Possible Causes

Clogged cyclone assembly, Full or blocked dust cup, Clogged pre-motor filter, Cracked wand or hose causing air leak

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum and remove the battery before cleaning.

Steps to try:

  • Empty dust cup: Remove and empty the dust cup. Clean the interior and check the bottom flap for proper sealing.
  • Clean cyclone: Remove the cyclone unit and tap it gently to dislodge fine dust. Use a soft brush to clean the mesh screen.
  • Clean filters: Remove foam/felt pre-motor filters and the HEPA/post-motor filter. Clean or replace according to the Eureka manual.
  • Inspect wand and nozzle: Detach the wand and look through it toward a light source. Remove any visible clogs. Check the nozzle neck and air channels for blockages.
  • Check for cracks: Examine the wand and dust cup for cracks that could cause air leaks. Replace damaged parts.
