The S-bag® indicator light is illuminated

Issue

  • The S-bag indicator light is illuminated
  • Suction power is reduced, do I need to change the bag?
  • When to change the bag?
  • The "S-bag" indicator is lit in white when vacuum cleaner operates
  • The S-bag indicator turns red
  • Immediately after switching on the appliance, the white S-bag indicator light comes on, even though the bag is new and clean

Applies to

  • Vacuum Canister Bagged Models

Solution

Please note that in some models the indicator can illuminate in two colours:

  • White / green (or inactive - model depending) - the vacuum cleaner is operating normally and no bag change is needed.
  • Red - the bag is full and needs to be replaced.

After replacing the bag, the lamp lights up red for about 5 seconds and then continues to light up in white.
