Why does the FloorMate keep shutting off?

The dirty water collection tank is full. Also make sure you clean and wash the filters. If the filters are clogged it will shut down.

the motor is overheating. Mine did the same then poof, it burned up one day. Apparently this is a common problem as they aren't on the market anymore and others have reported the same. Personally, I think Hoover should have give us all a refund or voucher for a different one. I bought the smaller one and it is awesome and lasts forever but covers less area and doesn't have all the attachments. Buying this one was a bad decision.

Can't really tell you, mine worked about a year and ended in a puff of smoke....

The unit doesn't shut off, but eventually it will power down. It goes into a self-cleaning mode to get rid of any build up. It can smell a little chemically, but it isn't dangerous.

Mine shuts off too; not even at particularly high volume either. Signal is being fed into the unit via stereo minijack. You are not alone.

I don't believe the shutting off is caused by the microswitch. This problem is the control panel.

Hey Stanley, it shouldn't stop at all until the time you set is up. If its stopping then you have a hardware problem with your Airfryer.

I have had that happen but not often. I figured it must get "overheated" and it needs a cool down period. It will come back on after a short time. If this is the case--it's really a safety factor.

There is a mechanism within the the system that causes it to turn off when the heater is tipped over or off its base. However, that is all for nothing because the thing stopped working after 4 months. Do not buy this machine. Find a good Honeywell.

I have asked, and did not get an answer from the company. If you find out a way to shut it off, PLEASE let me know.

I'm sorry, I don't remember exactly. If I remember correctly, there is a large button above the dirty water tank that will push down allowing you to pull the dirty water tank out. You would replace it by sliding it back into place allowing the button to click to a locked position. For exact instructions, see the instruction manual that came with your floormate. It has easy to follow instructions.

We never had a problem and it does not shut off. You should check with manufacturer to see if it can be a defective unit

I have run mine as long a 4 hrs and it has never shut down. Send it back and get another one.

I have not come across that problem yet. we have had no reason to shut it down, and have had no loss of power due to outages. when this was installed for me in a large walk-in cooler, wine cooler, it took one month with the manufacturer to be up and running. Your best bet is to just email to the manufacturer. I worked with them on and off for a month making adjustments and they were absolutely phenomenal to work with.I think the coolbot was an excellent investment. you just need the right system to pair it with. again manufacture of was key with that.

I contacted customer service regarding this issue and they responded that this can't be shut off and the timing can't be altered. I'm not sure why they have this shutoff built in but it is irritating.

I encountered the same problem, it shuts down itself after being turn on for awhile. This is due to malfunction and bad design of the product. I returned mine to amazon once I found out the issue.

Try keeping the base up against a wall, so when the roomba docks it can't move the base around. Also, although hardwood floors might look even to us, if the floors are not 100% level, the unit has a hard time docking. However, I found over time that the roomba had a harder time docking on the base as the unit got older. Eventually I ended up getting rid of the docking station and plugging it in manually for recharging.

Ours did that for awhile and we would power it down and up, make sure the bin was completely empty. After a couple of weeks it stopped doing it and hasn't done it since.

I think it's supposed to have an automatic shut off. Maybe yours is not working proper? Send it back.
