Dyson Ball Animal: I am not getting suction to the canister when using the brushbar

Sun, 23 Feb 2025 14:32:46 -0700

When using the dyson animal vacuum in upright mode (not the pull out hose), I am not getting suction. When I utilize the hose which you pull out of the handle, I have suction.

Dyson Ball Animal: Why does my brush bar not spin?

Fri, 05 Jan 2024 13:02:05 -0700

I have recently replaced the entire head module after the old one burned out and things were working good for a few months. Now the brush bar has stopped working again. The issue started with the brush bar spinning intermittently when I lowered the handle to engage to brush bar. The brush bar would only engage when I held the handle at certain angles. Now it won’t engage at all. When I remove the head I still have suction. I suspect this might be a wiring issue. Any ideas on what parts need replaced?

Dyson Ball Animal: Loud grinding noise from ball

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 15:55:33 -0700

This happened mid yesterday while vacuuming stairs (if that’s relevant)- so there’s a bit of jostling the vacuum around as I go up the steps. Halfway up, ball starts making a loud grinding noise that makes me afraid to run it. Let it cool down and it sounded even worse when starting back up. It’s not the whistling noise others describe and it isn’t just upon start and stop. Wondering if there’s something I can do before reaching out for professional repair.

Dyson Ball Animal: Why does my Dyson ball 25 make Loud deep whistle sound on start up

Tue, 05 Sep 2023 08:12:44 -0700

Starting up my Dyson ball has a deep almost whistle sound for a few mins after starting up. When it shuts off it literally sounds like a jet fighter engine spooling down.

Only thing I can sugest is a seal on something or a bad gate when I switch from using the wand to push mode. Maybe something didn't close. It partially goes away while using it.
