Dyson Slim DC18 All Floors HEPA Bagless Upright Vacuum – Iron/Titanium/Yellow
How to Identify and Fix Common Vacuum Problems ?
Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced Vacuum Technicians :
After the pretty disappointing release of the DC15, the Dyson DC18 Slim was launched in 2006. It was produced up until the summer of 2008 and was designed to be a more lightweight version of the DC15.
The 6.6 kilograms (15 lb) Dyson DC18 Slim, launched in September 2006 and produced until summer 2008, is a slimmer and lighter-weight successor of the DC15 Ball upright.
The Dyson DC28 Animal was released by Dyson as part of the DC series. The vacuum was originally identified as the DC28-Animal-345267 but was soon shortened to the DC28. It made its debut in 2009 as a powerful stand up cleaner made for picking up the hard stuff like pet hair and deep matted debris.
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.
Over time, a vacuum`s hoses can start to crack and peel, and even if there are no obvious splits, there may be microcracks causing a loss of suction. Purchase a replacement hose and use the Dyson Ball Animal Hose Replacement Guide to replace the vacuum`s hose.
While for upright and cylinder vacuums, the model number is sometimes located on the underside of the vacuum but can also be behind the clear dust canister (if it has one) or underneath the action where the extension tube is stored.
`The only component that can be washed is the filter, which should be washed every three months to maintain the machine. `If the machine is dropped into water, please do not use and contact the Dyson Helpline, and if any owner has any concerns about their products, further information can be found online.
Taking Care Of Your Vacuum Cleaner
The only time a hose needs to be replaced is when there`s a puncture in it that prevents proper suction. If you change the tube and it still doesn`t run correctly, then there`s another issue which might indicate the need for a new vacuum cleaner.
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.
Dyson was designed and patented by a British, had it made in Malaysia (Johor Bahru), – as it is cheaper to make here.

I’m using Miele Medivac vacuum and I just sucked in a small plastic eye drop container by accident(I sometimes take off the brush part to **** in ‘small enough’ articles). And it is jammed in the part where the plastic hose connector bends. I think I can take it out if I can just disconnect the long necked plastic hose connector that connects the metal wand part and the hose part.
Is it designed to be disconnected or should I not even try it?
ANSWER : I love the fact that the filter bleeped out s.u.c.k ha ha!
Dyson DC07 bin trapdoor won’t stay closed: The small plastic piece on the tip of the center rod on the cylone assembly broke off, so my trap door won’t stay closed. Any idea how to find just that part, so I don’t have to replace the entire cylone part?
ANSWER : You can buy that part here: Dyson DC07 Spares
Lost Part I have a 6.5 hp 18 gallon shop vac ultra pro. There is a part that goes into the inside of the tank and screws into the collection hose that attaches it to the tank. This part accidentally got thrown away when someone dumped it and now I cannot attach the hose to use the vacuum. Can this part be purchased separately?
ANSWER : I found a manual online for the shop vac and found the part number. Did locate part online.

I need to replace the brushbaron my DC17 Animal model Dyson. It’s almost four years old. I can’t find the correct part number on the Dyson Website and I can’t seem to find a Dyson repair center in Albuquerque, NM.
What are my alternatives? If I can’t service this machine without returning it to Dyson, I won’t ever buy another one.

I own a Eureka Optima 437 and one of the rear wheels are broken and cannot find parts for this. Where can I find parts for real wheel?
I have a rear wheel that came off too. The wheel seems fine, but the plastic base that the wheel clicks onto on the underside of the vac seems to have cracked. I need a new plastic bottom. Any ideas?

ANSWER : Called Eureka Customer Service and ordered another part. They are mailing it to me free of charge!
No more problem.
Kirby turns on with hose attachement but not with head attachment
ANSWER : Front of the unit, black switch that is pressed by this plastic protrusion from hose coupling has two parts. It is because ANY generation Kirby has speeds – HIGH for vacuuming with hose and LOW for using it with nozzle.
Looks like the switch went bad (Switch HERE)

We have instructions for replacing it too.
The “funny noise” with hose throws me off a bit though. Check if there is nothing in the hose (put a nickle through it).
Good Luck
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. 
No Suction I have a dc18 dyson and it had lost suction from the main hoover and the hose part. If you remove the dust collection part there is suction from the hole behind that part. I have cleaned all part to this hoover but the problem is still there. Any help would be apprieciated. Thanks
