6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Dyson Ball UP13, consult the following common troubleshooting tips:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Loss of Suction | Full dust bin, blocked airways, dirty filter. | Empty dust bin. Check hose, wand, and cleaner head for blockages. Clean or replace filter. |
| Vacuum Overheats / Shuts Off | Blockage, dirty filter, motor overload. | Unplug and allow to cool for 30-60 minutes. Check for and clear any blockages. Clean filter. |
| Brush Bar Not Spinning | Tangled debris, brush bar obstruction, belt issue. | Unplug and remove tangled hair/debris from brush bar. Check for obstructions in the cleaner head. |
