Dirt blowing out of front of vacuum

First of all there are no propellers in any dirt cup of a vacuum cleaner. Some of them use a cyclonic action to keep the dirt in a ball shape for easy empty purposes. As the cup fills, it’s less likely to spin. Regardless, the spinning action has little to do with suction power. Clean the squirrel cage fins and filter would help.

Sometimes the belt on a vacuum cleaner eventually cracks or splits, causing the vacuum to lose suction, which can cause dirt to blow back out of the unit during use. To investigate, disconnect power and lower the cleaner head, then turn the vacuum cleaner over and remove the belt cover on the cleaning head._picking_up

Hi Margi Neary...
Sounds like your bag in the vacuum is either full or has a split in it.
Check/replace your bag inside of the vacuum and that should solve your problem with the dirt blowing out.

Look for a place where the vacuum line has to turn in a near 90 degree turn. It's easy for it to get stopped up there.

If dirt and dust are blowing out anywhere that they shouldn't be, it's a sure sign that something's plugged farther on up the line. You'll need to disassemble the unit and clear the clog before anything will go through to the dirt cup. Also, as long as you're going to be taking it apart, check all the filters. This is a notoriously neglected part of bagless vacuums, and a very large part of why they start to lose the initial level of vacuum power. Clean the ones you can clean, replace the ones you can't. Walmart and Meijer's are a couple of places where you might find replacements.

Dust blows out of the filter vent is usually caused by a plugged filter drop the filter door on the back, replace or for a temporary fix blow out the filter

Yes. For the unit to be able to take air in from use it has to exhaust air. This is normal.

Hello,
This usually means you have a blockage between the roller brush and the bag in the machine. You won't have any suction to pull dirt into the bag. The dirt will fall back onto the roller brush and out the front of the machine.

I hope this helps

Perhaps its a wheel drop sensor instead of a cliff sensor. Clean the caster, caster axle, caster motion sensor, remove and vacuum or blow the dirt from the left and right wheel assemblies.

Blow out the front, dome area with compressed air. All around the little white wheel and the bump sensor in the front of it with air.

Will fix it.
