Hoover Telios works well for about 10/15 mins. then stops, is it overheating? i have renewed all filters but it made no difference, theres good suction so what could be the problem?

its called a T O C ,(thermal overload cutout,)if all filters are clean and no blockages in air passage or hoses,check under the base plate as muck can accumulate there and cause the motor to overheat,then the toc kicks in to keep the motor from burning out,its self resetting when it cools

They (most vacs) have an overheat safety cut out strapped to the motor - they can sometimes misbehave...

Thank you Peccavi, just tried it but it stopped again, I think it is overheating somehow

Often (sometimes) broken wire in cable near plug (constant tugging) - for the sake of 10 mins work and the cost of a replacement plug cut 6-9" of cable away and fit a new plug. If it's still the same you will have lost very little.

You can sometimes check for this by setting the machine to On and wriggling the cable near the plug.

Good luck...
