Possible Causes
Damaged bin gasket, cracked dust bin, misfitted cyclone assembly, loose wand or nozzle connection.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting seals.
- 1. Check bin seating: Remove and refit the dust bin, ensuring it clicks firmly into place.
- 2. Inspect gaskets: Examine the rubber seals around the bin, cyclone, and main body inlet. Replace any that are torn, flattened, or missing.
- 3. Check for cracks: Look for hairline cracks in the bin or cyclone housing. Replace the damaged component.
- 4. Tighten connections: Ensure the wand and nozzle are fully inserted and locked. A loose connection can cause whistling and reduced suction.
