burning smell with DYSON V15 DETECT TOTAL CLEAN EXTRA | Dyson Community
Skip to main content

There’s now a burning/electric smell when this vacuum is being used. Filter gets cleaned regularly. 
When I used to have cheap-o vacuums, this smell usually meant a belt was broken. I looked through the replacement parts, and there’s no belt.

What are other likely causes?
