The Dyson V6 has a dirt capacity of 0.4 litres.

The first thing to check is that the vacuum is actually plugged in.It’s easy to accidentally pull the plug slightly out of the socket when cleaning at the end of the vacuum’s range, so double-check that this hasn’t happened.. On a related note, pulling on the cord like this can damage it over time, so it’s definitely something that should be avoided.. It’s also worth trying another plug socket to see whether this fixes the issue.

Sometimes there may be a fault with a plug socket, rather than the Shark vacuum itself.. Damage to the cord may also cause your vacuum to cut off.Turn off the Shark vacuum and unplug it from the mains supply, then inspect the entire length for any cuts or other signs of damage.. A damaged power cord isn’t something you can fix at home.If you notice any damage, or just suspect that it’s the power cord causing the issue, then stop using the vacuum and contact Shark’s support team.

Do not use the vacuum again until it’s been fixed.. Overheating Issues.Overheating is probably the most common cause of a Shark vacuum cutting out.

The protective thermostat inside the vacuum does this automatically to protect the motor, so restoring the vacuum’s airflow should solve the issue..

Here are the steps to take to fix an overheating issue:.What’s the actual difference between a vacuum with a 68dB noise intensity and a 72dB noise intensity?

And how will this affect your cleaning tasks?.We consider any vacuum under 75dB to be quiet, while those below 65dB are “silent.” With that said, you still won’t be able to have a regular conversation if your vacuum cleaner outputs 75dB.

It’s still relatively loud, but noticeably quieter than the loudest vacuums..It’s vital to protect your hearing against loud noises.
