LG 31160 User Guide

The agitator has a built-in protection
against motor damage should the
agitator jam.

If the agitator stops, the agitator
overload protector shuts off the 
agitator motor. The suction motor 
will remain on at this time.

To correct problem: Turn off and
unplug vacuum cleaner, remove
obstruction, and press the 

RESET button.

When vacuuming, if the agitator is
not running at full speed due to an
obstruction in the agitator area, the
agitator “ON/OFF” LED will begin a
series of three flashes followed by 
a pause.

To correct problem: Turn off and
unplug vacuum cleaner, then remove
obstruction from the agitator.

This vacuum cleaner has a thermal
overload protector which automatically
activates to protect the vacuum cleaner
from overheating. If a clog prevents the
normal flow of air to the motor, the
thermal protector turns the motor off
automatically to allow the motor to cool
in order to prevent possible damage to
the vacuum cleaner.

To correct problem: Turn the vacuum
cleaner off and unplug the power cord.
Check for and remove clogs, if
necessary. Also check and 
clean/ replace any clogged filters. 
Wait approximately 30 minutes and 
plug the vacuum cleaner in and turn
back on to see if the motor protector
has reset. The thermal protector system
will not reset until the vacuum cleaner
has cooled down.

Agitator ON/OFF

The LED headlight will come on when
the vacuum cleaner is on.
