[LG All-in-One Tower] Can there be worms(grain mites)?

Troubleshooting Vacuum Cleaners 20/08/2025

<div class="content-service-view">
<p class="info-desc">Grain mites are caused by larvae or adult mites entered during cleaning, so they are commonly
found in other vacuum cleaners as well.</p>

<h2 class="tit">Causes and Symptoms</h2>
<p>
Grain mites do not live in a vacuum. They enter the All-in-One Tower dust bag from grains, plants, or
bedding.<br>
If you don't empty the dust bag for a long time, they will naturally come out of the vacuum cleaner.<br>
Grain mites are common in the summer when temperatures and humidity are high.
</p>

<h2 class="tit">Try this</h2>
<p class="txt-idt">1. To prevent grain mites from spreading, leave the All-in-One Tower in the balcony or at the
front door during cleaning.</p><p class="txt-idt">2. Before collecting grain mites in the dust bag from the inside of the All-in-One Tower, start
"Empty Dust" three times and remove the dust bin and discard it.</p><p class="txt-idt">3. After separating the motor safety filter and the exhaust filter, wash and dry them for more
than a day.</p><br>
<p><strong>How to clean the motor safety filter and the exhaust filter</strong></p><p class="txt-idt">
① Open both doors and the dust bag door.<br>
There are two types of filters: Motor safety filter and exhaust filter.</p><p class="txt-idt">② Grab the bottom of the unit and take out the motor safety filter.</p><p class="txt-idt">③ To remove the exhaust filter at the bottom of the unit, hold the handle and pull it out.</p><p class="txt-idt">④ Shake the dust off the filter and wash it with water about once every three months if the dust
emptying performance has weakened.</p><p class="txt-idt">⑤ If you've cleaned it with water, let it dry completely in a shaded place before using it.</p>

<p class="txt-idt">
4. Clean the exterior and interior of the All-in-One Tower with a wet tissue at least once a day for 4 days to
help spread and kill grain mites.<br>
If you still see them after 4 days, repeat the cleaning process with a wet tissue for 2 days.
</p><p class="txt-idt">5. If there are no grain mites, then replace the dust bag with a new one and install the motor
safety filter and exhaust filter after drying them.</p><br>
<p><strong>How to replace the dust bag</strong></p><p class="txt-idt">① Open both doors and the dust bag door.</p><p class="txt-idt">
② Press the dust bin cover release button to open the dust bin cover and empty the dust bin.<br>
When the dust bag is pulled down, the dust bag opening is closed so dust won't be spilled out.
</p><p class="txt-idt">③ Reinsert a new dust bag and push it upward until you hear a clicking sound.</p>

Grain mites are caused by larvae or adult mites entered during cleaning, so they are commonly found in other
vacuum cleaners as well.<br>
Grain mites are not commonly found in general vacuum cleaners because you tend to empty the dust bin
regularly.<br>
However, for the All-in-One Tower, if you don't empty the dust bin regularly (recommended to empty it every 4
months), you may find grain mites in the dust bin.<br>
To prevent them, you are recommended to replace the dust bag every 1 to 2 months.<br>
If the problem persists, please have it checked by a service technician.
