How to clean the Dyson Airwrap filter?

The Dyson Airwrap is a popular multi-functional hair styling device that uses heat to style hair without damaging it. Similar to a Dyson vacuum cleaner , regularly cleaning your Airwrap filter is important to ensure smooth operation and prevent overheating and complete shutdown. If you notice your Dyson Airwrap isn't working as well as it used to or is overheating, it may be time to clean the filter. Regularly cleaning your filter is vital to keeping your Airwrap in good condition and extending its lifespan.

Fortunately, cleaning the filter is a quick process that can be done in a few simple steps. In this guide, we'll explain everything you need to know about how to clean your Dyson Airwrap filter and what to do if you encounter any problems during the process.

1. Unplug the Dyson Airwrap.

Before doing anything, you need to turn off your Airwrap and unplug it. This is the first vital step in the process to help prevent any electric shock or malfunction during cleaning.

2. Thread the filter cleaning brush through the cable.

Take the filter cleaning brush and thread it through the Airwrap's cord all the way to the top of the device. Then carefully place it over the air filter.

3. Clean the air filter.

Thoroughly clean the air filter by gently rotating the bristles of a filter cleaning brush over it. While rotating the bristles, blow air through the filter and the area to remove any dust and debris that may be causing blockages. If you don't have a cleaning brush, you can use a microfiber cloth instead.

4. Remove and wash the filter cage.

To remove the filter cage, rotate it counterclockwise and slowly pull it downwards and away from the Airwrap. Rinse the filter cage under warm running water to remove dust and particles.

5. Wet the filter cage and let it dry.

Next, place the filter cage in warm soapy water for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, shake the filter cage to remove excess water and dirt, and leave it on a towel or dry surface to dry naturally. Make sure the filter cage is 100% dry, as any remaining moisture can damage the equipment.

6. Clean the exposed filter.

Now that the air filter is exposed, place the filter cleaning brush over the exposed air filter. Rotate the bristles around the area and blow away any dust and debris.

7. Reinstall the air filter unit.

Place the dry air filter cage back onto the cable and slide it over the air filter to secure it in place. Always ensure the filter is in place when using the Airwrap, as using it without the filter may damage the internal hardware, requiring Dyson to fix the problem. Do not force the part back into place, as this may damage the filter and the styling device.

Why is my Dyson Airwrap not working after cleaning the filter?

If your Dyson Airwrap won't turn on or work after cleaning the filter, there are a few things that could be causing the problem. These are the most common reasons why the styling tool might not work after cleaning the filter:

• Faulty power cable
• Broken electrical outlet
• Loose power cord
• Hardware damage
• Damaged engine
• Damaged power switch

No, it is not recommended to use the styling tool without a filter, as this may cause further damage. We recommend replacing the Airwrap filter if it breaks.
