Sorry I no longer have the Fantom Fury but didn't it have a plastic cover that held the filter in? Maybe a piece of plastic is missing or broke. Try some duct tape, ha!

There is a cover that slides over the filter and holds it in place. It is part of the vacuum (does not come with the filter). Is your cover missing?

I find cover that slides over the filter resevoir is tricky to get in place, when I think it is secure it is not. Like the other answer the filter COVER slides on but i have to make sure that the slots are lined up and firmly press in order for it to lock in place when slid down.

I would try to disasemble the cover and impeller and reasemble make sure all parts are on correctly and make sure to prime.it correctly,DO NOT plug in the filter until all air is out of the system. Good luck!! Hope this helps!!

well if it sounds ok as a blower, but strange and rattly as a vac, I would check the filter for tears, if the motor sounds strange disconnected, I would try to blow air through it to knock off any dust or leaves that are stuck on the moving parts... if that doesn't work contact the manufacturer.

Hi Walt, I don't know! do you have the filter in place? You are sure it's smoke and not dust? does it smell like rubber burning?Please check the rubber belt and make sure it's not twisted or jammed. Does the smoke have an order, is it like electrical burning or rubber?

I simply detach my dust bag and attach my shop vac to that port and it seems to get a lot of the dust but not totally. I have only used y smaller shop vac not my big one but I'm sure it will pull in the dust

There are two filter that the tower uses. The first, is the Air Purifier Booster Filter and then there is the Hepa Filter. I've had mine for about 2 years and run it everynight, and so far, have only replaced the Hepa Filter only once. The Booster Filter does NOT need to be replaced! Yes, you heard it right! I Vacuum mine and good as new. Some previous post wrote that they washed it. I think that is a waist of time and too much mess. Get a good vacuum and hose it down. Hope this helps.

It sounds as if you need to clean the filter. This vacuum is sop powerful for such A small appliance. I need to clean the filter very well after each use. I also put this filter in the washing machine about once a month and it comes out looking like a new filter. So, try emptying the filter more often.

After moving the purifier several times while vacuuming, mine has also developed a louder whirring noise. It is obvious at all levels. Level one used to be very quiet, an almost unnoticeable hum, but now it sounds like the motor is grinding and working overtime. As it's been less than a year, maybe less than half a year, I am planning on speaking to the manufacturer about it.

Sounds like you have a strong motor for your sand filter, I put a 1 horsepower in to replace the 3/4 hp one which died on me and I find I have really push and pull the pole sometimes to move the vac head. I also try to lift up the edge approaching the debris so that it sucks it right up and then the other side does the brushing.....hope this helps....Geo

Hi! I recently experienced a similar problem! I had removed all the filters (there are three removable ones - two foam and one white paper), washed them all, cleaned everything off the beater bar/roller, shook out the tube/hose, even unscrewed the bottom and cleaned out whatever I could find there too! Still, as soon as I turned it on, it was going to red! Grrrrrr I FINALLY found the problem. You might have already checked this, but just in case, sharing it here. It might help you or someone else. When looking at back of the vacuum, on the right side, BEHIND the main tube/hose, you can see the tube attach to the black vacuum base which feeds into the clear body where the dirt goes in. I could not see any clogs anywhere. BUT - this part of the tube/hose COMES OFF - it is easy to overlook, but it twists and releases. I did that as a last resort, and found my problem! There was a piece of paper in there, and all kinds of dirt and hair (we all shed some and have two cats) were packed pretty solid behind the paper! It took a tool like a crochet hook to get it all out and unpacked! (I have a metal "tube turner" for sewing, which is what I used, but anything super thin and long can work, as long as you do not go THROUGH the hose.) I took an amazing amount of junk that had not come out when shaking the hose, cleaning things, even taking the rest of the vacuum apart... it hides in that last curve of the hose! I hope this helps someone else, because this is a great little powerhouse of the vacuum that is perfect for our little townhouse. But the clogging does happen sometimes, and I've now found the FIRST place I'll look, instead of the dead last! ;-)

Hi Paul, I have a black Fantom Fury Limited Edition 12.0 amps.... so my answer is YES ! This is the filter I buy for this particular vaccuum.

The hose on mine became so impacted with carpet fuzz that I had to cut a coat hanger and bend a small hook on one end use it to fish the debree out of the hose, but be careful, as a wire runs through there as well and I could easily see a novice "coat hanger fisherman" breaking the electrical wire that runs down to the head. If you need to open the head, there are four screws on the bottom. Before doing all that, make sure that the dust bin and filter are clear, there is one small passage in the bin that was also impacted, and I had to use a screw driver to dig it out. This is a very quite and efficient vacuum, but emptying the dust bin and cleaning the filter is very messy business. If I ever need a new vacuum, I think I shall go back to using bags. Good Luck: Mike

it's a good idea to buy the HEPA filter regardless of how you plan to use the vac. the upgraded filters are very easy to wash off so they last a long time.

According to the schematics for that machine there are two filters. The HEPA filter is 4.99. I can sell the both of them for 6.99. Please feel free to call me at 5713225005.

I only got to use mine 3 times before it went in the shop but I dont recall a sound like that. I did find out my noise is from a bad hepa filter and roller brush...neither of which were replaced before I got it or are covered under the warranty. I am really wondering now what gets replaced on these "reconditioned" units. Knowing that, you may want to have it checked out. Good luck :-D

Not sure of the correct answer to your question but I wash the one that I can and the other one i clean it by high-pressure air I replaced it because the one that I keep blowing out with air was to the point where it could not be cleaned any further so I replaced all four filters and hopes to keep my vacuum in better shape I have had the vacuum cleaner for over three years and this is the first time I replace the filters
