On a DC07 you have a washable two part filter in the top compartment of the dust bin. It should be washed and dried frequently. Push the tab on the dust bin to lift the top yo get to the filter. Remove the dust bin from the vacuum and there is a cover over over the exhaust filter. Pry 3 little plastic tabs off to allow the cover to come off to get the filter out. Replace both filters at least every year or two.
It you have the ball. Look on the side and you will see two small cut outs. Just screw it off and you will see the filter also there one on top of the The trash Collector. If you have the older model. Remove the trash collector and pop up the flat base under it. Wash the filters with warm water and let dry for 24 hours.
