Dyson DC07 Bagless Upright Cyclonic Vacuum\015 Thanks for your help with this problem. I understand what you mean, but the part that forms the bend in the bottom of the pipe is in the way. As I said, I have removed what looks like the retaining screw on the bottom but although this loosens it, it will not come free far enough to bet to the back of the green retaining catch to be able to tap it out. I don’t want to force it as you say it is very brittle. Do I need to take another part off first?\015
How to Identify and Fix Common Vacuum Problems ?
Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced Vacuum Technicians :
There are two filters on a DC07, the first is the pre-motor filter, which are washable and is recommended by Dyson to be washed at least every 6 months. The pre motor filter also acts as a protection to the motor, trapping the smallest of dirt or debris from travelling to the motor.
On most Dyson upright vacuums however, the filter is located underneath the dust cup. To access the filter in this machine, you`ll have to completely remove the dust receptacle and open the cover near the base of the sweeper. If you have a smaller machine like the Dyson ball, the filter is located inside of the ball.
Dyson purification and hand drying technologies use HEPA filtration to ensure particles like bacteria, viruses, pollen and dust are removed from the airflow, projecting cleaner air back into the room.
Wash filters in cold water only (don`t use detergent or wash in a dishwasher or washing machine). Rinsing under the water supply then gently squeezing the water out of the filter.
I would not use with filter off. This must be a feature of the newer models. This one blows air even with the filter removed. The suction is reduced by a considerable amount.
Every best Dyson cordless vacuum model has at least one filter, but some models have two – one near the cyclone part of the vacuum and one at the back of the appliance.
We recommend you give your Dyson filter a thorough cleaning every month. You should also aim to replace your filter every year. Although this amount of time can change depending on how often you use your vacuum and how dirty the floors are.
this is a dc75. take the filter out of the. box you get there`s the screws that you get they obviously match. the new filter that`s going on but the same screws i did one so if you lose one you`ve got another five to go.
Wash the HEPA filter (if included): Not all of the Dyson V7 models include a HEPA filter. That said, if your unit does, it should be washed once per month with cold water and allowed to air dry for 24 hours.

Dyson DC07 Filter Release Catch removal
ANSWER : If its the part im thinking of its a small spade like catch thats glued into a hole in the chassis normally id lay the machine on its front and gently tap the old catch out with a flat end screwdriver and a small hammer be carefull its very brittle
On the DC07, the entire cyclone assembly must be removed to empty the dust, debris, etc. collected when vacuuming. On the top of the cyclone is a “trigger” that you lift with your finger to release the bottom catch, which allows a clear flap to open on the “clear bin,” thus letting all the debris fall out. My problem is when you lift the finger trigger, it does not release the catch on the bottom. Since the catch won’t release, I cannot remove the entire clear bin either from the cyclone.Any sug
ANSWER : Beofre you go to the extent of buying a replacement canister, you can remove the top and using a straightened coat hanger type thing open that bottom lid. Then maybe you can clean the rim and possibly add some silicone spry to loosen things up. Here’s how to get inside
In this order: 1) Remove the canister 2) remove the three star screws at the top of the canister. It’ll take a bit of pressure to pull the top up, there’s a rubber seal. When you pull it up there will be a rod running down into the canister, leave it be, just pull up the top high enough to clear out any debris. 3) Use a straightened coat hanger and with a flashlight to guide you, reach down with it and push it into that hole down at the bottom center of the canister. That will pop the lid open. Clean the canister & lid rims, maybe add some silicone. At this point you might as well clean the canister too. OPTIONAL-> ***leave the bottom lid open*** and follow the rest of these steps 4) Put the top back on aligning the screws, when you lower it make sure the bottom of the rod engages with the hole at the bottom center of the canister, this is why you left the bottom lid open. Put the three star screws back in. 4) Turn the canister upside down, lid open, and keeping in mind this is thin plastic, gently tug upwards on the four fins that surround the bottom rubber seal. This part is held in by friction, so work your way around the four fins gently pulling until you work the ring they’re connected to free. This will give you access to the inside of the canister. 5) remove the round perforated section by tugging upwards on it, set it aside with the fin part. 6) Take the canister to a laundry tub or large sink and holding it bottom up fill it with hot/warm water. Grasping the center section shake it vigorously and turn it upside down while shaking and a bunch of sh*t will come out. Repeat several times. 7) Dry thoroughly, you might use a hairdryer held to the center tube, but only if you can switch off the heat and use air only. Make sure its 200% dry, water will kill your machine 8) clean and replace the round perforated section 9) replace the fin section, I’d suggest pulling the round rubber part off of the fin part and setting it in place on the canister first, then follow with the plastic fin part. If you don’t do it this way the rubber won’t seat properly and the bottom lid won’t close. 10) Close the lid, replace the canister, and staaaaaart suckin like it’s brand new. This is embarassing, but I have just looked at the Dyson DC07 manual and at my Dyson for about 20 minutes, and I can’t for the life of me find the wand release button on my actual Dyson…..the manual pictures don’t look like the parts on my Dyson….I don’t have a hose with a wand release button….the hose just goes straight up inside the handle….Can someone help me? Thanks 🙂
ANSWER : Hi the wand release button is located directly above the the Cylinder release button. The wand release button looks like the picture below. In order to releease the wand you must firstly make sure the Electrical cable is not wrapped up for storage. So unwrap the electrical cable. then find the item as in the picture. Press this button in and at the same time lift the wand. This will realease the wand from the spine of the Dyson.

Dyson DC07 Filter Release Catch removal
ANSWER : Yes sorry i know what mean you need to remove the motor casing to reduce the risk of breaking any parts. Lay dyson on the front and remove the bottom plate and roller bar. Now you need to remove the belt from the motor pin lay on left side look t the round clip located next to the wheel which is holding the whole floor atachment to the chasse. Remove the clip with a flat ended screwdriver then flip to opposite side and repeat the same. The floor atachment should be moved to the down position as far as possible. now you can remove the the bottom attechment starting from the opposite side to the belt now undo the four screws on the bottom of the chassis and remove the screws under the other filter on top of the moter now remove the top cover now the piece in the way should move out.
Dyson DC07 Clear Bin Flap will not release
ANSWER : Important thing is that in order to get the rod in the hole, you have to squeeze the trigger while you are trying to do it. Squeezing trigger makes rod longer. All fixed!
Dyson DC07 The plastic pre filter catch snapped on my Dyson. I have a replacement already, but can’t figure out how to remove the bottom of the broken one. It looks easy enough to slide/snap the new one in but accessing the old one isn’t easy. What do I need to do to get it out?
ANSWER : Turn your dyson over so you can get to the bottom undo the screw and then you can see the bottom of the clip a gentle tap with with a screw driver blade will knock it out and the other one slips in
