I’ve had this Vax upright for about 5 years. Recently it’s started to cut off when I’m using it. I feel the base - and it’s hot. Any ideas for anything that I can do to fix it?

I’m not technically minded but I will have a go - if it will save me having to buy a new vacuum.

Edit: many thanks for all the replies and advice.

    Yep you can! Just make sure you don’t work on it plugged in and be careful around any capacitors if you’ve run it recently. They can hold charge
