Possible Causes

Damaged or missing bin seal, Bin not latched correctly, Torn pre-motor filter, Cracked dirt bin or cyclone housing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • 1. Check bin fitment: Remove and refit the dirt bin, ensuring it clicks firmly into place and there are no gaps.
  • 2. Inspect seals: Examine the rubber gasket around the bin and cyclone outlet. Replace the bin or seal if cracked, flattened, or missing.
  • 3. Inspect filters: Check the pre-motor filter for tears or holes. Replace if damaged.
  • 4. Check for cracks: Look for cracks in the bin or cyclone body that could allow dust to escape.

Replace any damaged components to restore a proper seal and prevent dust leakage.
