Possible Causes

Clogged or damaged HEPA filter, Missing foam pre-filter, Incorrect filter installed, Cracked filter housing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery pack and avoid shaking filters indoors.

Steps to restore filtration:

  • 1. Inspect HEPA filter: Remove the HEPA/exhaust filter and check for tears, holes, or heavy clogging. Replace if damaged or very dirty.
  • 2. Verify pre-filter presence: Ensure the foam or fabric pre-filter is installed in front of the motor. Missing pre-filters allow fine dust to reach the HEPA quickly.
  • 3. Check filter housing: Look for cracks or gaps around the filter frame that could bypass filtration.

Use only Hoover Candy-approved filters for your model to maintain proper dust retention.
