Possible Causes

Post-motor HEPA filter missing, Torn or incorrectly fitted filter, Non-genuine low-quality filter, Cracked filter housing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before accessing the exhaust filter.

Steps:

  • Check filter presence: Open the exhaust filter cover and confirm a filter is installed.
  • Inspect filter condition: Look for tears, holes, or deformation. Replace if damaged.
  • Fit correctly: Ensure the filter is seated flat and the cover is fully closed and latched.

If dust still escapes, the filter housing or seals may be cracked; replace the filter housing or main body section as needed.
