Dyson Airwrap flashes light when it encounters a problem, and the color of the light indicates the actual problem with the device.

The red blinking light on the Dyson Airwrap indicates that the filter on the hot air multi-styler is dirty and you need to clean it up. However, it’s not the only issue behind the red blinking light.

Here, in this guide, we have provided you with complete steps that help you diagnose and fix the red light issues on the Dyson Airwrap multi-styler.

Decoding The Blinking Red Light: What Does It Mean?

The red or white blinking light on the Dyson Airwrap is an indicator that there is something wrong with the filter.

In most cases, the filter on the styler is dirty which causes this blinking light, indicating that you need to either clean the filter or replace it.

Apart from the filter issue, numerous other problems can cause the red blinking light problem. Below, we have compiled all the common causes of the blinking red light.

Common Causes Of The Blinking Red Light

Although the most common reason for the red blinking light on the Dyson Airwrap is the clogged air filter, there are other issues that can cause the red blinking light issue as well.

Below, we have provided you with a complete list of the issues that can cause the red/white blinking light.

Dirty Filter

The first reason for the blinking red light issue is the dirty filter. When the filter on your Airwrap becomes dirty, it will blink a light indicating that the air filter is not clean, and you need to clean the filter.

Over time, the dust filter on the hot air styler accumulates a lot of dirt, and thus, it is not able to process any effectively anymore. In such a case, it shows the red warning light. Simply, by removing and cleaning the dirt filter you can fix this issue.

Clogged Air Intake

When the airflow on the Dyson Airwrap styler gets blocked due to clogged air intake, it is prone to showing you this error.

Technically, this error is quite similar to the one in which the air does not pass due to a dirty filter. The same is the issue in the case of the blocked air intake, as the air does not pass through the system, ultimately causing the issue.

Overheating

When you have used the Airwrap multi-styler for an extended period, it can become overheated, and as a result, it blinks the red light.

Although this issue is not as common as the other two underlying reasons, it can still happen, and we have experienced it too, when the Dyson Airwrap is showing the red light error due to extended usage.
