Hi there Jacqueline, it's Jack at Dyson.

If your Dyson cordless vacuum is pulsing on and off with the filter in place, the filter may need a wash. I'd also strongly recommend checking the bin inlet, wand and motorised floor tool for any blockages, following the steps shown in our video guide:

When you check the bin inlet, make sure the bin inlet flap is able to open and close freely, and that no debris is jamming it in place.

I'm confident this will resolve the issue. If you'd like further assistance from our experts after giving this a try, please call the Dyson Customer Helpline on 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), 1-877-397-6622 (CA) or 1800 239 766 (AU). We'll be able to talk you through some simple diagnostic checks when you have your machine fully charged and easily to hand.

I have a wet/vac model 2010a 1..0 peak hp do i put the gray filter on to sick up water or to dry vac

The filter is only for dry use. When you are picking up water etc with it, don't use any filters. They get ruined.

How to get the filter out of the vac to replace

Push the tabs on each side of the canister at the same time and pull down on the bottom(black part). You will see a light blue filter paper that is held on with a black plastic ring that is pushed all the way towards the motor. Pull that ring off and the blue filter paper comes off. You can buy new ones at Wal Mart, but it's only necessary after it starts getting ragged. Just take it outside and shake it real good and put back on the same way it was on before.

Ridgid shop vac. use filter or not when vac. water

Just use the sponge filter, if wet dust goes through the blades, it will build up, throw it off balance and the vacuum blades will break loose from the shaft.

My canister machine kicks off immediately after starting and bag full light goes on but it has a new bag

hi from uk your problem with vac may be the gauze filter on the inside of the compartment that has bag this filter there to allow air from the micro pores of the bag to expel to the exterior of vac (room) whilst preventing dust from expelling too ? normally another symptom of this is the vac cover sometimes flips up ? however if air cannot expel from compartment it will cause overheat of motor resulting in auto cut off but will reset when cooled SO check the filter gauze and renew or wash clean? hope you understand above and hope this helps ?

The vac just goes red hot and switchs itself off no idea why. alyx pets 2000w is the model of the vac.

Its activated its thermal cut off. Check the filters - if the paper pleated cone filter is blocked throughly tap it gently to loosen dirt before washing it completely and drying it in a low temp tumble dryer (put it in a pillow case with a towel inside the pillowcase to stop it knocking off the sides in the dryer.) Also check the main dust channels behind the bin and also behind the beater bar as it may well be clogged. Then reinstall everything and check again.
