I called Dyson because I had a similar problem. When I pushed the red button down on my dc25, but it would not stay down. The vacuum would turn on when the button was pushed down, but of course when I let go of it the vacuum would shut off. The helpful telephone tech. Recognized the symptom right away and told me to push down on the button fully and let It flick up like a lighter. I about fell off my chair when that worked right away! Anyways for what it's worth, she said sometimes the mechanism in the buttons gets consnarlitated (my tern, not hers!) and this resets the spring.

    I can’t believe this actually worked. I was using the back up vacuum for a couple of months. Thank you.

I had the same issue with my dc25. It sems that over time, tension put on the power cord pulling it too tight or vacuuming too far from the wall plug caused the cord inside the power switch assembly to not only pull the switch connections too tight, but also dislodged the power cord from its plastic molded channel that routes it behind and out of the way of the switch operation and their associated connectors. I reseated the power cord in its designed channel, allowing enough slack in the wires as to not put tension on the switch connectors and our dc25 is back to perfect operation.

SOURCE: My dyson dc25 pipe has lost suction..is something ...

We had the exact same issue. Turns out my wife had inadvertantly sucked up a magnet that was the same size ans the tube. Hold the tube up to a light source. If you cannot see any light, there is something stuck in it. To dislodge the item, stretch out a wire hanger and run it through the tube. It should lislodge the item. Dyson's are great but are very tempermental!

Button will not stay down

Hi Dorothy, it's Jack at Dyson.

To ensure DC25's on/off switch works correctly, make sure you're pressing it downwards firmly. This will ensure the machine remains running and also activates the brush control swich - so when the machine is reclined into the vacuuming position, the motorised brush bar will rotate for effective carpet cleaning.

If you feel there is an actual fault with the switch we'd be happy to take some further details. Please contact the Dyson customer Helpline directly at 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), 1-877-397-6622 (CA) or 1800 239 766 (AU).
