It your Dyson no longer charging then it is most likely the battery and the charger needs replacing. Replacing these parts normally fixes this issue.

If you have a DC voltmeter and can see the contacts in the charger, you may be able to see it the charger has a output. But with the newer electronics for battery charging, the battery may need to be in the charger to get a reading. My guess is you do have a bad charger.
If your DC44 won't run when you hold the trigger down, but displays a solid green light, this indicates that the battery is out of power. If this continues after you've connected the machine to the charger cord for at least 5.5 hours to recharge fully, it suggests that there could be a fault with the charger, battery or main body.
When you have your DC44 to hand I would encourage to you call the Dyson Customer Helpline so our experts can talk you through some simple diagnostic checks. Once we're clear which part is affected, we can confirm if a replacement is covered under your Dyson warranty.

I'm sorry to hear about the difficulty you've experienced with your DC44 Animal. In order to diagnose the cause of the issue and determine the correct resolution, we'd need to take you through some quick troubleshooting checks when you have your machine to hand.
When you have a moment, please give our experts a call on 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), 1-877-397-6622 (CA) or 1800 239 766 (AU). If a replacement part is needed, we can also confirm if this is covered under our 2-year parts and labour guarantee.
I'm sorry to hear your DC44 Animal doesn't seem to be working correctly. If the green LED indicator on the machine lights up, but the machine itself doesn't run, this suggests the battery is flat. It could mean that it's not recharging correctly when connected to the docking station.
It would be worth temporarily disconnecting and removing the charger cord from the docking station and plugging it directly into the machine - the machine should recharge fully within 3.5 hours. If the machine then works as normal the charger cord may not have been corrected fitted to the docking station.
