Loss of suction after vacuuming up and removing a piece of paper

I sucked up a piece of paper with my Dyson Animal Canister vacuum and even after I have removed it the suction sucks!!! I have done everything that they suggest online but still very little suction and a hollow noise when it starts up which disappears when it gets going. I can't find anyway to get any further inside to check. All the hoses are clear.

Hi. The hollow noise and lack of suction suggests there is still air flow restriction. Start from the furthest point and work back towards the motor. Pull the hose off at the machine. Has high suction returned to normal? If not, open the canister and expose the filter bag. Remove the filter bag and check for a blockage or is the bag full? If the bag is not full and there is no blockage inside the inlet tube. Leave the hose and the filter bag removed, close up the canister vacuum and turn it on. Has high suction returned to normal? If not, there is probably a secondary filter or HEPA filter that needs to be replaced. I hope this helps. Please let me know what you found. Good Luck.

SOURCE: Problems with Dyson DC14 Animal Bagless Vacuum

Two possible solutions come to mind. First off, there is a clog in your hose. If you have another vacuum, try using the hose on that one to **** it out.
If that doesn't work, you may need to have the clutch replaced. Check your warranty. The clog wont be covered, but the clutch will be,

SOURCE: I have a dyson dc07

Hi there, I have a suspicion that you are actually missing a piece called a u-bend. I have made a video to show you how to fault find this problem for the dyson dc07. If you need to get a new piece for your vacuum I would recommend vacuumspot or nelsonvacuums.
If this was a helpful post for you please take a moment to write a testimonial or give me a thumbs up.

    SOURCE: My dyson DC24 makes a loud noise when turned on. The air flow seems to be going out another another end on the vaccum kind of by the on switch.

    Hi there,

    I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulty with your DC24. If the relief valve is activating, you may have a blockage somewhere in the machine, and the filters may also need a wash.

    To locate and remove any blockages, please follow the steps shown in our online Support guide:

    http://www.dyson.co.uk/support/dc24/dc24-multi-floor/my-machine-is-not-working/machine-not-sucking-picking-up-as-well-as-usual/how-to-wash-filters/check-suction

    In normal use, the filters need to be washed at least once a month, as shown in the video below. We'd recommend using cold water without detergent, and allowing at least 24 hours for the filters to dry completely before replacing them in the machine. It may help to leave the filters somewhere warm, such as beside a radiator, or in an airing cupboard.

    This should resolve the issue, but if you'd like any further assistance or advice, please give our customer Helpline a call on 0800 298 0298 (UK), or 1-866-693-9766 (US).

    Best wishes,

      My Dyson DC 28 works great, until I remove the bag to empty it. I reattach it, clicking it carefully in place, but then I release the "tilt" thing to vacuum carpet, and NO SUCTION! I have to keep taking...

      On the back of the Hoover is a couple of parts you can remove, one is a u bend which will trap heavier parts which resist the suction so get stuck in the bottom of this, and the other part is usually on the right at the bottom which is an acces point to the very art which you hear click. In the upright position it directs the vacuum suction up the extendable pipe, but when you pull the handle back, it should gently glide from one direction over to direct vacuum suction to the bottom plate. It's tha part which is getting stuck in the handle sucking direction. I'd check to see if it is physically damaged in any way or if something is tapped in it like a coin or something. Good luck

      Loss of suction

      Did you check to make sure the rotating brush is working? Did you remove the removable channels to check for obstructions? Also, is the canister empty?

      Loss of suction to the hose. All hose lines appear to be clear.

      Have you tried reversing the hose-- and sucking on the outlet end?-- this might assure that the hose is unplugged--

      Or is there ot enough suction at the hose connection, when you remove it, and place your hand over the opening?

      WHen did you change filters last on the upright?-- or at least clean the filters?

      I vacuumed up some material and then pulled it out now it has no suction from the vacuum head

      yikes! hard to lose suction on a dyson! i have this one and have had this problem a couple of times..

      remove the canister - check the line in and the hole that goes into the canister for blockages.

      check the filter - you can (and should) remove and clean the small foam filter every 6 months.

      if it is still clogged - depending on what you vacuumed up....
      In the top part of the canister there is a piece that has holes - if these become clogged it can reduce suction.. clean this part.

      If you have by some chance vacuumed up ashes or fine dust from drywall.. etc... or if it was wet... and you have done all of these things.. i would take it to be checked... these are no no's for the workings of a vacuum :) Good Luck!

      Hi there SmartAlec from NelsonVacuums.com.au here. If your only going to use it once you can remove the washable filter it is likely choking the suction off and is in need of replacement. If this improves the suction you can purchase a replacement dyson filter here. Hope this helps. Happy Vacuuming :)

      Suction loss when handle is tipped back to clean carpet

      can any one help,
      Our Dyson Animal vacuum has plenty of suction when it is upright and the attachments are being used off the hose, but when the handle is tipped back to begin cleaning carpets the beater head is getting no suction. As the handle is being tipped back you can hear what sounds like a flapper valve in the body of the vacuum opening and then all the suction just goes away.
