20 Most Recent Dyson DC07 Bagless Upright Cyclonic Vacuum - Page 4 Questions & Answers

Hi.

Your Dc14 will have A clutch unit.
Check that when you pull back handle to vacuum that the clutch control knob which is located front lower left side of machine moves to drive position & is not stuck in off or park position.
Rotate it to drive if its at off or park when you have lowered handle.

If adter checking this you still have no brush rotation you will need to remove clutch unit to either replace thr belts or fit new clutch.

If you are referring to the filter at the base of the machine on the right hand side (standing in front of the machine with the clear cylinder directly in front of you), then, when you remove the filter housing you will see a filter with what looks like the spokes on a wheel. The cloth-type filter is permanently attached to this part. Behind that should be a round, thick, blue foam filter with a hole in the middle (like a doughnut). I hope this answers your question.

There are 4 nylon rollers on the baseplate that have probably got lots of shtuff (hair etc) lodged. free them up and give all the wheels and rollers a liberal squirting of food grade silicone spray available most hardware/auto places, try not to use oil based lubrication as this tends to attract dirt.

If the beater bar does not spin freely, and the belt still seems to be in place, then you may not need a new clutch, but you may need to reset the clutch.  This is done very simply by keeping the beater bar section of the vacuum flat on the floor and reclining the handle all the way to the floor so the entire vacuum lays flat. There is a mechanism in the vacuum which resets the clutch. You will probably not hear anything when the clutch resets.  I sat on the phone for an hour and a half to hear this simple technique is built into the vacuum, but excluded from all instructions and website customer service information.

Hi There,

Most likely your switch has gone bad, and you'll need to replace the on/off switch on your Dyson DC07. If you have to hold down the switch in order to keep the vacuum on, this is indicative of needing a new switch. Unfortunately this is very common problem on the Dyson vacuums . The switch that Dyson uses for their vacuums is one of the cheapest switches on any vacuum on the market today. The good news though is that this is not a extremely difficult repair to fix.

I took pictures of replacing the switch assembly on one of our customers repairs they brought in. It was having the same exact problem that yours is, it just wouldn't stay on. Here's how you can fix the switch on your Dyson:

- T15 Torx Bit Screw Driver
- Genuine Dyson DC07 & DC14 Replacement On/Off Switch Part 901181
- Needle Nose Pliers
- Patience (haha)

The switch above is actually a link back to our site if you have yet to purchase the switch yet. We carry most every Dyson part.

IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE YOUR VACUUM IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE!

Step 1. First thing you'll want to do is to unwrap the cord from the machine, and remove the handle from the upright part, then slide the hose all the way down the wand, and remove the hose from the handle assembly completely and set it aside. Also remove the dust bin assembly completely from the machine as well.



Step 2. Once you've remove the handle from the machine I find it easier to work on if you lay the vacuum on it's back, with the switch button facing upwards. Now remove the T15 Torx bit screw that is directly below the switch actuator. I have circled the location of this screw in the picture below:



Step 3: After you have taken off the screw, you're doing to need to remove the switch box housing from the vacuum that the screw was securing. Simply use your flat head screw driver, and pry the two small arms upwards. Be careful when prying, the plastic components on Dyson Vacuums are really cheap quality plastic, and I can't tell you how many times I have seen these plastic parts break when customers bring in repairs to us here at govacuum headquarters. Here's a picture of the location of where you should pry the switching off:



Here's what the vacuum should look like after the switch housing has been removed:



Step 4. Use your needle nose pliers to remove the terminals from both of the switch poles.




Step 5. Take out the new switch assembly. I find it the easiest to use my needle nose pliers to reattach the wires to the new switch, but it also can be done with just your hands. Both both wires to your switch. If the cords have come loose while you have been working on the vacuum, you'll need to put the wires back into their proper places as well. This is how the switch and the wires should look like when you're done:


Step 6. Once the switch and cords are back to their normal places, simply put the switch housing cover back on, and screw in the one screw.

I hope that this repair was helpful to you, if you have any questions or have any problems, please feel free to use the clarification request form here on Fixya.

If you ever need any for your Dyson, we do carry most parts and accessories on our site under our Dyson Parts Section .

If this was helpful, please be so kind and leave feedback for the repair. This is really, really appreciated and is the reason repair professionals like myself continue to post free repair help on Fixya rather then just answering the paid questions.

Thanks again,

Just resolved the same problem...couldn't find a blockage anywhere, but pulled handle out of hose and extended hose as far as possible upward. Aha! There was blockage in the hose at the very bottom where the flexible hose meets the rigid part.. There is a lever which releases the entry to the bottom of the hose. A pencil, lots of coins, a crumpled receipt and general dirt were stuck. Easy to clean and now it works like new again.

Hi there I have made a video to show you how to clean out the radix tubes on a Dyson DC07 vacuum cleaner. If it is helpful to you please take a moment to give me a thumbs up or even write a testimonial. If you need to get filters or other parts for your Dyson DC07 check out vacuumspot or nelsonvacuums.

Assuming you mean the motor runs for a short while after switch on, then cuts out, this is indicative of a faulty motor - it has an over-current sensor that shuts off to prevent overheating and possibly fires. You need to have the motor replaced. It is possible to do this yourself if you have very good DIY skills and tools, or a repair shop should be able to do it for a reasonable fee. Replacement motors are available on eBay, and if you search YouTube, there are loads of "how to" videos on this sort of stuff.

Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson. There are two versions of DC07 - some include a brush bar which rotates all the time when the vacuum is running. And some include a brush control clutch mechanism which allows you to turn off the brush bar for hard floor cleaning. If your machine has the brush control, you'll see the dial on the front of the cleaner head. If you have a DC07 without the brush control feature, you can replace the belt as shown in our online Support guide: http://www.dyson.co.uk/support/dc07/dc07-standard/maintaining-your-dyson-machine/change-the-belt1/belt-fitting-preparation However, if you have a DC07 with the brush control feature, the clutch mechanism uses belts engineered to last the lifetime of the machine in normal use. These are not designed to be replaced by the user, and we would advise against attempting to change these as damage may be caused to your machine. For further advice on having your machine repaired, or to order replacement belts for a DC07 without brush control, please contact our experts directly. You can reach us by calling 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), 1-877-397-6622 (CA) or 1800 239 766 (AU).

dysonmedic can help with this: http://www.dysonmedic.com/DC07%20Folder/DC07%20Motor%20change.html However, you must UNPLUG the Dyson before attempting this! If you are not confident with this type of repair, find a friend who is.

ooh not nice it maybe sounds like a motor gear is not meshing in properly somewhere inside so i suggest you return it to the people who did the service for you & get it repaired which will still be under their guarantee of quality service I hope

If you have the machine in front of you, with the front of the machine facing you, then the filter is located on the bottom right hand side (just a little lower than the bottom of the clear cylinder). If you look closely you'll see a little embossed picture of a filter on the plastic. You'll see a button with an arrow on it. Press the button and the whole section simply slides out in an upward motion. To remove the filter, remove the whole of the inside of that section. It can get rather difficult to remove due to gritty dirt build up, but it will eventually come out if you grab the yellow 'spokes' and jiggle the filter clockwise and anticlockwise whilst pulling at the same time. When you get this part out you can remove the sponge filter. Both the sponge filter and the filter holder can be washed by hand. Although they recommend just cold water to rinse it through, mine is usually too dirty for just that and I use lukewarm water and a bit of washing up liquid. Make sure it's fully dry before you put it back in (let it dry naturally, not on a radiator). HTH.

No but it does have a switch that can go bad I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/charles_6bf94c079488b145
