I haven`t had any problems with the filter popping off. I suggest you call Dyson customer service with your problem. I`m sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I've never had a problem with the filters popping off. That's really not much of an answer, but it's the only one I've got!

Randy, the same thing happened to me last year. It ended up being that the little nipple which the filter depresses against when screwed on had somehow chipped off. I ended up having to replace the entire filter assembly (which was quite easy to do).

Mike: silly question, but did you give the filter an extra push, plus push in the top rubber gasket some more to expose the thread? If this fails then the filter is too long. In that case I would be making an extended threaded mounting post. Or a special nut with a reduced diameter that will go inside the filter and catch the thread. My 10 gallon Craftsman has a 7/16 NC thread. I have the capability at home to manufacture these fixes, but if you do not I am at a loss for other solutions. Hoe about a recessed cup with a flange, then cut a bigger hole in the filter rubber and use a 7/16 nut inside the cup.

I don't know if this helps, but , did you put the filter cup in properly? The only way I know for it to get stuck is if the handle of the filter cup and the orientation of the cup is wrong....I'm afraid that the only way to get it out is to pull until something gives.......wish I could help more

The mounting plate has a flat on one portion of the round plate which allows proper fit to the main housing. I found that if I mounted it properly the wire with the plug was NOT long enough to reach the outlet. I concluded that the motor was mounted to the mounting plate turned around 180º. I left it that way but had to extend the wire by splicing a short (appx 6") extension on to the wire from the motor. Other than that all works OK and it sure beats replacing the whole thing.

Use Google to find the part. Below is a link, I recently replace the ring on my 205 and its water tight again.Fluval Motor Seal Ring for External Filter

My center post broke, got a replacement, it broke....http://www.ereplacementparts.com/disc-stem-p-707798.html. I threw the whole thing away. I'll get something different.

Take the bottom plate off with a quarter and look at the belt. If it is broke save it and go to a vacuum repair center with the belt, or call dyson and they will ship you a new one. I just did this as mine just broke 2 weeks ago. Easy fix DIY save $$$

You hold the rod above the filter securely, then turn filter counter clockwise. ( viewing it from bottom) it should thread out.

There is a filter that surrounds the motor so that it cannot suck in any debris. here is a link to the filter that is sold on Amazon:http://www.amazon.com/Brand-RADIO-SYSTEMS-CORP-SAFE/dp/B009OVUHW2/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid;=1378941395&sr;=8-9&keywords;=filter+for+petsafe

I have the same exact problem. Trade Station suggests replacing the motor and if that doesn't work replace the diverted.

Interesting. My filter unscrews quite easily. Perhaps give it a better tug. Good luck.

The plunger post screws into the filter assembly. Just hold the base filter assembly still and unscrew the post by twisting the knob on top.

What I did was vacuum the actual blue filter thoroughly as it really didn't look very dirty even though I got a "change filter" message. Then I washed the plastic grid piece it fits into thoroughly and let it dry. I reassembled it and still got a change filter message. However, I discovered there is a tiny "reset filter" hole near the top of the inside of the unit where you place the filter. I stuck a paperclip in the hole and pushed, and now it's behaving as if it has a brand new filter! I think maybe if this is done on a regular basis that you can get a lot more use out of this unit, even though the filters are "no longer available."

Yes, My technician told me that the Register Vent Filters strain the motor causing early failure of the motor and having the Register Vent Filters in place at motor replacement will void the warranty. I use them for obvious reasons and to prevent small objects from falling into the vents also. Not sure what I will do in this case since they help so much!

I recently washed the post filter and the samething happened. The suggestion regarding blowing out the filter with an air compressor worked perfectly. Its been a month now and the filter stays in place. I believe the washing of the filter (even when the directions are followed) caused the dust/dirt to harden over the pores so the positive pressure just blows out the filter. If you don't have a air compressor, try those computer dust cleaner or wash the filter more aggressively than what the dyson instructions suggest.

I don't think it is the filter, try to remove the filter and put on the machine to see if it changes............usually loud noise is a sign of motor replacement or maybe something happened to the fangood luck.
