How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before handling filters.

  • 1. Inspect pre-motor filter: Remove the foam or fabric pre-motor filter and check for tears or holes. Replace if damaged.
  • 2. Check HEPA filter: Remove the rear HEPA filter. Look for cracks in the plastic frame or damaged pleats. Ensure the rubber gasket is intact.
  • 3. Fit genuine filters: Use only genuine Swan HEPA and pre-motor filters designed for your model to ensure proper sealing.
  • 4. Clean filter seats: Wipe the plastic surfaces where filters sit to remove dust that could prevent a good seal.
