Possible Causes

Filters not dried properly after washing, Organic debris (food, pet hair) trapped in brush, Dustbin not cleaned regularly, Mold growth in bin or cyclone

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off and remove the battery.

  • Empty and wash bin: If allowed by Dreame, wash the dustbin with mild soap and water, then dry completely.
  • Clean brushroll: Remove hair and wash the soft roller or brush (if washable). Let it dry fully.
  • Replace filters: Install new filters if the smell persists; old filters can retain odors.

Never operate the vacuum with wet filters or brushrolls installed.
