up behind it and causes a log-jam.

I have a new electrolux el7025a-r and it keeps cutting off while I am vacuuming. I am using the small powerhead on hard floors and I have checked the hoses for blockages and the bag is new. I can not...

The wands are notorious for going out on that unit. One or both probably need to be replaced. Try to get it done under warranty if you still have the receipt, but they shouldn't cost you too much if you can't.

Good Luck

Powerhead Keeps Shutting Off

Open up the power head and check the toothed corners where the power head sits - it sounds like thread has caught up at the sides which can only be removed by opening up the powerhead to clean it.

EL5 (large) powerhead

There is a no filter safety device part #1130912-01, maybe the new filter isn't in quite like it should be or this device has gone bad. Also check the brush roll and make sure it turns easily, if not then that could be the cause.
