Possible Causes
Damaged dust bin gasket, Misaligned cyclone seal, Crack in main body or bin, Filter cover not fully closed
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting for leaks.
- Step 1 – Check bin and covers: Ensure the dust bin and all filter covers are fully latched.
- Step 2 – Inspect gaskets: Look for flattened, torn, or missing rubber seals around the bin and filters. Clean them and reseat carefully.
- Step 3 – Locate leak: With the vacuum running (use caution), move your hand around joints and seams to feel for escaping air. Do not block vents completely.
If a crack or permanently deformed seal is found, replace the affected plastic housing or gasket set.
