Vacuum returned with suction issue - What are my options?

I've had my Dyson corded vacuum returned after being collected and repaired.My machine has been returned as tested for suction etc. The main head all works fine but there is very poor suction through the wand, it was very good previously as it powered the power head used to remove dog hair. This head now barely turns when you use it on cushion covers with any pressure put upon it .Also if you put your hand over the wand the pressure is way down. I'd go as far as to say this isn't my machine but the serial no does match so it must be. Please advise what to do next?ThanksJT

DC40 broken internal flip hoseMy DC40

My DC40 Vacuum is broken after 7 happy years. It is a seemingly small fault. The internal flip hose - a small hose near the base of the vacuum - has badly split and needs replacement. Replacing hoses is usually simple on Dyson, but not so here. The Youtube is highly complicated. I took it to a repair shop - not Dyson as none near me (DC) - and they were familiar with Dyson repairs. It is only a small tube. They explained that it is highly complicated taking more than 5 times longer than even major repairs to do and not worth the $130 they would charge. They recommended buying a new one. The YouTube video bore it out. I buy Dyson for their longevity. Am really put off replacing with another. Anyone else have this experience or suggestions?It is part 922625-03: a cheap part; it is the labor that is costly.

dyson CY23 cyclone part - Anyone know where I can order a Cyclone?

I am looking for this part everywhere and it seems to only be in stock in UK and I am in USA. I really do not want to take this apart. I feel like it’s an all day job and would rather by a replacement cyclone part. Part 967551-01. The fact I can’t get this part sucks because it leaves me with buying a new vacuum from another company. I have animals and the stick vacuums are not versatile enough.(Moderation Edit - Tags Added/Title Updated)

Dyson Small Ball Allergy - Leaving carpet lines - HELP!

Hi, since yesterday when I hoover my carpets, my vacuum cleaner is leaving tramlines on my carpet, created by the ball part dragging across the carpet as you push the vacuum forward. When it is pulled backwards it's OK. This started yesterday. My first carpet was OK, I then moved to a hard floor and adjusted the brush bar as required, then moved back to another carpeted area which is when the tramlines started to appear and the hoover felt a bit different in that you could feel the ball part dragging through the carpet. It's exactly the same carpet throughout the house so was fine just minutes before. I've cleaned all the filters, not that I thought it would make a difference and it didn't. Has anyone got any solutions as to why this is happening? The brushes rotate and deactivate when required. I've contacted Dyson via WhatsApp and sent a video showing the tramlines but the lady just replied saying what damage is it doing to your carpet. It's making tramlines! It didn't previously. I

V6 motorhead stuck, wont spin

Hi All,I have a V6 stick with a motorhead. I pulled the motorhead apart and gave everything a bit of a clean with some water.Now that i’ve reassembled, the brush gets stuck when trying to spin. The pin behind the brush spins so i assume the electrics are good. But the brush is tight and won’s spin. I’ve even lubricated the bottom end of the brush with no luck.Any advice or an I shelling out $125 to buy another one?Thanks.

Dyson Cylinder vaccum - Need a replacement part: 917260-01 (Wand)

Hi,I saw that this part is out of stock, so I called Dyson and the service representative said that part 967365-01 is compatible. He then told me that there might be back stock available. I was told that I had to register my machine in order to be notified when the part is in stock and he proceeded to register my machine over the phone. He assured me that after talking with a supervisor, he would email me a summary of our conversation. I tried to log into MyDyson, but I found that I was not registered. I registered my vacuum. I did not receive an email from Dyson, but the service rep gave me an email address “questions@dyson.com” I emailed my query about the parts, but I have received no response. I found part 967365-01 at an overseas seller and inquired about its compatibility with CY18. He responded that it is not compatible. I am confused and a bit frustrated because I don’t know if the parts are compatible I can’t use my machine without part 917260-01. Where might I find help for t

Dyson upright vacuum - Animal3 - Poor suction

I am truly disappointed in the Animal 3. I had the original many years ago and absolutely LOVED it. What is the point if it consistently clogs up with dog hair? We are frequently taking it apart to unclog it. With in 10/15 mins of vacuuming I stopped it to move furniture and it wouldn’t turn back on! apparently it is getting too hot to use after a certain amount of time! For the amount of money we spent on this, its no better then a $150 vacuum we bought before this one. I just don’t understand.

Dyson Stowaway - Trouble removing the brush

Dyson Stowaway, the vacuum head is on the end of the vacuum hose. Not obvious how to remove and replace the brush. Have removed the grille and see two torx screws on sides of the center ring, but it doesn’t look like removing those will enable removing the brush. Besides, the ends of the brush are captured in sockets at each side of the vacuum head and no evident way to pull those side walls out to free the brush.

Dyson DC25 brush motor not spinning - Any advice on repairing?

My 9 year old Dyson Ball DC25 brush motor is not spinning. The brush quit spinning as a hair ball was stuck on it. I removed the brush and removed/cleaned per the steps listed on Dyson’s site. Reassemble the brush and pressed the power button and the brush was not spinning. I pressed the reset brush button next to the power button and it still not spinning. What are the failure/break points that might have the issue that I can check next? Switch? Relay? brush motor? Please advise.

Retired Dyson DC15 Allergy - Where can I purchase parts?

Hi, I have a Dyson DC15 allergy (white ball), and it stopped working.I have checked all the wiring but found the armature of the main motor was covered with carbon (so no connection) and also the main carbon brushed were worn one more than other. So, I cleaned the armature, and the vacuum cleaner works now. I need to replace new brushes, but unable to find the brushes for DC15 on the internet. Also called Dyson and they were unable to help and did not want to give me the part number.Can anyone help where i could purchase a replacement brushed for the main motor and for the brush motor.

Dyson DC20 Animal - Turbine Head Attachment

HiOur DC20 Stowaway Turbine Head has become very rattly and inefficient. I took it apart but couldn’t see anything obviously wrong. As this model isn’t supported anymore I was wondering if anyone could please tell me what replacements there are that would work with my DC20 and is there also some sort of adapter I would need to get it to attach? The model number of the head is 906565-30 which I eventually found on the Dyson site. It’s out of stock (although there is one on ebay for £150 + £20 P&P!!!). I guess it’s been replaced by the new tangle free head for newer models.Thank you (Moderation Edit - Tags Added/Category Updated)

Brush Bar Problems - Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Vacuum

Hello Community,My wife bought a Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Vacuum in 2020 which MSRP was $699.99. This was the most we had ever spent on a vacuum. I will admit that functionally this is the best vacuum that we have ever owned. We seem to keep having problems with the brush bar it seems to get out of alignment then destroy the plastice becoming more and more out of alignment until it will not function. We have replaced the whole head assembly, sent in to Dyson, replaced only the brush bar (which is part of the head assy) and most recently sent in again where they replaced the head assembly. Considering the age of this and the value of the vacuum we are quite suprised that we have had so many problems. I clean the brush bar before ever use and this is one of the models that there is no filter to clean. I always check to make sure that there are no blockages.Does anyone know why this keeps happening, as it stands Dyson has suggested I take advantage of my warranty that doesnt expire u
