<title><![CDATA[Handheld Vacuum Cleaner: Vacuum cleaner switches off immediately]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I have <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08JHKZXYV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?tag=ifixitam-20" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">this vacuum cleaner</a> for only 3 months. It stopped working - when I press the switch button, the 3 LED flashing, motor is running for half a second and the device  is switching off.</p>

<p>The device has 1 switch button: first press - half speed, second press - maximal speed. third press- switches off.</p>

<p>I checked the motor capacitor - it is ok. I connected the battery to the motor - it works continuously, thus the battery is not faulty.</p>

<p>The voltage that comes to the motor after pressing the switch button once is about 2v (even for lower speed looks too low). The motor designated voltage is 7.4v.</p>

<p>Any help will be highly appreciated.</p>
