A perished or missing filter seal is the quiet way a good HEPA filter stops working. This is the HEPA filter seal set for the Dyson DC07 and DC14 uprights, supplied as two pieces. The seals are the foam gaskets that close the gap between the post-motor HEPA filter and its housing, so exhaust air is forced through the filter media instead of slipping past its edge.
They are easy to overlook during a filter change, and they are the reason a machine can smell or shed dust straight after a new HEPA filter has been fitted. Renewing the seal at the same time as the filter is the cheap way to make sure the new filter is actually doing the work.
Use cases
- Fitting a new post-motor HEPA filter to a DC07 or DC14 and sealing it properly
- Households where the exhaust still smells after a fresh filter went in
- Allergy and asthma households relying on the post-motor filtration stage
- Refurbishing an older DC07 or DC14 where the original foam has perished
- Service technicians keeping a set on hand for Dyson upright repairs

Fits
Dyson DC07 and DC14 upright vacuum cleaners. Confirm fitment against your machine's model number before ordering.
Two different Dyson part numbers are asserted for this seal across the trade, with no source reconciling them, so we do not publish an OEM number for it.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the seal matter if the filter is new?
Air takes the easiest path. If the gasket is missing or perished, some of the exhaust slips around the edge of the filter rather than through the media, so a new HEPA filter cannot deliver what it is rated for.
How many seals are in a set?
Two pieces, supplied as pre-cut semicircle foam strips with a self-adhesive backing.
Does this fit both the DC07 and DC14?
Yes, the set is listed for both the Dyson DC07 and DC14 uprights. Confirm against your machine's model number before ordering.
Do I need adhesive to fit it?
No. The strips carry their own self-adhesive backing. Clean the seat first so the foam bonds to a dust-free surface.
