Yes! Go to www.dyson.com/support. Click on "using your dyson", then (next window) on "select your model", then (next window) on "select your model" again, then (next window) on "DC user guide". And there you are, you've got a copy of the user manual.

SOURCE: I have the same problem as steve967 The dyson

Dear Michael_Stad,

I am going to sound like a broken record but here is my same answer to another person with the same problem.

I have I had the same problem with my Dyson DC16, where it only runs for a few seconds at a time with each trigger pull. My husband called Dyson (Canada) and without hassle they shipped us a replacement part which I just received this morning. The replacement part sent to us is: DC16 Main Body with Rating Plate. It is also under warranty for 1 year. The great customer service makes up for the flaw in the machine. Also, Dyson is aware of the problem. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: My dyson DC16 constantly shuts off even when

Hi its Darran at Dyson.

From your description of the problem, it sounds as though there is a problem with the battery.

Your DC16 will have been supplied with a 2 year guarantee. If it still within this period, please contact our Helpline on 0800 298 0298. However if your machine is no longer covered, a replacement battery can be purchased via our website at www.dyson.co.uk/store.

Kind regards

SOURCE: my dyson dc16 is not holding a charge

I had that SAME problem! It ran for just a few seconds after having a full charge. Cleaned the filters, tried everything. Just needed a new battery...

My Dyson DC16 hand vac's battery finally went out at 4 years, which is about right. I didn't want to pay Dyson $75.00 for a new one!

I found a good deal on ebay for new batteries that didn't break the bank!
That's all it needed.

It's good to have my hand vacuum back! I missed it!

Rock on Dyson.......

Dyson DC16 keeps quitting.

Does red "charge status" lights pulsate when it quits?
If so the problem is with the filter. Access the main air filter (usually blue with white filter) , remove filter and note a small cylindrical metal insert -- this a magnet that is sensed to "insure" that the filter is in place before using. Fix: 1) try bending the filter so magnet makes better contact with sensor (sensor is buried in the plastic); 2) (this one worked for me) wad up some paper and carefully place behind just that part of filter to force the filter closer to the sensor -- this will require some patience but it can be done.

My dyson shuts off after just a few seconds of run time.

Make sure the charger is operating. Then if it is, look at a failed battery.

Dc30 shuts off after a few seconds

the photos are not all in the right order but this should help you find and bypass the defective switch. This fixes the charging problem.64c19635-c6bb-4e54-b8c5-14054071153c.jpgb9fc01be-e0d8-42ce-b31c-0fa57081a754.jpgd02d134c-bbfd-40c0-b35c-6188ce844f2f.jpga1064be3-ad07-4fe8-8950-2f70de1c5a5b.jpgbb9438ec-14c3-4160-b47b-c9d72d418648.jpg

Dyson DC16 keeps cutting of after 2to3 seconds tried removing the small three leg resister and joint A and B together but still didn't work can any one help with this problem

Most likely it is your battery. the lith ion batteries die out over time. That is on of the symptoms of an old battery. Did you call Dyson? They have a 5 year warranty

All the three lights are blinking and no power

The pre-filter has a magnet line up to a switch. Make sure the filter is in right.

I got a Dyson DC16 handheld cordless. Nothing happens when I press the trigger. When I take the canister off, I try and move the black "fan" thing but it won't budge. Should It move? How do I get the motor...

hi you have to take all the switch to bits which allows the cable to be free so you can get the motor out which is still tricky but i dont think this is the problem i think this dyson is a bad design its got printed circuits in that could be the problem i think mr dyson want to go back to the drawing room with this one. p.s ive got two they start up when they feel like it.

I have a dyson hand held that shuts off after just a few seconds of run time. we keep it charged but to no avail. Can someone suggest a solution.

yeap..... i just found a fix for this ,, its mad how easy it is to fix as well...and it works 100%,,,
now dyson implemented a filter magnetic switch if u take your filter off you will see a small magnet in the corner,, u will notice where the magnet is behind it is rased platic,, now,,that the problem on the main board the transistor that picks up magentic signal from the filter is dud,!
dont ask me why it happens,, its a pain i know.,.
now take off collection pot for dust now take battery off.

now where the serial number is theres 2 hex screws that need taking out..

now u will see a small pcb board.. remove with one tiny security screw holding it in,, once removed pull both red plug off thats the digital motor plug.. and white plug which is vcc..to battery,, once u have done this pull the board down and back gently. as there is a long bit of board that goes up the back of the dyson plastic be very carefull pull this out.. now the long and thin pcb board that is hidden is what we need there is a tiny transistor,,, we need to remove this carefully..once removed,, we solder a thin wire from 2 point A+C need to be soldered together with a thin piece of wire, it will not harm the motor.. as long as u keep it clean,,

these points corolate to the transistor,,

A

B C

SOLDER AND A+C WITH A FINE PIECE OF WIRE NOW,, AND WALLAH... fixed put it all back together again,,, charge the battery,, and your away,,, working again,, if not u have other faults.. but 99% fix this with flashing red led,,,!!
