Replacement part for Dyson Light Ball (UP16) brush bar

The replacement part for an UP16 Dyson light ball brush bar is 968056-01. I have been waiting for the part to become available. Is there another brush bar that will fit, perhaps the brush bar for the UP13?[Moderation edit - title updated]

Not received a return label for faulty dyson vacuum cleaner accessories

I ordered dyson vacuum cleaner accessories online, which was under V15 but what I received is not compatible with V15. Now when I have to return this I see the return service is terrible. After registering return request, emailing, calling so many times, still haven’t received a return label. In the world of technology, for getting such an easy and static thing is a nightmare. The customer call line is taking hours, even after getting connected and getting assurance that they will send a return label, haven’t received it yet. Now I am so tired and regretting even buying the Dyson vacuum cleaner.

Swaps

Hi, Does anyone know if the is a swapping system/option? I bought a corded Dyson Big Ball couple of years ago and have only used it once. I have a bad back and the suction was far too strong for me to use the hoover. It has been sitting in ots box ever since. I have tried to sell it a few times on the usual selling sites but had no response. Any ideas? I didn't buy directly from Dyson and it was left in its box a good 6 months or so before even opening so didn't think I could return it to the supplier at that stage. Thanks

Cylinder Assembly Manual Available?

Aside from the standard 16-page user manual that comes with the vacuum cleaner upon purchase, has Dyson also have available a assembly manual for the cylinder of the CY23 Big Ball [moulded red] vacuum cleaner?I pulled apart the cylinder to clean every part, but upon reassembly the suction power is now nothing compared to what it was when purchased new last November. Since reassembly the bin’s red lever rod is now about 1cm away from the bottom hatch’s latch despite the hatch’s rubber o-ring seal properly reinserted.I phoned yesterday Dyson Australia Service Centre’s 1800 number but was met with a Philippino call centre customer service representative who said they’ll email me ove the next copuple of days but I don’t think I’ll receive word back from them, especially as my request was probably lost in translation.Can instead Dyson head office, whether they’re located in UK or whereever on planet Earth possibly directly provide me such an assembly manual?

Horriblle Dyson customer service. Never ever ever ever again!

Warning, be aware that the price you pay for the products that Dyson sells is not worth it. The products work fine until they don’t and Dyson says they had this great warranty..not true! What IS true is the products technically are covered under warranty, But in order to either get a part or a replacement machine, if a parts not available, takes weeks and weeks to complete, and with ENDLESS frustration and no answers. Iwas informed when my vacuum stopped working that I must return my defective machine to them and they must receive it and process it before they will ship me the replacement. I currently have a ball vacuum cleaner that stopped working. They said they would replace the new one. I had to pack up and return the old machine, that I no longer had the package for and I was not about to spend any more money buying boxes to ship this unit back. Finally, they told me that I could take it to a UPS store and they would pack it for me. The only problem is the nearest UPS store is 60

HELP. WORST SERVICE EVER

So returned my Dyson on 7th May as it stopped working. 8 phone calls later, endless promises and total confusion over my replacement- still no Dyson. I give up. Never again and furthermore will picket and plot to ensure a Dyson product is never again purchased by anyone I know. Beyond angry.

Is Dyson Animal still hard to push or pull?

We have had Dyson vacuums for over 25 years, and I almost bought a new one today. The problem is that the one I have will not push or pull easily, and I was told by Dyson that it was the fault of my carpet. Well, I still have the same carpet, and like some of the other online folks, the Dyson was the best for animal hair, but Dyson’s help was useless. Finally, out of utter frustration, I found a “fix” online, and have been able to use the vacuum by “breaking” something off. Dyson then told me I voided the warranty. Well, I am in the market for a new vacuum, and found the Dyson Animal on sale in Sam’s Club. I had it in my cart, and had second thoughts. If Dyson has not fixed the problem, I will be back where I was. As I said, Dyson was no help. I did not buy such an expensive vacuum not to be able to use it as an upright with a rotating brush. When I looked at this forum, I found others with the same problem. I experience it from the get go. Other than replacing carpet, or p

Getting a refund is like pulling teeth, that refuse to come out.

My mother owns a DC41 Animal ball vacuum cleaner. She noticed that the machine was depositing a lot of dust back onto her carpets. So she said that the hose had burst. I thought that she meant the accessory hose at the rear of the handle. So I went online and placed an order for said hose. But when I stripped the machine down, I noticed that it wasn’t the accessory hose, it was in stead the sliding hose that was riddled with huge tares.So I phoned Dyson UK and spoken with a guy whom had a Dutch accent, explained that I hadn’t used the accessory hose and could I get a prepared return label, via email. It came, I printed it off and took it to my local post office, and it was posted 15/04/2024 at 10.00, the royal mail collect parcels and letter at 17.00 every single evening. And I witnessed my parcel being loaded onto the collection vehicle. We couldn’t find a replacement sliding hose on the Dyson UK website, so I ordered a genuine Dyson part via Ebay UK for £9.99 and it arrived within 2

Dyson, Ball Animal 3 Upright Vacuum wont switch off from hose

Hi! I just got my Dyson, Ball Animal 3 Upright Vacuum yesterday and was very disappointed because instead of sucking up hair by the roller it just punched it around. Yes the roller is spinning and it will suck up tiny things but hairballs and dirt just get pushed around instead of vacuumed up. The hose is also constantly sucking. Even when it is clicked back into place and when the roller is on. The hose will keep sucking and will catch on my dress, hair, hand, etc. Because it is still on and the part where it gets put away is right on the handle. When I unlatch the vaccum from a standing position to the vacuuming position I can hear a suction sound and then a pop and then that's when the roller starts but the hose is also sucking again. Please help me fix this. I will return this vacuum otherwise and I'm very disappointed because my other Dyson worked so well for 15 years!

UP22 Light Ball not staying upright - magnet fix

Lightball UP22 not staying upright.Solution:Check that the two short duct hoses at bottom of cleaner are free and clear of debris. If these will not close or seal properly because of debris then the cleaner may not lock into upright position as magnetic assembly (see below) will not engage.If hoses clear, then check magnet assembly (a magnet and a separate metal plate) which, when brought together in the upright position, holds the cleaner in the upright position. I found that the magnet is held within a clasp and on my vacuum at least the magnet had come free of the clasp and was stuck magnetically to the opposing metal plate. As a result the magnetic grip was relatively poor, not helped by the full travel being reduced by the depth of the magnet about 5-10mm.To fix the loose magnet, place the magnet back between the clasp and squeeze the two arms of the clasp, at either end of the magnet, against the magnet using a pair of narrow-tipped pliers. Worked a treat.NB: The above fix requ

Please can someone help me name this part? It broke for some reason so I can use any of the head extensions. The red bit goes in the metal bar and acts as a clip. I don’t want to buy a new hoover just because of this plastic piece breaking. Thank you

DC40 not staying up when stored, need spare part

Location of locking arm (I have removed it)Broken Locking Arm When our DC40 kept falling sideways in the upright position, I dissembled the ball and found this broken part. The attached photo shows where the part should go. I am an industrial designer and I think it is unlikely to be repairable, so I’d like to find out if it’s available. Without it, the flexi hose gets over stressed and comes off its mounts. It says underneath:DYSON 11-6213 4AMany Thanks,Roy

DC11 Washable Filters

We had a topic about this already, but it’s been closed, even though we’re not really done talking about it.Because the only thing that is wrong with my unit is that you can’t get a filter for it. Period. You were perfectly happy to sell me any number of other attachments that are still available for my units. You would think that company like Dyson, who prides itself on its engineering, would continue to sell filters as long as there is demand for them. I have three units. And zero filters, which means I have zero functional units. As Dyson no longer sells these filters, I would be interested to know where I can get a filter medium that I can trim to fit the area required. It’s a simple rectangle. It doesn’t seem like it is some terrible engineering problem, certainly something that shouldn’t baffle whose designs an highly advanced vacuum cleaner. It’s a rectangular washable filter. That’s not rocket science.So you’re telling me that I have this perfectly functional, highly engineered

Dyson Ball Animal issues

Whille I love my Dyson Ball Animal for my wall-to-wall carpet, I find using the attachments so frustrating I want to throw the vacuum down the hill behind my house.My old dyson had an issue with the hose that connects to the attachments being too strung out and almost impossible to straighten and get put away. The new one? The hose is SO TIGHT that you can barely use the attachements. The two attachments I use are the flat brush for my wood floors and the small attachment that has two round brush heads on it for my rugs that are on the wood floor.First, the wand is too short to be useful for someone 5’7” tall. I have to hunch over to use this attachment. Second, since the tube is so tight and barely streches out, every time I do stretch it out the vaccuum comes charging into me and the bottom hook where the cord wraps smacks into my leg. I have bruises there from the hook slamming into me.I have spoken to support and they simply said hmmm. I love my Dyson for my wall to wall car
