Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my Dyson purifier show error F9?
Error F9 means the purifier failed to pair with the Dyson Link app. This is usually due to connection issues like Bluetooth/Wi-Fi problems or outdated app/firmware.
Can I use my Dyson purifier without the app?
Yes, the purifier works independently without the app. You can control it manually via the remote or buttons. Error F9 only affects app pairing.
Does Dyson air purifier work on 5GHz Wi-Fi?
No, Dyson air purifiers only support 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. If your router broadcasts both bands, ensure your phone is connected to the 2.4GHz network during pairing.
How do I factory reset my Dyson air purifier?
To factory reset, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds until the countdown appears. Release and wait for the purifier to restart. This resets Wi-Fi settings and clears paired devices.
Why won't my Dyson Link app find my purifier?
Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone, the purifier is in pairing mode (Wi-Fi light blinking), and your phone is near the purifier. Also, close and reopen the app or restart your phone.
