Filter Maintenance

The Dyson Ball Animal 3 features washable filters. Refer to your full user manual for specific instructions on how to remove, wash, and dry the filters. Regular cleaning of the filters is essential to maintain optimal suction performance and air filtration.

De-tangling Brush Bar

The de-tangling technology is designed to prevent hair wrap. Periodically check the brush bar for any stubborn debris or hair that may have accumulated and remove it manually if necessary to ensure continued effective cleaning.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Loss of Suction

• Check if the dust bin is full and empty it.
• Ensure the filters are clean and properly installed. Wash and dry them if needed.
• Inspect the cleaner head, wand, and hose for any blockages and clear them.

Hair Wrapping Around Brush Bar

• While the de-tangling technology is highly effective, occasionally long hair may accumulate. Manually remove any wrapped hair from the brush bar.

Vacuum Not Turning On

• Verify the power cord is securely plugged into both the vacuum and a working electrical outlet.
• Check your household's circuit breaker if the outlet is not providing power.
