This would suggest there is something caught within the machine.
Which floor tool are you using?
On the side of the Direct drive cleaner head, locate the end cap. Using a coin, turn the end cap anticlockwise a quarter of the way to remove it.
Note: There should be a small padlock icon along with directional arrows to help you unlock the end cap.
Remove the Brush bar from the Cleaner head and clear away any hair or fibers.
Check the neck of the Cleaner head (where the Cleaner head connects to the Wand) for any blockages. Ensure there is no build up of dust or debris in the small crevice between where the Brush bar sits and the neck of the Cleaner head.
With the Brush bar clear from any debris, refit the Brush bar back into the cleaner head and securely fasten the end cap.
Place the Cleaner head onto the Wand and test the machine.

What sort of smell?
A damp or musty smell is caused when dust in the cyclone has come into contact with water.
It may not be a direct contact with water, for example when vacuuming pet hair that is slightly damp, this moisture will combine with the dust in the cyclone causing the smell.
Additionally the smell may occur if the filter goes back into the machine wet.
Please select the appropriate option
Push the red button by the clear bin to open the bin base.
Press a second time to release the clear bin from the Main body of the machine.
Remove the bin carefully.
Clean the clear bin with a damp cloth only. Avoid contact with the electrical contacts located in the nozzle of the bin along with the back of the bin.
Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean the clear bin.
Do not put the clear bin in a dishwasher.
Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.
To replace the bin, push the bin up and in to the Main body of the machine, It will click into place.
Close the bin base so it clicks into place and is secure.
Washing the filter can also help to remove the smell.
Please select the appropriate option
WARNING: Do not put the filter in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven, microwave, or near a naked flame.
Remove the filter from the machine.
Prior to washing the filter, tap it on a hard surface to remove any debris inside.
Soak and massage the filter in cold water, repeating this process until the water is clear.
Squeeze and twist with both hands to make sure the excess water is removed.
Lay the filter on its side to dry for at least 24 hours.
Note: The filter may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust or if used mainly in ‘Powerful suction’ mode.
Some variants may have a washable post-filter.
If it does, run the water into the open side of the post-filter, then tap and shake the filter to expel all debris.
Repeat the process until the water runs clear.
Under normal use, any unpleasant smell can only be caused by something the machine has picked up. Please select pick up issues to carry out checks.
If you are able to locate the smell to a part of the machine, replacing the part may help eliminate the smell. For this, please select Part broken.
