Dyson v8: Not working - 3 blue light on

Sat, 02 May 2026 19:14:30 -0700

Hi,

my Dyson v8 is not working. At first I thought it was a battery, but when I press the power button, the 3 blue lights come on (not just one - a weak battery indicator). But the cleaner doesn't work. Anyone know what the problem might be?

Thanks.

Dyson V15 Detect: Dyson V15 Detect stops after a few seconds with no indicators

Sat, 02 May 2026 10:54:06 -0700

I've had it for nearly 2 years. The problem occurs when I press the trigger—it runs for a few seconds and then stops (with its signature "wooump" sound). It repeats this 2-3 times before eventually working. However, now I can't get it to run for longer than a few seconds, even after several tries.

I’ve changed the filter and cleaned everything I can access. In some forums, I’ve read that it might be an issue with the "main body," (whatever that means) while others suggest it could just be a cracked trigger, which should be an easy fix.

Dyson V7 Motorhead: Dyson v7 Motorhead flashing red lights and not charging.

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 00:00:41 -0700

Hello, my Dyson v7 motorhead isn’t charging. After pressing the button to use it, the vacuum would flash a red light at the bottom for a short while before shutting off. The same happens upon plugging it in. Does anyone know what is going on, if so how do you fix it?

Dyson V12 Detect Slim: V12 keeps shutting off in seconds, but…

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 11:51:20 -0700

V12 started shutting off after several seconds.

First, it only happened when the vacuum increased suction.

Then, it started happening within normal use. But if I started it in eco mode, it worked ok.

The thing is, once I turned it on again 3 or 4 times on a row, it started working as usual, without shutting off. Like if something is heating up so the vac starts operating as normal.

Now it shuts down even in eco mode. Still, 3–4 restarts help, and it runs until I manually turn it off.

Dyson v6 Absolute: 0V missing at the brush head motor

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 10:55:06 -0700

The brush head has stopped working. I have cleaned all the removable parts properly and put it back together. However it still fails to spin. The vacuum motor is working fine!

So, next I took the main body to pieces to reveal the PCB. Using my multimeter I found there was 21V across the vacuum motor terminals. But when I went across the brush head supply terminals I get nothing. However if I go on the positive terminal of the brush head and the negative of the vacuum motor I get 21V.

i’m aware that there is some sort of overload to protect the brush head motor in the case of drawing high currents, and im assuming it’s in the negative line, but where is it? And can I reset or replace?

I bought the cleaner 4 years ago and the filter needs replacement for the second time.

I would not expect filters which have been washed as recommended to require periodic replacement. Is there a fault on the machine

Dyson V11 Torque Drive: Others seeing issues with Dyson V11 power switch?

Tue, 02 Dec 2025 20:11:15 -0700

Getting ready to open up the V11 as the NO intermittent power switch trigger is having issues and will occasionally not turn OFF when released (in contrast to some of the earlier Dyson model reported issues). This appears to be a bad switch/connection under the red trigger button as it could be silenced by pressing to the side (which may have helped kick the button back up underneath). I am simply trying to do my homework here to see if this was a common issue or an anomaly, in case there was anything more nefarious that had been seen or reported by others.

Many thanks!

Dyson v6 Absolute: Dyson v6 fluffy brush motor replacement

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 09:36:21 -0700

Hi! My dyson motorhead just broke. I disassembled the brush and found the motor was broken. Tried to fix it but i saw sparks and smoke coming from the inside so I have to replace it. I have disassembled the motor too and kept all the original cylinders, screws and plastic cover. So i only need to find a compatible electric motor and re-assembly everything. My question is, how do i know which motor is compatible? It shouldn’t be difficult to find one in aliexpress but i don’t know what to look for. Somebody could help me please? Thanks!

I’ve uploaded 2 pictures. 1st picture is my broken motor with the plastic part that I haven’t deattached yet. The other picture corresponds to another dyson v6 fluffy brush motor fullydisassembled
