Possible Causes

Full dust bin, Blocked cyclone causing reverse flow, Missing or damaged inlet flap in floor head, Using vacuum at steep upward angle

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum before cleaning.

  • Step 1 – Empty bin: Ensure the Camry dust container is emptied before it reaches the MAX line.
  • Step 2 – Clean cyclone: Remove packed dust from the cyclone assembly to restore proper separation.
  • Step 3 – Inspect floor head flap: Look inside the floor head for a rubber flap or check valve. If torn or missing, replace the Camry floor head flap / seal or the entire head.
  • Step 4 – Adjust usage angle: Avoid holding the vacuum with the nozzle pointing sharply upward when turning it off.
