Possible Causes
Too much detergent in solution tank, Not enough vacuum-only passes, Blocked recovery path, Incorrect detergent type
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before adjusting tanks or cleaning parts.
- Check detergent ratio: Follow Dyson’s recommended dilution. Empty and refill the solution tank if over‑concentrated.
- Increase dry passes: After spraying, make several passes with suction only (no trigger) to remove excess solution.
- Clear recovery path: Ensure the suction nozzle and dirty water tank inlet are clear.
- Use approved detergent: Only use detergents recommended by Dyson to minimise foaming and residue.
