3. Follow your checks
Match the model and preparation to start.
Read all possible routes
Is the charger disconnected, the machine cool and undamaged, and your hand away from the trigger?
- Yes — Continue with the matching parts and the checks below.
- No — Stop for a damaged charger, burning smell, liquid exposure, a swollen or leaking battery, broken catches or an obstruction you cannot safely reach. Contact Dyson and keep the battery sealed.
- Not sure — Save your observations and compare the matching manual before continuing.
Was either filter washed during the maintenance session you are checking now?
- Yes — Open Wash the pre-filter or Wash the post-filter below to finish the saved drying interval and dry refit. This check cannot replace either filter task.
- No — Continue only with filters that stayed dry throughout this bin, airway or brush care.
- Not sure — Save your observations and compare the matching manual before continuing.
Are both filters already completely dry and fitted, with the bin, attachments and any removed fastener present and undamaged?
- Yes — Inspect the existing dry fit before the trigger is used.
- No — Restore the correct components using their own tasks; a washed filter must finish its timed task and damage needs support.
- Not sure — Save your observations and compare the matching manual before continuing.
4. Follow and record
Complete the checks before recording physical work. Follow steps in order.
Review the completed care
Record the completed bin, airway or brush care. Confirm both filters stayed dry throughout it. If either filter was washed during this session, stop here and use its saved filter task instead.
Look for: Recent washing is handled in the timed Filter A and Filter B tasks linked below.
Manual: p11 Vacuuming; Washing the filters; p12 Looking for blockagesCheck both filter positions
Check that Filter A is seated in the top and Filter B is in its normal locked rear position. Both must be dry.
Look for: No damp, missing or loosely seated filter is acceptable for use.
Manual: p11 Vacuuming; Washing the filters; p12 Looking for blockagesCheck the clear bin
Confirm the bin catch holds, the cyclone is down and the base is latched. Check the dirt remains below MAX.
Look for: A base that springs open or a catch that will not hold requires support.
Manual: p11 Emptying the clear bin; Cleaning the clear binCheck the attachment chain
Confirm the wand and matching head are secured by their catches. If the brush bar was removed, confirm its marked fastener holds it firmly.
Look for: No loose part or object is near the brush.
Manual: p12 Looking for blockages; p10 Direct drive cleaner head: Clearing obstructions; p11 OperationChoose a suitable test surface
Check the flooring maker’s recommendations and remove foreign objects from the tool underside. Use a suitable dry area and keep hands, hair and clothing away from moving parts.
Look for: The check uses ordinary floor pickup, without sharp or hot test debris.
Manual: p11 Carpets or hard floors; VacuumingRecord normal use
Run briefly as in normal cleaning. Record pickup, brush behavior and any pulsing. Release the trigger and stop for abnormal heat, noise or recurring trouble.
Look for: An unchanged symptom is a useful support record, not a reason for repeated test runs.
Manual: p11 Vacuuming; Washing the filters; p12 Looking for blockagesSave the next action
If operation improved, keep the care and result record. If a symptom remains, select its matching troubleshooting task or contact Dyson with the observations.
Look for: The result describes the observation; a completed webpage does not certify a repaired appliance.

5. Keep your result
Record what you observed. A completed checklist does not certify that equipment is repaired.
When to check again
Bin, airway or brush care is complete and neither filter was washed during this maintenance session.
As needed for this condition. No fixed calendar interval is specified for this check; choose your own review date if useful.
