@PhilipCSwift 

First and foremost, what’s the reason that you were advised to purchase the main body? Here at my region, the main body assembly is only replaced after a technician diagnoses the unit, typically not over the phone. 

Also, regarding a 3rd party website, I do not recommend them as Dyson would not guarantee the quality, and genuineness of the parts. It may effect other unchanged parts of your unit as well. I’m really not sure why the agent referred to them, but it seems that speaking to another representative would be a better option.

In addition, if your unit is within the warranty period, I highly suggest you to have it shipped to their workshop. There is a high chance that you would have faulty parts replaced at no cost if it’s a natural defect.

Hope you get this resolved very soon.

Hi @PhilipCSwift,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

I was not advised. I decided I wanted to buy a main body. No one has to go via a ‘technician’.

There are approved 3rd party websites as per Jodeys’ information. Who are you to recommend or not recommend them? Of course it’s not within warranty, why would I wish to buy a main body if it was?

Thank you Jodey. Still not sure why one costs more than the other though. Is it not just the colour that’s different?

Hi @PhilipCSwift , 

I'd like to cast my eyes on this in a little more detail. Could you please drop me a DM with your name, address and contact details.

I’ll review your account, the part in question and see if there’s any additional update I can provide. Looking to contact you directly with an outcome. 

Thanks,  

Jodey
