Possible Causes
Damaged dust bin gasket, Loose filter cover, Crack in main body or wand, Misaligned HEPA filter cover on TCL unit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF and remove the battery before inspecting for leaks.
- 1. Listen for source: Run the vacuum briefly and listen near the dust bin, filter cover, and wand joints to locate the whistle (then turn it off).
- 2. Check gaskets: Inspect rubber seals around the dust bin and filter covers. Reseat or replace any that are twisted or torn.
- 3. Tighten covers: Ensure the HEPA filter cover and dust bin latch are fully closed and locked.
- 4. Inspect for cracks: Look for visible cracks in the plastic housing or wand. Replace cracked components.
Result: Eliminating leaks by replacing gaskets or cracked parts will usually stop the whistling and restore suction.
