Possible Causes

Failed IR receiver module, Faulty Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth communication board (for connected models), Corrupted control firmware, Loose interface board connector

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning sensor windows or handling the device.

  • 1. Check local controls: Try operating the unit using the physical buttons or touch controls on the device. If these work but the remote/app does not, the issue is with the communication interface.
  • 2. Clean IR window: For IR remote models, locate the IR receiver window on the unit and clean it with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure there is a clear line of sight from the remote.
  • 3. Replace remote batteries: Install fresh batteries in the remote and test again.
  • 4. Network reset (connected models): Follow the user manual to reset Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth settings and re-pair the device with the app. Ensure your router is functioning correctly.
  • 5. Firmware update: If available via the Dyson app, update the device firmware. Do not interrupt power during the update.
  • 6. Persistent F11: If the error remains, the IR receiver or communication board may be defective and require replacement by a technician.
