Dyson Ball DC24 Bagless Upright Vacuum\015 On the canister there is a white button that pushes in and out as you are looking at the machine from the right rear. If you don't have it pushed in, it won't suction. Am I missing a piece? Or how do I know if something is clogged in that tiny area? I have already checked the hose, the wand and the front to make sure nothing tangled. It makes a horrible sound when you try to vacuum and won't pick anything up.\015

How to Identify and Fix Common Vacuum Problems ?

Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced Vacuum Technicians :

A clog is a common (perhaps the most common) reason that a Dyson unit loses suction. They have a number of choke points in the airflow paths. Some considerations follow: Hoses: because of their often rough inner surfaces and inevitable bends, hoses are prime locations for clogs.
A: You do have to hold the button in while using this, but the way the Dyson is engineered it isn`t a big deal at all.
Vacuum cleaners are fairly simple machines. They need power to be transmitted to the vacuum to create a suction force that lifts debris. So, the usual areas that cause suction loss include the wrong height setting, stuck rollers, a faulty gasket, a broken vacuum belt, a filled bag, or a clogged hose.
The most compelling reason to upgrade to the new Dyson Gen5detect is that it does away with the trigger that needs to be constantly squeezed for the vacuum to run.

Charger Charges your vacuum with or without a dock. Combination tool Two tools in one – wide nozzle and brush, for quick switching between cleaning and dusting tasks around your home or car.
A Dyson vacuum cleaner has a lifespan of around 10 years. This is considerably longer than most other vacuums. So, if you`re looking for a high-quality vacuum cleaner that will last you for a long time, a Dyson could be a good choice. However, remember that Dyson vacuums are expensive.
It may be full, or the machine may simply perceive it as too full to continue working. Dyson vacuum cleaners require constant airflow through them to work, and a full bin can stop this from happening. Make sure there`s no dirt lodged in the top part of the bin.
If the machine will no longer efficiently pick items up, the filter might be dirty. If after cleaning the filter your vacuum is still not sucking things up, turn your vacuum around and pull the red tab at the bottom of your Dyson out.
All vacuum cleaners operate based on air flowing from the opening at the cleaning head or tool, through the vacuum cleaner and the bag and/or filter system and then out the exhaust port. This airflow is created by the vacuum motor, which also may be referred to as the suction motor.
In the event of an airways obstruction the machine is designed to pulsate. This is an audible feature that not just indicates a restriction of airflow, but also helps in preventing damage to the motor.
Check the Rotator Brush and Wheels

Sometimes pieces of string or other objects get wrapped around your vacuum`s rotating brush or around the wheels of the vacuum. Unplug your vacuum. Turn it over and have a look at the wheels and brush. If you see any pieces of string or objects lodged there, remove them.

The button turns the baseplate roller on or off for the vacuum. Allows you to use on hard floor surfaces without the roller spinning.
The model number is on the top left of the Bar code. Here is list of some very common positions or areas of the Dyson Vacuum where you will find the model and serial sticker.
Dyson Cyclone V10 cord-free vacuums are engineered to make a pulsing sound to let you know if something is preventing airflow from passing through the machine. The LED blockage indicator will also continue to flash for up to 1 minute.
Dyson even claims that it can operate with the equivalent of 10 years` worth of accumulated dust, without any kind of filter cleaning at all, without any loss of suction at all.
No, it is there to trap the carbon dust from the carbon-brushed motor and also any dust that managed to escape the cyclone stages and the pre` motor filter. Don`t do it, the suction of the machine with HEPA filter on is sufficient for most vacuuming work.
Dyson`s latest upright vacuum model, the Ball Animal 3, boasts superior suction and hair-detangling capabilities. It has a 50-foot cord and a 1.7-liter dustbin for covering large spaces.
If your Dyson vacuum is producing whistling noises, it may be the result of air leaking out of the vacuum`s vents. Check for broken seals and incorrectly-fitted parts. Broken seals may need to be replaced.
The most common cause of loss of suction is that the filters have become blocked. They may require cleaning or replacing. Another cause could be that the vacuum cleaner hose is blocked.
In many cases, you probably can repair a Dyson yourself, especially when it comes to common issues (see below). However, even if your machine needs some extra TLC by a Dyson expert, it can be worth getting it repaired.
Give it a break

By letting the battery run down to empty at least once a month, you`ll help to prolong its life. If you have a spare battery, we recommend you swap them out from time to time, so that they both have time to naturally discharge.

Since the vacuum is being often used, it is just normal that dirt, dog hair, and other things will be stuck there. Not being cleaned regularly also contributes to this clogging. To check your machine`s roller, you need to unplug or turn off the vacuum first and then turn the vacuum upside down and open it.
Rinse the Suction Cup in Warm Water

If you`re having trouble making suction cups stick, try submerging your suction cup in hot water. Because the heat softens the material, this is an effective trick. To get started, you`ll just need to boil a pot of water.

I have a DC24 dyson and it is not having suction without white button on canister pushed in.
ANSWER : Hi there, it’s Jack at Dyson.

I’m sorry to hear your DC24 doesn’t seem to be working as well as it should be. The white button you’ve described is the suction relief valve – this helps protect the motor if the machine is used when blocked.

From what you’ve described, it does sound like your machine has a blockage – the filters may also need a wash if you haven’t done this recently. Some quick troubleshooting checks should help locate the cause of the issue, and we’d appreciate the opportunity to provide further assistance by phone. You can reach our Helpline on 0800 298 0298 (UK), or 1-866-693-9766 (US).

We’ll look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,

No suction Just received my refurb. dyson animal bagless. Finally figured out how to get it all together, turned it on and there is no suction coming up thru the beater bar. The hair is just collecting around the bar and not going up into the canister. It appears all the suction is going thru the open red end of the attachment hose, which has a vented cover piece. Am I missing a piece or is there a switch to turn of the attachment suction?
ANSWER : So the red hose isn’t connected to a part on the vaccum so like it is connected to the connester but not to an opening just above the beater bar, this is the only idea i can supply you with. good luck, maybe i got lucky and helped you out.

This has only happend in the last 2 weeks.

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. dumfriesdon.jpg

I had the vacuum cleaner question about the canister and the wand/powerhead… the Kenmore Progressive Vacuum canister model 116.25812 and the canister not powering off without unplugging the vacuum. The solution I received that they both run on their own switch so it is normal makes sense. However, is there a power switch on the canister anywhere? The only way for the canister to be turned off is by unplugging it. Any ideas? One would think there would be a switch. I am new to fixya and hope
ANSWER : Hi. On some models, one switch controls all of the power. Your issue, which is no working switch is almost certainly a blown triac on the circuit board in the canister – kenmore part number KC86WBZRZ000

Looks like a common fault with this particular model judging by the number of complaints on the web.

Poor Suction Heya! So I just picked up a used Dyson, but when I vacuum with it, the suction is pretty weak and it spits all kinds of stuff out the back and into my feet. When I pull the hose I have good suction, but in regular mode it hardly picks up anything. The brushes are spinning, and it eventually will clean an area if I go over it again and again. Maybe a clog somewhere? Please tell me that Dysons have better suction than my $50 Dirt Devil! Thanks!
ANSWER : I recently bought a second hand Dyson DC07. Its suction was poor. I removed all the un-clipable pipe bits and to remove any blockage but it all looked clear. The Final Sponge and hepper filter did have a lot of dust in it and the rotating brush was full of hair but nothing bad.
.
.I eventual gave in to curiosity and removed the three screws in the top or the yellow removable dust collection tube and cyclone bit to see what was in there. The mechanism to release the flap at the bottom of the collection tube does not allow you to remove the lid completely but it does open far enough to get inside. I found the whole top section of the yellow plastic bit blocked by a big plug of compacted dust and a champagne cork. If you are willing to take the risk and have a torx 15 screwdriver handy it that part may be blocked. It did get a bit messy.
.
.If I was going to attempt the same procedure I’d remove the dust collection unit from the vacuum cleaner as I did before, but leave the clear tube attached and the emptying flap firmly closed to reduce the mess from the dust falling out the bottom while cleaning the top part.

Dyson dc23 canister rug attachment loses power after about 5 seconds, push red button and restarts for less time. After 3 or 4 trys of it working for seconds it just doesn’t turn on again. Reall
ANSWER : Hi Elizabeth, it’s Jack at Dyson.

I’m glad to hear you’ve been in touch already and we’re able to resolve the issue under your machine’s 5-year guarantee.

In most cases, the issue you’ve described will be caused by something jamming the brush bar. It can usually be resolved by clearing the brush bar of any debris, threads or hair, and checking the Motorhead for any obstructions, as shown in the video below.

If you’d like further help and advice with your machine at any point, please get in touch with us.
