  4. Check the cleaner head

  5. Check the bin seal and cyclone

  6. Check the hose for cracks

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my Dyson lose suction after a few minutes?

Intermittent suction loss is usually caused by a partially blocked filter restricting airflow. The machine may also be thermal-cutting due to overheating from a blocked airway.

How often should I wash my Dyson filter?

Dyson recommends washing the filter at least once a month. If you vacuum frequently or have pets, wash it every two weeks.

Can I use my Dyson without a filter?

No — operating a Dyson without a filter can damage the motor and voids the warranty. Always ensure the filter is installed and dry before use.
