Replacement Vacuum Cleaner Batteries for Dyson V6 http://www.drillbattery.com.au/orderbattery.php/dyson_V6_battery.html

after you have washed the filter are you putting it back wet?
if you are that could be the problem.

Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson.

It's quick and easy to remove DC59's clear bin, which will allow you to remove any fluff or debris from the mesh shroud using a soft brush or dry cloth.

Press the red bin base release catch once, as if you were emptying the machine. Then with the bin base still open, press the same red catch down firmly a second time to disengage and remove the clear bin.


When the clear bin has been removed, you can wipe the bin and the rubber seals with a damp cloth to remove any clinging dust. Make sure all parts are completely dry before reassembling the machine. Please do not wash or submerge the clear bin or cyclone pack - this can cause damage to your DC59 not covered under guarantee.

I hope this helps, but if you'd like any additional guidance you're welcome to call the Dyson Customer Helpline on 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), 1-877-397-6622 (CA) or 1800 239 766 (AU).

Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson.

From what you've described, it sounds as if you may be using your DC59 set to Boost mode. This will provide 6 minutes of highest suction for really stubborn dirt, but for regular vacuuming normal mode should work effectively.

To switch back to normal mode, ensure your machine is fully charged (this will take a maximum of 3.5 hours), then hold down the on/off trigger, and at the same time, press the illuminated Boost button on the rear of the machine.
