SOURCE: Floor tool wheel will not revolve on dyson dc08 origin vacuum

Hi,

The wheels on the floor tool get junked up with hair pretty quickly, at least they did for our Dyson. The metal peg that holds them in has grooved teeth to prevent it coming out easily, but it will come out if you get a claw hammer and give it a good yank. I've just done this for ours, and it was clogged up bad.

This claw hammer pic is indicative only, to actually get it off, I had a foot on the main assembly, and both hands on the handle of the hammer, the peg is stuck quite strongly.

When you get the wheel out, it will probably look like this. (this is actually a bit cleaner than it may be, as I'd already removed as much hair as humanly possible with a knife before disassembly) Once you have the wheel out, remove the peg (can just tap it out with a hammer, you may need a punch to get it all the way out. Not having a punch, I used the handle of a drill chuck, but a screwdriver would also work :) )

Give it a wipe clean, the wheel should then rotate freely on the peg. Then put the wheel back on, and drive the peg in. I've left about a millimetre of play in the wheel so as not to have it stick to the side, and hence not work again. Also, test it in both carpet and wood floor mode before putting away tools, I remember changing modes and finding that all of a sudden the wheels were sticking out an extra few millimetres.

Hope that helps


Oh, and never mind the first picture showing the entire head assembly removed, it doesn't have to be. I actually removed it all before realizing that the wheels would just come off with a hammer.

Testimonial: "That was very helpful rollersmb. Your pics and instructions was worth a weight in gold.It is now fixed and my wife is very happy. Thanks. "

SOURCE: My Dyson 14 Animal seems to not have the suction

Hi its Darran at Dyson.

Firstly check that the brush bar control on the cleaner head is in the correct position. You may have switched the brush bar off the last time you used it or the dial may hav got knocked when you vacuumed under some low furniture.

If this is in the correct position but the brush bar is still not turning, switch the machine off and remove the soleplate by turning the 3 fasteners on the base of the machine and checking for blockages and remove any threads or hairs around the brush bar.

I would recommend washing the filter if it hasnt been done for a while.

You may find it useful to follow the blockage procedure and filter washing instructions in your user guide, however if you no longer have this available you download a replacement for free via the support section on our website at www.dyson.com.

I hope that this information is useful to you.

Kind regards
Darran

    How do I FIX MY DYSON DC14 VACUUM

    Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson.

    I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulty with your DC14 - it sounds like this spring may have come out of the clip which secures the Telescope Reach wand in place. Normally the spring will locate behind the clip, keeping the wand locked securely onto the main body of the vacuum until you remove it for above-floor cleaning.

    We'd be happy to talk you through replacing the spring - if you have further difficulty in doing this, you would also be able to order a replacement wand if needed.

    When you have your DC14 easily to hand, please give the Dyson Customer Helpline a call on 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), 1-877-397-6622 (CA) or 1800 239 766 (AU).

    We'll look forward to speaking with you.

    WHAT MODEL IS SERIAL NUMBER 151-UK-A32802

    Hi there Michelle, it's Jack at Dyson.

    Please note, spares and accessories for DC08 T will differ to the spares and accessories for the standard DC08 model. Floor tools, accessories and other parts for DC08 will not fit DC08 T, and vice versa.

    Dyson DC11 wand does not lock in place when extended for use, very frustrating!

    Hi Susan, it's Jack at Dyson.

    I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulty with your DC11's wand. It's important to make sure each section is extended fully - you should here the clips 'click' as they lock. If it doesn't seem to do this, it's worth checking to make sure none of the clips have been damaged in any way. If you can see damage, it may be necessary to replace the wand - you can order spares directly from www.dyson.com

    If you'd like some further help with this, you can reach our experts directly by calling the Dyson customer Helpline. Our numbers are 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), or 1-877-397-6622 (CA).

    Vacum cleaner has poor suction

    Hi there,

    I'm sorry to hear your DC08 isn't picking up as well as usual. This may be due to a blockage in the floor tool, wand or hose, and the filter may also need a wash.

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

    http://www.dyson.co.uk/support/dc08/dc08-standard/my-machine-is-not-working/machine-not-sucking-picking-up-as-well-as-usual/check-the-floor-tool

    In normal use, the filter needs to be washed at least once every 3-6 months, as shown in the video below. Use cold water without detergent, and allow at least 12 hours for the filter to dry completely somewhere warm before replacing it.

    I'm confident this will resolve the issue, but if you'd like any further assistance or advice, please call our customer Helpline on 0800 298 0298 (UK), or 1-866-693-9766 (US).

    The suction is only coming through the handle for using the attachments and i can't get it to suction from the bottom.

    Hi its Darran at Dyson.

    Sounds like you have a blockage in the extension tube or floor tool. With the extension tube removed from the wand and floor tool hold it up to the light. you should be able to see if it is blocked.

    We have online support at www.dyson.co.uk which you may find useful, or if you are still experiencing difficulties, please call our Helpline free on 0800 298 0298.
