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

      This is (unfortunately) common with DC16 --- check to see if the red lights flash when it stops -- this is the "no filter" warning shut off. I have been living with this problem for about 3 years. Fix: remove the main filter (blue flexible plastic thing) -- note the small cylindrical metal magnet near the bottom --- it is not close enough to the sensor (sensor is buried in plastic body) . Try folding some paper and wedge it behind the filter to force the magnet closer to the sensor -- this can be done but required a bit of patience.

      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.

      My Dyson DC16 usually shuts down after about 5 to 10 seconds. However, occasionally it will run for 45 seconds to 1 minute before shutting down. It is left on charge permanently. I have checked the...

      Your battery is losing voltage too quick. It has probably developed a 'memory'. Dyson claims that their handheld has the best suction out of all the handhelds out there. In order to maintain that claim the circuit board will shut off power to the motor when the voltage drops below adequate charge for full suction.
      We need someone who can teach us to bypass that part of the circuit so it won't cut power to the motor or you need to get a new battery.
      Shorting the battery like an Aircraft battery then re-charging won't fix it.

      My DC 16 will only run for a second each trigger pull. The battery is fully charged, it has plenty of suction, just wont run for more than a second. I cleaned the filters.

      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.
