How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Remove the battery before handling filters.

  • Re-clean and dry filter: Ensure the pre-motor filter is completely dry and free of detergent residue.
  • Check seating: Reinstall the filter firmly in the correct orientation so that any sensor tabs or magnets align properly.
  • Reset maintenance indicator: Follow the user manual procedure (often holding a specific button for several seconds) to reset the filter indicator.
  • If the icon remains: The filter sensor or PCB may be faulty. Continued use is possible but filtration performance should be monitored. Service is recommended for sensor replacement.
