This vacuum cleaner has a thermal protector which automatically trips to protect the vacuum cleaner from overheating.
If a clog prevents the normal flow of air to the motor, the thermal protector trips and turns the motor off automatically.

Turn the vacuum cleaner off and unplug the power cord from the outlet to allow the vacuum cleaner to cool and the thermal
protector to reset automatically.
Check for and remove clogs, if necessary. Also check and replace any clogged filters and empty dust bin if necessary.
Wait approximately sixty (60) minutes and plug the vacuum cleaner in and turn back on to see if the motor protector has reset.
