Same Problem

Mar 08, 2009

-   I changed the bag a few times. My fiancee doesn't watch the lights but I definitely do. Now it seems that my 'guiding light' is stuck. I'm just looking for a way to reset it. -   Guest

-   Have had machine since July 2007, so after 1.5 years my dirt sensor won't go off either. This makes vacuuming that much more "work" as the unit is heavier when it is working harder. Gosh yeah plz, is there a simple solution for this? -   Bobo3497

There is an optical sensor inside the port where you attach your vacuum bag. Take the bag off and take a clean soft cloth and wipe inside the port to remove dirt from the sensor. Don't wet it! Do this every time you change your bag and you shouldn't have a problem.
