Dyson vacuum exhibiting unusual behavior, pulsing and emitting odd sounds during use is a problem shared by many. Here are six steps you can follow to troubleshoot and fix your Dyson vacuum when it behaves erratically:
First, clean the Floor Tool.
Start by checking your floor tool. Check for blockages after removing it from the vacuum. Remove hair, dirt, and debris that may be causing pulsation.
Check Accessories
Accessories for your Dyson vacuum may also clog. Remove and clean accessories to find any hidden obstacles.
Empty the bin
Full trash can cause pulsation. Empty and clean the bin of dust and dirt.
Clear the Bin Cyclone
The bin cyclone area can also get clogged. Clean the bin inlet, shake the cyclone over a waste bin, and brush its interior with a soft bristle brush.
Wand Check
Check the vacuum wand for blockages after vacuuming large items. Clear the wand.
Clean Filter
Clogged filters cause pulsation and poor performance. Replace the filter in the vacuum after washing it in cold water and drying it for 24 hours.
Keep in mind that warranty issues can arise when you try to solve problems with electronics yourself.
