    • Then remove the final 18mm screw in the center. Once these have all been unscrewed, remove the filter with the cover. The filter and the cover should be attached to each other.

    Edit

    There are two screws to remove at this step; both of them are in the center of the filter, as shown in the photo. You can see the hole that has the second screw in it right above the red circle in the photo.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. The Dyson has two filters, so if the problem has not been resolved, you may have to repeat this process on the other side.

Can this filter be washed?

No it's not a washable filter and is supposed to last the life of the machine - hmm… still going to get clogged with fine dust though so yif contact Dyson! They don't last and the increased clogging can reduce the life of the motor.

I’ve bought a second hand dyson big ball cleaner. It’s stinks of dogs. How can I take it apart and clean it?
