Dyson upright wheeled vacuum
On this Dyson, you’re advised to clean the premotor filter after every six months, by passing it under warm water. The premotor filter always deteriorates after being washed, so we recommend for a replacement if the filter is particularly extra dirty. Other than cleaning the premotor filter, you’re also required to replace the post-motor filter, which is accessed by removing the canister plus the filter cover.
Dyson upright ball vacuum
The procedure of removing the filter on a Dyson ball vacuum clean is varied, but after you’re through with removing the canister from the vacuum cleaner, you’re required to turn on the ball models, recline the appliance onto its back, before you twist the central locking dial anticlockwise on the outer cover of the ball.
When you’re done releasing the cover, lift it off and move the filter anticlockwise to release.
Dyson cylinder vacuum
If you have a cylinder model, you need to remove the cyclone assembly so that you can access the washable long-life filters. Clean the filters after every three months.
All filters used on Dyson vacuum cleaners can be cleaned by running under cold tap water and let it dry for 24 hours.

Blockage in ducting
You need to check the ducting to confirm it’s not blocked or damaged by removing the valve pipe assembly.
After removing the valve pipe, check all the parts to ascertain no blockages especially on the U-bend.
Split into hoses or seals
If your Dyson vacuum cleaner has a split in horses or seals, it will experience a reduced suction. Such fault is brought about by pulling it too hard, overextending the hose while using it, and the remedy to it is to replace the seal or hose.
A fault with a belt or motor
If after you’ve checked the filters, ducting, seals and hose, your Dyson still shows poor suction capabilities, then the problem could be with the motor or the belt. You will have to replace them.
