Why does my Vacmaster VK1620SWC have low suction power and high operating noise?
- A
  Alexander BrownAug 6, 2025
  Low suction power and high operating noise in your Vacmaster Vacuum Cleaner can be caused by several factors. The dust bag might be full, so try replacing it. Also, the suction nozzle, hose, or tank inlet could be blocked; check these for any obstructions. The cartridge filter might be blocked, in which case you should remove and clean it. Finally, the float valve may have closed; empty any liquid waste from the container and make sure the float valve underneath the filter can move freely.

  If your Vacmaster Vacuum Cleaner isn't working, first check the power supply and fuse. If those are fine, there may be a functional fault in the power cord, switch, or motor. In this case, have the damaged part checked by qualified personnel or contact the after sales helpline.

Why is dust escaping from the motor cover of my Vacmaster Vacuum Cleaner?
- M
  Michael DiazAug 20, 2025
  Dust escaping from the motor cover of your Vacmaster Vacuum Cleaner could be due to a missing or damaged cartridge filter; install or replace it. It could also be caused by misuse of the cartridge filter when wet vacuuming, so replace the damaged cartridge filter with a new one when dry vacuuming. Another reason may be misuse of the foam filter when dry vacuuming; replace the foam filter with the cartridge filter.
