9178017863 Genuine Pre-Motor Filter for Beko Vacuum Cleaners, Beko Vacuum Motor Protection Filter

9178017863 is a genuine Beko pre-motor filter, the filter that sits between the dust container and the motor in a Beko vacuum cleaner. It catches the fine dust that gets past the bin or bag so it doesn't reach the motor. We don't have a model list on file for 9178017863, so check the number on the old filter or in your vacuum's manual before ordering.

Beko vacuum losing suction? Check the pre-motor filter

Every bit of air the vacuum pulls in passes through the pre-motor filter before it reaches the fan and motor. Over time the filter clogs with fine dust, which chokes the airflow. You'll notice weaker suction, a vacuum that runs hotter or louder than usual, a musty or burning smell, or a machine that cuts out to protect itself from overheating. A filter that is torn, misshapen or no longer seals in its housing lets dust straight through to the motor. Where the filter is washable, a rinse helps for a while, but filters still wear out.

Fitting the new filter

Switch the vacuum off and unplug it, or remove the battery on a cordless model. Empty the dust container, then lift out the old filter and tap any loose dust into the bin. Check the housing is clean and dry, seat the new filter so its edges seal all round, and refit the container before testing the suction.
