Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Power off and unplug, then wait for it to cool
- Who:
- you, no tools needed.
- How:
- switch the styler off, unplug it from the mains socket and wait for it to cool. Dyson asks for unplugging and cooling before the filter is cleaned, and it is the precondition for every other step on this page.
- Result that matters:
- an unplugged, cool device with the filter ready to come off.
- If the device is still hot:
- wait before touching the filter.
- If it is cool:
- go on to sliding the filter off along the cable.
- Evidence to keep:
- a photo of the filter LED flashing and a note of its colour, amber or white.

Remove and wash the filter as Dyson describes
- Who:
- you, with a bowl of water and a tap.
- How:
- take the filter off by sliding it down the power cord and opening it at the split line. Soak it in a bowl of water, wash the cage under a warm running tap, shake off the excess and leave it to dry completely.
- Result that matters:
- a clean, fully dry filter before it is put back.
- If a lot of dirt came out:
- repeat the wash until none is left.
- If the filter looked fine already:
- move on to checking how it is seated.
- Evidence to keep:
- a photo of the washed, dry filter next to the device.

Seat the filter until it clicks and watch the LED
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- open the filter cage at the split line and fit it back onto the device until it clicks. Then plug in and switch on to see whether the filter LED goes out or keeps flashing amber or white.
- Result that matters:
- a filter LED that no longer flashes after refitting.
- If the LED stops flashing:
- the filter was the reason; note the date for the next clean.
- If it still flashes amber with a clean filter:
- switch off and contact the Dyson Helpline.
- Evidence to keep:
- a short video of the filter LED after refitting, with its colour visible.

What it means

If the LED keeps flashing amber after the filter has been cleaned, the manual says to contact the Dyson Helpline. Different models may vary, and seeing this message never proves by itself that a part has failed.

Symptoms and causes
Probable causes · in order
- Filter carrying dust and hair product residueCommon
Per the manual, filter cleaning is overdue when the amber LED starts to flash, and the technology must be kept free from dust and hair product residue.
Evidence: Dyson Airwrap Co-anda2x multi-styler and dryer (HS09) - User manual
- Filter not seated until it clicksPossible
The manual ends the cleaning by opening the cage at the split line and fitting it to the device until it clicks, which is what rules out a loose filter.

Dyson foresees this case explicitly and points to its helpline, giving the user no further steps beyond the cleaning it describes.
