Possible Causes

Damaged bin gasket, Misaligned dust container, Cracked hose or wand, Missing rubber seal on filter or bin

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum before inspecting for leaks.

  • Step 1 – Localize the sound: Run the vacuum briefly and listen around the bin, cyclone, wand joints, and floor head to find the loudest whistle point.
  • Step 2 – Inspect gaskets: Remove the bin and check the circular rubber gasket that seals to the motor body. If it is flattened, torn, or missing, replace the Camry bin gasket.
  • Step 3 – Check joints: Ensure the wand and attachments click firmly into place. Loose joints can leak air.
  • Step 4 – Look for cracks: Examine the wand and any flexible hose for hairline cracks. Replace any cracked Camry extension wand or hose.
