fantom problem

[mysterymanbob]

So, vacuuming under my bed with my fantom thunder, and soon I start to
smell dust in the air. the filter was removed (lost the cap in attic), so I thought nothing of it.
soon, my eyes began to burn, so I turned off the machine only to realize that dust was billowing from the exhaust.
I emptied the bin, then I fed it some dirt, but to no avail.
eventually, I ended up taking it apart and cleaning every part by hand, but that has'nt worked either.

If you know what's wrong please tell me
until something else comes up, thanks.

Seth.

You need the hepa or atleast some sort of filter. just having tje bin is usually not enough.

Hmmm.

maybe you're right, but it never shot out dust before...
I guess I will order a new cap.

That's why I don't like dry bagless vacs (regardless of the make, and I've never used a Wet bagless like a Rainbow), cos they take out the bag design, only to replace the bags with filter after filter after filter, not very efficient when you think about it... :&#92
