Our cordless vacuum filters are engineered to capture microscopic particles. Over time, these can build up in the filter and reduce performance. By washing the filter once a month you can help maintain suction power and prevent the machine from pulsating.

This indicates the filter needs washing.

Please follow the steps in the video.

Find the text version of the step-by-step guide instead, under "Has this resolved the problem?".

Leave the filter unit to dry completely in a dry environment with good airflow, for a minimum of 24 hours. Ensuring it is completely dry before refitting.

Has the machine been fully charged to 100%?

The Dyson V11™ battery and monitoring system work together to gauge how much run time is remaining. The system calculates run time using an algorithm that ‘learns’ how your machine works over time. To get the best experience, we recommend fully charging your machine after every use. This helps the battery and monitoring system's algorithm to more accurately calculate and display remaining run time.

The actual run time of your machine remains unaffected while the algorithm learns to more accurately gauge remaining power.

The battery is designed to be left on charge permanently, and this will ensure that the machine is fully charged when it's next used. It will take up to 4.5 hours to fully charge your machine. Once the battery is fully charged, your machine won't use any more electricity.

Has this resolved the problem?

If your machine continues to cut out even though run time remains on the screen, we recommend fully charging your machine, then using it continuously until the battery runs out. This should be completed within one cleaning session, but the trigger doesn't need to be held down throughout. We advise using Auto/Med mode for this clean. The more this process is repeated, the more accurate the algorithm becomes.

Damp or musty

A damp or musty smell is caused when dust in the cyclone has come into contact with water.

It may not be a direct contact with water, for example when vacuuming pet hair that is slightly damp, this moisture will combine with the dust in the cyclone causing the smell.

Additionally the smell may occur if the filter goes back into the machine wet.

Only the filter and the two washable brush bars from the soft roller cleaner head can be washed. The bin can be cleaned with a damp cloth only, and both must be completely dry before being re-fitted to the machine.

Has any part of the machine been washed?

Were all the washed parts completely dry before the machine was used?

We need a little more information to help us solve your issue.

Damp or musty smell still present

Under normal use, any unpleasant smell can only be caused by something the machine has picked up. Please select pick up issues to carry out checks.

If you are able to identify which part of the machine the smell is coming from, replacing this part may resolve the issue.

Remove the bin

Hold the machine with the bin in a downwards position. Firmly push the red bin release button. The bin will slide down opening the bin base.

Troubleshooting image

Press the red button located on the bin runner to release the bin and slide the bin off the runner.

Troubleshooting image

Gently tap the side of the cyclone over a bin. This will remove any fine dust clogged up in the cyclone. Using the Combination tool, clean the shroud to remove any debris around the cyclone.

Check the opening on the cyclone shroud for any blockages. Remove as necessary.

Troubleshooting image

The clear bin is not dishwasher safe and the use of detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean the clear bin is not recommended as this may damage your machine. Clean the clear bin with a damp cloth only.

To refit the clear bin

Troubleshooting image

Wash the foam element of the filter unit next; hold the filter unit under a cold water tap with the foam element downwards so that dirty water does not contaminate the pleated paper element. Run cold water over the inside and outside of the foam element and squeeze the foam gently to expel the dirt. Continue washing until the water runs clear.

Troubleshooting image

Wash the outside of the filter unit. Then fill the unit with cold water, place your hands over the open ends and shake gently. Repeat washing the elements and outside of the filter unit until the water runs clear.

Troubleshooting image
