Camry Airflow Restriction / Loss of Seal

Vacuum has very weak suction even though the motor sounds normal

Possible Causes

Clogged cyclone assembly, Blocked wand or hose, Damaged bin or cyclone seals, Cracked extension wand

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum and remove the battery before clearing blockages.

  • Step 1 – Empty the bin: Remove and empty the Camry dust container. Tap gently to remove fine dust.
  • Step 2 – Check for clogs: Detach the wand and any hose. Look through them toward a light source. Use a non‑sharp rod to push out any blockage.
  • Step 3 – Inspect seals: Examine the rubber seals where the bin meets the cyclone and where the cyclone meets the motor body. Replace any torn or flattened Camry bin/cyclone seal gaskets.
  • Step 4 – Check for cracks: Look for cracks in the plastic bin, cyclone, or wand that could leak air. Replace damaged parts.
  • Step 5 – Test suction at the main inlet: Remove all attachments and test suction directly at the handheld inlet. If strong there but weak at the floor head, the issue is in the wand or head.
