Possible Causes

Damaged bin gasket, Misfitted filter, Cracked dust container, Missing O-ring on cyclone

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery pack and work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling dust.

Steps to stop dust leakage:

  • 1. Inspect bin and seals: Remove the dust container and examine all rubber gaskets and O-rings for tears, flattening, or missing sections.
  • 2. Check for cracks: Look closely at the bin and cyclone body for hairline cracks that could allow dust to escape.
  • 3. Verify filter fit: Ensure the pre-motor and HEPA filters are seated correctly and that any locking rings are fully engaged.

Replace damaged seals or the entire dust bin/cyclone assembly with Hoover Candy OEM parts to restore proper filtration and containment.
