Miele Powerline C3 Vacuum Cleaner Starts/Stops by iteself

I have a powerline C3 Miele which was working fine for 5 years. It suddenly has started a strange behaviour, which makes it unusable! WhenI swtich on it cuts out/ switch off after 10 seconds being on, then after few seconds it switches back on for another 10 seconds and it goes on like this (left it for 5 min or so, still does the same thing). I replaced all the filters, checked for any blockage (except inside the motor) and do not know what is is the problem? Anybody had similar issue with their machine??

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Our Miele Complete C3 Brilliant started to show a very similar behavior. Will now take it apart to see if can find the issue.

I would suspect a thermal cutout in the motor because of the timing of the on/off operation. That could because of overheating of the motor or a bad thermal switch. However, I would first check the easy stuff, like a circuit breaker, if there is one, the on/off switch and spade lug connectors.
