My vacuum started spitting out dirt from the front onto the floor. Any help is appreciated. Thank You
First, make sure there isn’t a clog in the vacuum. There are three places where clogs are most often found: behind the brush roller, the hose, and the dust cup air duct. Also, you might need to clean the HEPA filter. If the filter is dirty it could prevent the vacuum from blowing out any air which could be the reason the vacuum is blowing out dirt. The steps to check for clogs can be found in the troubleshooting guide and the HEPA Filter replacement guide.
I am experiencing the same problem so I decided to take it all apart. Found that when their is a clog the dirt gets pushed past the filter and into the motor “FAN”assembly. Every time I turned it on it blew dust. After I cleaned out the motor/fan and rinsed the filter problem when away. My recommendation is to run it outside until no more dust, clean the filter or replace and keep maintaining it after every use correcting clogs as they occur. No simple answer use, clean, store.
It turned out my filter was clogged on the inside (inside the compartment where the debris collects, right in the middle of the vent passageway). I had already cleaned out the compartment but turns out inside it was still blocked in the air passageway. I carefully cleaned it out and poof! the vacuum cleaner started working beautifully again. It’s always a good idea to take it apart and look for clogs anywhere.
