Possible Causes

Dust bin not sealed correctly to main body, Torn or missing bin gasket, Cracked wand or hose, Cyclone assembly not seated properly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum and remove the battery before inspecting seals and gaskets.

  • Check dust bin seating: Remove and reinstall the dust container, ensuring it clicks firmly into place. Inspect the rim for cracks.
  • Inspect gaskets: Look for rubber seals around the dust bin and cyclone assembly. If they are torn, flattened, or missing, they must be replaced.
  • Examine wand and joints: Check the extension wand and any flexible hoses for cracks or loose joints. Air leaks here will greatly reduce suction.
  • Verify cyclone assembly: Ensure the internal cyclone is fully inserted and locked. A misaligned cyclone can bypass airflow.

When to call a technician: If you find damaged seals or a cracked main body, order replacement gaskets or have the housing replaced by an ETA service center.
