Thu, 27 Aug 2026 07:03:20 -0700

Hello folks! I just wanted to ask an question about Dyson V15 Detect laser head! One random day in 2024 the laser stopped working but the blue and yellow thing roll and suck things good as usual and the vacuum works. And i don't want to see 'put on the switch' bla bla cuz IT dont have the SWITCH AND IT ONLY have 'Fluffly Optic!🥰' and there is no hair in every roller if anyone is smarter like Albert please tell me what is wrong with it.😊

Dyson V6 Motorhead: Why is my Dyson going on an off when I'm holding the on button?

Thu, 13 Aug 2026 20:31:02 -0700

Why is my Dyson going on an off when I'm holding the on button?

First let me say, the battery charges just fine and I’ve totally cleaned out the collection bin. I push the button to turn on the vacuum and it works, but then turns off and on over and over again while I’m still holding the button down.

I looked this up online and someone said the filter needed to be cleaned. So I took out the filter rinsed it as the online instructions said, let it dry, then put it back in. This did not solve the problem.

Any other suggestions?

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

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 06:01:37 -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 Vacuum: Red lever will not pull up so I can empty/replace canister

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 14:28:52 -0700

I cannot empty my V8 canister because the red lever will not budge will I try to pull it up. Dyson is sending me a new canister, but have no idea how I can change it because you have to pull the red lever to release the current one.

Dyson V8 Absolute: bin/canister will not open no matter how hard we pull

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 09:57:14 -0700

I cannot open the bin/canister of my Dyson V8 Absolute to empty the contents. The trigger does not budge. We tried the little red latch on the bottom of the bin/canister but it’s blocked. We cannot detach the canister as the top red trigger is blocked. I bought it in June last year so still under guarnatee. Dyson told me to send it to them, which I am reluctant to do.

Any ideas how to open it without destroying it? It’s been a week of pulling the trigger so really fed up at this point.

This vacuum has a clean filter, clean brush, clear canister, charged battery. No matter what I do, it only works for about ten seconds before it shuts off, then I can start it again, but the cycle continues with it stalling, and stalling.

Dyson DC14: Dyson DC14 beater brush bar won’t STOP spinning.

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 14:50:04 -0700

DC14 Animal Upright beater brush bar typically stopped spinning when the vacuum was placed in the upright position (as expected). Now the beater brush no longer turns off when I stand the vacuum up to use the wand. Vacuum is also making a slight high-pitched sound for first minute or two after being powered on; not sure if any correlation but mentioning since this began maybe a month or two before I realized beater bar wasn’t stopping. I’ve taken it all apart & cleaned it well. No problem there as we have five girls with long hair & have to clean it often anyway. My best thought was the clutch, but all signs I can find online of a bad clutch point to bar *not* spinning. I have the opposite problem. Any ideas? Cannot find ANYONE with this issue online so not sure if I should go through hassle of replacing clutch or not in case it’s a different issue. What part makes the beater bar stop when the vacuum is placed in upright position?
