Dyson won't stand up because the wheels don't drop down - Any suggestions?

The Axlestand spring maybe?

Hi James,

I’ve found a clear plastic “cog” that sits on the side of the ball - it had broken. I’ve glued it but I know it won’t last 5 minutes so have been trying to find the replacement part. Do you have an exploded parts diagram for the ball area?

Thanks

Andy

This is the part I need - can't see it on the parts list. 

Seems a very delicate part and likely to break as the plastic ages.

The part might not be sold separately. Smaller components are usually part of assembly’s. 

This is the Yok Service Assy - note the white plastic on the left. 

I’m starting to wonder if I should cast a metal one to replace it. I’ve seen ones for a DC40 online - ranging in price from £2.50 - upwards but I’ve asked and apparently, although they look the same they are not.

May I ask - where are you getting the diagrams?

Thanks

Andy

Online. Search Google for Dyson Schematics. Various sites have these uploaded, I just trawl until I find the one I’m after.
