Dyson DC35: Dyson DC35 Stalling Repeatedly

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 08:26:47 -0700

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?

Dyson 360 Eye: Eye 360 Red light flashing

Fri, 29 May 2026 03:43:06 -0700

Hi, trying to start the robot, a red flashing light appears and blocks any other operation. Occasionally the robots starts and it works normally for about a couple of hours covering the entire surface: this leads me to exclude battery issues but I would appreciate your support in finding the root cause of the red light. Could it be any issue related to the tracks? Thank you for you support

Dyson DC45: Why does my Dyson stop working every 3-5 seconds

Sat, 23 May 2026 20:31:29 -0700

We have a Dyson DC45. It shuts off (stops working) every 3-5 seconds. Can this be fixed, by myself or at a repair centre?

The Dyson DC 45 ( I have shown DC56 here as it appears similar to the DC45) stops every 3-5 seconds when in use. The following is a more detailed series of the events which occur.

The Dyson is fully charged, when starting use with the brush head attachment, stops working after about 10 seconds of use.

We turn it on using the trigger starter. It stops again after about 3 seconds. We release the trigger and press it again. It starts and runs for approximately 3 seconds, then stops again. The sequence of restarting is repetitive until we give up in frustration.

Is there a "home fixable solution" or must it be taken to a repair shop? If so, where in the Toronto area can it be taken.

Thank you

Dyson DC14: Why doesn't the vacuum head lie flat anymore?

Mon, 18 May 2026 10:17:31 -0700

The head of my DC 14 doesn't lie flat anymore. I had it in for service to replace a starter switch last July. When I got it back, it was very stiff to push and seemed to have great suction. I heard a cracking noise then when I was trying to pull handle down to vacuum. Since then, the head doesn't lie flat.

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

Mon, 18 May 2026 09:42:50 -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?

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

Sat, 09 May 2026 08:32:51 -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 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.
