Hi its Darran at Dyson.

With the machine switched off, press the re-set switch on the side of the head, making sure you push the button in as far as you can. When you switch the machine back on and lower it into the vacuuming position, the brush bar should start turning.

If this doesn't rsolve the problem, please contact our Helpline on 0800 298 0298, between the hours of 7am - 10pm, 7 days a week.

Kind regards

    What Darran didn't mention above is the likelihood of the brushbar motor being burned out. There is a short article explaining about this here:http://dysonmedic.co.uk/dyson-dc24-brush...

    In addition to the above solution, I found that connecting and then disconnecting the hose made a difference. The clear plastic mechanism that gets switched during this operation is a bit temperamental - have found that at other times. If the reset switch doesn't do anything, try the hose connect/disconnect solution.

Hi, it's Jim from Crucial Vacuum!

One of the main reasons most brush rollers begin to get jammed and eventually not turn would be due to a clog. Turn off the vacuum and flip it on its side. Is there any noticeable debris,such as hair or large carpet fibers? Clear out any debris and try rotating the brush roll once around to see what else may fall loose. Take note of how the bristles look too. Are they worn down and loose? If so it may be time to change your brush roll.

Another item to check would be your vacuums belt. If this is loose as well it can effect your vacuums brush roll as well as your vacuums motor. Both are simple and easy fixes and can be done in just a few minutes.

Should you need any replacement parts for your Dyson in the future please feel free to order direct from Crucial Vacuum with free shipping and an exclusive 10% coupon for Fixya.com readers, use code: FIXYA10

Another helpful site would be our Youtube Channel. We offer a wide variety of tutorials for replacing vacuum parts including brush rollers.

SOURCE: The brush on my dyson ball DC24 will not turn on-

That noise you're hearing is the clutch, which is expensive to replace and difficult to change.

If you want, you can still use the vacuum for bare floors but that noise will always be there. Using it for anything else won't work.

New Dyson DC24 ball vac 2nd time using brush stopped rotating when caught on short rug fringe/ no mat`l caught

Hi there,

Your DC24 is equipped with a sensor which shuts off the brush bar if something jams it. You can reset the machine by following the steps shown in the video below. You may also want to refer to our online Support guide:

http://www.dyson.co.uk/support/dc24/dc24-multi-floor/my-machine-is-not-working/my-brushbar-is-not-rotating/stabiliser-check

Please note, the brush bar will never rotate when the machine is standing upright, so make sure you recline your DC24 into the vacuuming position before testing it.
If you'd like any further assistance or advice, please give our customer Helpline a call on 0800 298 0298 (UK), or 1-866-693-9766 (US).

DC24 Brush bar will not turn

Hi George,

I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulties with your DC24. Your machine is equipped with a sensor which shuts off the brushbar if something jams it. After you've checked the cleaner head for obstructions, and removed any threads or hair from around the brushbar, you should be able to reset the machine as shown in the video below.

You may also want to refer to our online Support guide:

http://www.dyson.co.uk/support/dc24/dc24-multi-floor/my-machine-is-not-working/my-brushbar-is-not-rotating/stabiliser-check

This should resolve the issue, but if you'd like any further assistance or advice, please give our customer Helpline a call on 0800 298 0298 (UK), or 1-866-693-9766 (US).

Ball makes a clicking sound and brush isn't turning

Check the brush. That could be the problem. Check the belt also. Your brush roller may need to be lubed or even replaced.Turn it over and wipe all the black residue off the bottom of it.------ Either the brush is getting clogged and blocked by dirt, hairs etc etc and that needs to be cleaned or the brush bar motor is got faulty and needs to be replaced.------- You can yourself replace this motor,m if its not running.------- To get instructions to disassemble the vacuum and replace the motor, click this link below :--- http://howtobyme.blogspot.com/2011/08/brush-not-turning-on-dyson-ball-dc24.html----------- This will-help.Thanks.Helpmech.

We have a Dyson ball vacum the brush stopped working it is no longer turning

There is a known issue with the DC24 brushbar motors. First thing to do is try the reset button. That is located on the left of the brush bar unit as you look at the machine. It is red. Press it and see if the brush bar works when the machine is reclined then. If it doesn't, you most likely need a brushbar motor. You can get one from here: Dyson DC24 brushbar motor.

On my dyson DC24 the beater bar attachment is not working.

Hi its Darran at Dyson.

You may to simply re-set the brush bar. The cleaner head will automatically switch the brush bar off to protect the motor should the brush bar become obstructed. To re-set this, switch the machine off, stand it upright and locate the red re-set switch on the side of the cleaner head. Push this re-set switch in as far as you can and then switch the machine back on. Once lowered into the vacuuming position, the brush bar should start turning.

If this doesnt resolve the issue, please contact our Helpline on 0800 298 0298 (UK) or 1866MYDYSON (US).

Kind regards
Darran
