How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery before opening filter compartments.
- Check filter installation: Ensure all filters are installed in the correct orientation and fully seated.
- Inspect filters: Look for tears, holes, or missing gaskets on pre-motor and HEPA filters. Replace if damaged.
- Inspect dust bin: Check for cracks or gaps where dust could escape. Replace the bin if damaged.
- Seal check: Verify that the bin and filter covers latch securely with no visible gaps.
