Machine is working normally

This is completely normal.

The machine will run very slowly when in idle mode to keep air flowing over the thermostat so it can constantly regulate the temperature of the air.

There is no safety concern.

If the noise is intrusive, switching the machine off at the wall will stop the noise, or altering the position of the product in the room might make the noise less audible.

If pressed, it should be stated that the noise is caused by some of the electrical components emitting a frequency which can sometimes be heard as an electrical humming noise. This is not specific to Dyson products.

Check that your machine has been connected

If you have previously connected your machine to the Dyson Link app, you should be able to see it on the app home screen. If you have multiple machines connected, you can switch between them using the burger menu in the top left of the home screen.

Try moving the device and purifier closer to the router. If the Wi-Fi signal is poor your machine's connection may not be stable.

Some app features may not be available if your machine requires a software update.

Please ensure auto-update is turned on. You can do this by going to your machine’s settings.

This will make sure you automatically receive the latest features and your app functions correctly.

It can take up to 24 hours for your machine to receive updates after it is enabled.

Please ensure that auto-update is turned on. You can do this by going to your machine’s settings icon.

This will make sure you automatically receive the latest features and your app functions correctly.
