Possible Causes

Pre‑motor filter missing or installed incorrectly, HEPA filter saturated and ruptured, Filter cover not latched, Cracked filter frame

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before opening the filter compartments.

  • Inspect all filters: Confirm that both pre‑motor and post‑motor filters are present and correctly oriented.
  • Replace saturated filters: If filters are heavily soiled, wet, or damaged, replace them. Do not reuse a torn filter.
  • Check covers and seals: Ensure filter covers close fully and the rubber seals are intact.
  • Test after replacement: After installing new filters, run the vacuum briefly and check the exhaust for visible dust.
  • Service if still blowing dust: If dust continues to escape, the internal filter housing may be cracked and require professional replacement.
