No, the 'Sweets' were white card with your parts supply logo on them :)

I didn't find a solution to this problem, unfortunately when it comes to electronics (I think they must be at fault somewhere) I'm stuck).

The next problem I want to solve is the battery replacement in the Coralle straighteners - I will create a post on this as soon as I have the device in the shop.

I'm sorry that I didn't have netter news on this.
Nik.

If you have done none of those things, then you have no idea if the airpath is  clear or not.
Don't think the thermal fuse is the problem here,:check the simple stuff first.

Guess I have to do all this...

If it does not help, would you recommend to replace thermal fuze? Should fuse replacment lead to reduced ball heating?

Try it with the HEPA filter removed. If OK, the filter is clogged.
Checked the internal ducting, changeover valve, bottom hose? Hot washed the cyclone?
6
Still got a blockage somewhere that is restricting the airflow? But must be fairly minor if it runs for 15 mins before shutting down.
Where blockage can be? Canister is clean, all hoses are clean... But the ball gets hot fairly quickly. Where can I check?

I cleaned the commutator.
On reflection, the bushes are a bit worn, but the springs are good, so I would expect maybe a bit of noise, but not total failure.

I will need to get a multimeter on the triac, just in case it has failed and not blown a pin

Dirty or damaged commutator? Broken windings??
Very often the triac will overheat and blow a leg off, but you have ruled that out.

Cheers for the reply.
I stripped the motor down and the brushes and springs seem to be in fairly good condition.
I also checked the triac, and the legs and solder are intact.
Then, strangely, when I put it back together again, it wouldn’t start (light on power control flashes on but nothing more).
I then tried swapping the motor from my working C3 (403-42/2) and it started up fine.
Considering the component parts of the 408-42/2 seem ok, and neither the bushes nor the triac seem to be the problem - which seem to be the most common reasons for motor failure, I can’t see what the issue could be (with the motor).
Think I’ll have to wait till a scrap C3 appears.
