Possible Causes

Damaged dust bin gasket, Slight gap at wand connection, Small object partially blocking air path, Cracked cyclone housing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off and remove the battery before inspecting seals.

  • Check bin seal: Inspect the rubber gasket around the dust bin opening. If it is torn, flattened, or missing, replace the bin or gasket.
  • Inspect connections: Ensure the wand and attachments are fully inserted and locked.
  • Look for small blockages: Shine a light through the wand and cyclone inlet to find small objects lodged in corners and remove them.
  • Check cyclone housing: Look for hairline cracks. If present, replace the cyclone/dust bin assembly.
