dougcarrol, Dyson v6 shuts off like it may be over heating, could be Dysons thermal cut out. Found this info. at the Dyson link below, Most Dyson vacuums have a built in safety system that stops the machine if it begins to overheat. May happen because the filters need cleaned/washing, machine could be plugged/blocked, floor brush roller seized from debri/hair wrapped around brush. Unplug, check filters, check for blockages, clean brush so it spins easy. Check the links below for more info. and instruction. Also note Dysons contact link, as I was informed they can also answer any questions you may have on their products. Good luck.

I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.

I found the already posted answer helpful but felt like a little room for more information on the complete troubleshooting, hope it helps.
Reasons for Dyson Overheating & Cutting out:

  1. Dirty Filters: Reduced airflow due to dust and debris can lead to overheating.
  2. Clogged Cyclone Assembly: Excessive dust hampers airflow, straining the motor.
  3. Clogged Brush Bar: Jammed rollers or a malfunctioning motor can cause overheating.
  4. Faulty Interiors: Worn-out components may contribute to the issue.

Solutions to Fix Overheating:

  1. Clean Dust Bag: Regularly replace the dust bag to prevent blockages and overheating.
  2. Check Air Filter: Clean or replace the air filter to maintain optimal airflow.
  3. Inspect Belt: Ensure the belt is in good condition to prevent motor strain.
  4. Address Electrical Problems: Check for damaged cords and internal components, seeking professional help if needed.
  5. Let Dyson Cool Off: Restart the vacuum only after it has cooled down to avoid internal damage.
  6. Reset Thermal Fuse: Disconnect power and allow the vacuum to cool for an hour for the thermal fuse to reset.

I have added the source as a hyperlink in the first heading, I actually tried briefing the answer concisely here and cutting the fluff. Well, I'm glad it helped me fix mine by resetting the thermal fuse.
