Damaged or missing HEPA/post-motor filter, Cracked dust bin, Poorly seated filter, Torn pre-motor filter

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.

Properly installed and intact filters and bins are essential to prevent dust leakage.
