Dyson Heaters are one of the best on the market, but if they start giving you an h2 error it’s time to take some steps to repair them.
If this is your first H2 error, don’t worry, it’s easy to fix.
What are the reasons for Dyson Heater Error H2?
As H2 is a common error code, it occurs in many appliances. Because of this, there are several different reasons that may cause you to see this code
It could be because of clogging filters or the fact that the heating element becomes dirty over time.
These can be caused by things like pet hair and dust collecting on top of the filters.
It can also sometimes be caused by the heating element becoming dirty, following a build-up of dust and flint.
If your Dyson heater is making a humming noise or not heating up, there may be something wrong with the fan motor. Luckily fixing this issue is easy and doesn’t require any tools.
With just a few simple steps, you can get back up to speed with using your Dyson heater in your home again.
To start, you’ll need the following items.
- A high PSI can of compressed air
- A T9 screwdriver
- Microfibre cloths
- A face mask, to protect your nose from the dust that will blow out.
How to clean filter on Dyson heater
Step 1 – For a start, unplug your Dyson from its power source and let your Dyson heater sit for 1-2 hours before cleaning.
Step 2 – Try wiping the outside of your Dyson heater and slowly clean the intake holes using a vacuum cleaner.
Step 2 – If that does not solve the H2 error, open the latch to remove the filter cartridge
Step 3 – Remove any visible obstructions blocking airflow (like pet hair) from filters. Then use a can of compressed air to clean both sides of the filter.
Step 4 – At the top of the device where the heated air blows out from, clean the debris accumulated around the heater coils.
Step 5 – Reassemble your Dyson heater and plug it back in to a power source.

How to reset a Dyson heater?
This is a quick and easy fix for your machine. All you have to do is turn the power off (using either the on/off button), wait 60 seconds then turn back again.
Plugging in will help to resume normal functioning. If this does not work then you need to reset your machine.
Turn the power off for 60 seconds, then turn it on again to try using your device again.
Why does a Dyson heater turn itself off?
Dyson heaters have a built-in thermostat that you can set to. The heater will then automatically switch itself off once the room reaches your desired temperature.
If it detects any temperatures below what is optimal for cooling, then this clever device will automatically come back on.
Dyson fan heaters also have a safety feature that allows the heater to switch off after 9 hours of continuous use.
The Dyson heater has a built-in timer which can be adjusted from 1 hour, 3 hours or 5 hours.
This is especially useful if you plan on having the device switched on for an extended period of time.
What to do when your Dyson stops working?
It’s not uncommon for Dyson heaters to overheat and cut out if they’ve been in use for a long time.
If your machine loses power, just leave it be for half an hour before try switching it on again.
Dyson fan heaters are designed to protect themselves from overheating, which means they’ll automatically shut off if it has been working for an extended period of time.
How to fix a Dyson fan not oscillating?
If your Dyson fan isn’t oscillating back and forth then there are some primary checks you can attempt.
Step 1 – Plug the fan in and switch it on at the wall.
Step 2 – Check to remove any obstruction from where the heater is positioned.
Step 3 – Press the on/off button to start your Dyson fan. Watch for a green LED light illuminate near the power button.
Step 4 – Try adjusting the airflow of your fan using the airflow control button to see what effect it has.
Step 5 – Try using the oscillation button now to see if the fan begins turning.
If your machine is still not oscillating then you will need to carry out a further inspection to determine what the issue may be.
Note – If you don’t have the remote control to the hand, you will not be able to operate the oscillation function. As it cannot be operated without the remote control.
Why does your Dyson heater smell?
If your Dyson is giving off a really burning smell then usually this is caused by a buildup of dust on the heating element or a motor failure.
The procedure for cleaning the heating coil in your Dyson heater (described above) will help solve this problem.
If the issue is a motor failure, then a major strip down to replace the motor will be required.
Some easy checks you can do before that are described below.
- Check the machine for any obvious irregularities.
- Unplug your Dyson heater from the mains electricity supply before cleaning.
- Look for blockages in the air inlet holes on the shroud and the dome.
- Use a soft brush and a microfibre cloth to remove and wipe away dust and debris.
- Avoid using any detergents or cleaning sprays to clean the machine.
