How to Identify and Fix Common Vacuum Problems ?
Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced Vacuum Technicians :
The cause of this is the carbon dust. The carbon dust eventually becomes too much for the airflow so it gets blocked and the powerful motor is blowing it`s exhaust really powerfully, so the air must go somewhere. The sealed filter is doing well but it becomes too much so it just pops the filter out.
Most cases of a jammed or stuck brush bar are quick and easy to fix, simply pulling the debris gently from the brush bar. Alternatively, if you need to clear a problematic blockage, you can take the brush bar out of the housing easily, for quick maintenance.
We recommend you give your Dyson filter a thorough cleaning every month. You should also aim to replace your filter every year. Although this amount of time can change depending on how often you use your vacuum and how dirty the floors are.
Wash filters in cold water only (don`t use detergent or wash in a dishwasher or washing machine). Rinsing under the water supply then gently squeezing the water out of the filter. Repeat until the water runs clear.
In our opinion though, it`s definitely not a good idea to wash and reuse a HEPA filter. HEPA filters work by trapping small airborne particles from your room, if you disturb those particles by washing the filter, it`s most likely you will release them back into your environment.
How and when to clean/replace your Dyson filter. Your Dyson vacuum cleaner may include one or more filters that need to be cleaned to keep your machine operating at its best. Washing your Dyson filter is quick and easy.
A blockage in the machine, causing a reduction in airflow. A blockage in the head, causing it to stutter in use. An issue with the electrical pins, either in the wand or floor tool.
Dry filters
by leaving them in a warm place for 24 hours, until completely dry. NB: Don`t dry the filter in a tumble dryer, microwave or near a naked flame.
Once you have cleaned your filters, leave them to dry by placing them in a warm place for 24 hours. The team at Dyson warn not to dry your filters in a tumble dryer, microwave or near a naked flame. Finally, pop your filter back in your vacuum cleaner and you`ll be good to go.

Hello,
I would advise you to ALWAYS to FIRST UNPLUG YOUR VACUUM before beginning any service procedure. Typically the top filter of which is the sponge is washable but the HEPA filter is not, it can be brushed off and vacuum off with another vacuum, but the best filtration is to replace the HEPA filter and to wash the sponge filter, if the sponge filter get to bad then replace the sponge filter as well. Or, you can check with your local vacuum cleaner dealer in your area or to contact the manufacturer’s website and or phone #. So if you need further assistance, please feel free to contact your local vacuum cleaner dealer in your area or in the yellow pages, or contact the factory phone number or website to further assist you with your questions. .

Go Ahead. Use Us. I had used Dyson DC08 to **** out a wet car carpet. A few days later when using the V/C, there was a burning smell. Subsequently I washed the flexible hose, changed the pre-filter and post filter , but I wrongly put the pre-filter in the spot for the post filter. When the V/C was next used, there was again a burning smell and sparks. The filters were switched, but the V/C would not re-start.
What shall I do?

Ball filter is popping up, stopping ball rotating and ball area is getting hot
ANSWER : Hi there,
I’m sorry to hear you’re having difficulties with your DC25 Animal. If the filter inside the Ball will not stay in place during use, please make sure that when you refit it, it locks into place with an audible ‘click’.
I can confirm it’s normal for your Dyson to become warm during use, but if you’re concerned that it seems excessively hot, I’d encourage you to get in touch with us directly so we can help. You can reach us on 0800 298 0298 (UK), or 1-866-693-9766 (US).
Best wishes,

I just received my Hepa filter in the mail today. Product #XSH621 – Hepa filter for EP619 & EP621 :005-04 When bought my vacumn, I was told that the filters were free and all I do is pay Postage. Today I received one filter and it lookes like I got charged the postage for two filters. The packages slips: One stated order #11152282 The other order # 1151940 If I get charged for two I expect to receive two. Can you help me with this matter or where can I go to get resolution. Catherine Fantini e-
ANSWER : This isn’t really a problem that can be fixed here on Fixya rather than advise you as a buyer. You’d have to contact the people/company you have purchased the filters from and take it up with them regarding the postage. Hope you get a decent reply.
