My dyson V6 keeps pulsing on and off - Dyson Vacuums

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

your filter is clogged inside. just fit new one

Hi, this happens when the PCB detects a blockage. Take the filter out and then try it. If it no longer goes for only 5 seconds then your filter needs washed. Wash the filter in your washing machine.

You have a failing battery pack.

This could be a battery issue, when the filter is in place the power required to run it is higher, so a weak battery cause the problem

if fitting/ removing the filter makes a change ( filters no nothing but filter air), then the problem is the filter
if a new filter makes no difference to the problem , take it in to a sevice agent for repair

there might be a way to open the vac but chances could be the digital pulse type motor maybe ruined dyson may or may not repair the vac but you can try calling them

take it back for a warranty check / replacement

Hi Sally, it's Jack at Dyson.

Your V6 machine will pulse to let you know if something is preventing airflow from passing through the machine. This could occur if there's a blockage in the floor tool, wand or bin inlet. It's also worth checking the bin inlet flap can open and close freely, and isn't jammed shut with debris.

Our video guide should help get your machine up and running again:

Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson.

Your Dyson V6 vacuum is designed to make a pulsing noise to warn you when something is preventing airflow from passing through the machine. This could be a blockage in the motorised floor tool, wand or bin inlet. It's also a good idea to check the bin inlet flap can open and close freely, and isn't jammed in place.

Our video support guide will walk you through the simple troubleshooting checks:


I'm confident that removing any blockages and checking the bin inlet flap will resolve the issue with your machine. But if you would like any further help, just give the Dyson Customer Helpline a call on 1-866-693-9766 (US), 1-877-397-6622 (CA) 1800 239 766 (AU), or 0800 298 0298 (UK).
