How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting seals.

  • Step 1 – Observe leak points: Run the vacuum briefly and watch where dust escapes. Then switch off and remove the battery.
  • Step 2 – Inspect gaskets and O‑rings: Check around the bin, cyclone, and filter housing for flattened or torn seals. Replace any damaged seals.
  • Step 3 – Check for cracks: Look for hairline cracks in the bin or cyclone. Replace the entire assembly if cracked.
  • Step 4 – Ensure proper assembly: Refit the bin and filters carefully, ensuring all latches click into place.
