How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum before opening the filter compartment.

  • Step 1 – Check HEPA filter presence: Open the exhaust filter cover and verify a Camry HEPA filter is installed.
  • Step 2 – Inspect filter condition: If the filter media is torn, warped, or heavily soiled, replace it with a genuine Camry HEPA exhaust filter.
  • Step 3 – Ensure proper seating: Install the filter in the correct orientation and fully close the cover so that all latches engage.
  • Step 4 – Inspect housing: Look for cracks in the filter frame or cover that could allow unfiltered air to bypass. Replace damaged parts.
