Dyson DC 28 Brush Bar spins < 5 secs and then red light activates

I have cleared any & all obstructions (cat hair, rug fibers), visually checked hoses and cannot see any blockage. The unit performs well on bare floor. Is there an internal reset button? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Is the machine not turning on? There may be a push button circuit breaker on this machine but I doubt it. I have no personel experience with this specific device. Are you sure you have power going to the sweeper? All guards, filters and shields are in their proper place?

Let me know

Our DC41 is impossible to push on carpet. Is there an adjustment to do? Almost like there is too much suction.

See if the following information can help.

CARPETS OR HARD FLOORS

• The brush bar will always default to 'ON' (spinning) each time you switch the

appliance 'ON' and recline it for cleaning.

• The brush bar will not rotate when the appliance is upright.

• To switch the brush bar 'OFF' (e.g. for delicate rugs and hard floors):

- switch the appliance 'ON'

- recline the appliance

- press the brush bar 'ON/OFF' button - the brush bar will stop spinning.

• The brush bar will automatically stop if it becomes obstructed. See 'Brush bar -

clearing obstructions'.

• Before vacuuming your flooring, rugs and carpets, check the manufacturer's

recommended cleaning instructions.

• Some carpets may fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this

happens, we recommend vacuuming in 'hard floor' mode and consulting with

the flooring manufacturer.

• The brush bar on the appliance may damage some carpet types. If you are
unsure, turn 'OFF' the brush bar.

Why does my Dyson Dc-39 vacuum have good suction, but the beater bar barley turns?

Hi Greg, it's Jack at Dyson.

The brush bar in DC39's Triggerhead floor tool is driven by an airflow-powered turbine. If your vacuum has strong suction but the brush bar stalls on carpeting, it suggests something may be jamming the brush bar.

Follow the steps shown in our online support guide to remove the brush bar, clear any threads or hair from around the brush bar and endcap, and to check the cleaner head for other obstructions: http://www.dyson.co.uk/support/dc39/dc39-animal/maintaining-your-dyson-machine/dc38th-removing-blockages

If you continue to have difficulty with the brush bar after completing these checks, I'm sure we can help you further. Please call our experts on 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), 1-877-397-6622 (CA) or 1800 239 766 (AU). If a replacement Triggerhead floor tool is needed, we can also confirm if this is covered under your Dyson parts and labour guarantee.

Beater bar on dyson animal dc 41 not working

Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson.

DC41's brush bar is engineered to shut off for protection if something - for example, a shoelace or a rug fringe - jams it. You should be able to reset the machine once you've removed any threads, hair or debris from the brush bar and checked the cleaner head for obstructions:


I'm confident this will get your vacuum up and running again. Our experts are on hand to help if you would like any further advice, and if a repair or replacement part is needed we should be able to organise this under our free 5-year parts and labour guarantee. You can reach us on 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), 1-877-397-6622 (CA) or 1800 239 766 (AU).

Why is a red light flashing

Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson.

If your DC28's on/off switch is flashing, the machine is warning you that something is wrong. It's worth checking the cleaner head and brush bar are free of any threads, hair or other debris or obstructions, as shown in our video guide:


This should resolve the issue, but if you'd like some further advice from our experts after giving this a try, you can reach us by calling 1-866-693-9766 (US) or 1-877-397-6622 (CA).

Dyson dc 47 head won't turn on

Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson.

If the brush bar in your DC47's carbon fibre turbine head isn't rotating it's worth checking it's set correctly. You can turn off the brush bar manually to clean delicate rugs, and it's possible the brush control may have been accidentally activated:

6417c079-7048-4bbe-93ea-5b7c298c8655.jpg
It's also a good idea to check that the brush bar is free of any threads or hair, and that there are no obstructions in the cleaner head which could be jamming it:

This should resolve the issue, but if you'd like some further advice from our experts when you've given this a try, please give us a call on 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US) or 1800 239 766 (AU).

Dyson dc28 selector pad won't light up and can't adjust height

Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson.

I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulty with your DC28. It's worth following the steps shown in our video guide above - the on/off switch should flash to indicate if there's a problem, but the video guide will help you check the cleaner head and brush bar for any obstructions. Make sure the brush bar is clear of any threads or hair.

If you find you do need some additional advice after you've given this a try, please email [email protected] with your full contact details and the serial number of your machine. If a repair is needed, our experts will be able to confirm if this is covered under the machine's 5-year warranty.

Also te red light is blinking on my dc 28 animal vacuum

Hi Judi, it's Jack at Dyson.

I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulty with your DC28. If the red on/off is flashing, this indicates that something may be jamming the brush bar. To resolve this, please follow the steps shown in the video attached. Make sure there are no obstructions in the cleaner head, and carefully remove any threads or hair from around the brush bar.

You may also want to try raising the brush bar one setting higher using the hight selector pad, as the brush bar will shut itself off if you have it set too low for the carpet pile you're cleaning.

If you'd like some further help after you've given this a try, please email us directly at [email protected] with your contact details. One of our experts will be in touch as soon as possible to run you through some further troubleshooting.

Best wishes,

Dyson dc23 canister rug attachment loses power after about 5 seconds, push red button and restarts for less time. After 3 or 4 trys of it working for seconds it just doesn't turn on again. Reall

Hi Elizabeth, it's Jack at Dyson.

I'm glad to hear you've been in touch already and we're able to resolve the issue under your machine's 5-year guarantee.

In most cases, the issue you've described will be caused by something jamming the brush bar. It can usually be resolved by clearing the brush bar of any debris, threads or hair, and checking the Motorhead for any obstructions, as shown in the video below.

If you'd like further help and advice with your machine at any point, please get in touch with us.

Best wishes,
