Top 20 Dyson DC59 Animal Bagless Cordless Stick Vacuum - Page 7 Questions & Answers

It sounds like an electrical problem to me. A wire maybe be frayed or partially disconnected, and therefore, is cutting out the power when it's no longer making contact. Unfortunately, it sounds like you may need to bring it in for repair or call an electrician friend who may find the problem.

This is one of the simpler Dyson's to replace a belt on. Here is a good video showing it.

Usually all of it

You need a vacuum with an adjustable height powerhead, and also suction control. Dyson has neither

Dyson's site reports: "A flashing red light indicates that there is a fault, please call the Dyson Helpline. "

Have you tried pushing the peg inwards? This locking peg should be spring-loaded, and tapered at the top to retract automatically when the handle is pushed down, like a folding umbrella. However, it could be jammed, so try manual force. The lock-peg may have trapped a piece of debris around its body.

There is a motor just for the beater bar, and a belt that connects the motor to the beater bar...either your motor is bad or your belt is broken

you would need to put it in a bag of rice for about 2 weeks before trying to run it again.

Yes, It is possible

The on/off power switch faulty. The switch gets used every time you use it.So It might be that.Unplug it and open the switch.You can use a meter to check it.If it's in the off mode and still sends a signal...it's the switch

if you followed all instructions then return

If it has good suction but won't pick up dirt off the floor it probably needs the belts or clutch replaced.

Suction stops when there is either something blocking inside the hose or you vacuumed a sharp object that created a hole or tears in the hose or bottom transfer line. You will need to look very carefully at the hose to see is something is jammed up also turn the unit over and look at the looping hoselike section to see if there is a tear or jam. if its a jam carefully remove the object. if its a tear you will need to get the part from Dyson to replace it. since the unit is new you can also send it in for repair. depending on whether the unit is new or refurbished you should have from 1-5 years.

The filters might need cleaned or replaced.

You may have a bad motor and that will need to go into service.

-------------------

Red = flashing 1 to 10 times means needs a new body

Red -= flashing 11 or more times means needs a new battery

That's dyson's way of laughing at you for spending 4 times as much as you should have for a vacuum that doesn't work any better than the rest of them

Sounds like a bad motor and that will need to go to the service center for replacement.

Brush roll is probably jammed

This is common on the 25's. Take it to your local vac shop for repair. The pivot screw vibrates loose and binds the pivot point. This can be fixed. You probably need it serviced anyway as bagless machines need annual cleaning to perform properly.
