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.

    I can beat that: we’ve got a metal-bodied Viking vacuum from the late 1960s that I believe is still in functional condition (although not often used anymore, thanks to Roombas). It survived decades of pet hair.
