My hose will not come out and extend. If I can

Sounds like the exhaust side is clogged. Remember a vacuum pulls air into the cavity, but for it to work properly it also has to be able to exhaust the same amount of air it takes in. If the exhaust is blocked it will continue to suck air inside and collapse on itself, which is why your hoses are getting shorter and harder to move. Check the exhaust system for any blockages, perhaps the hole you taped was the exhaust.

the wand ? if the wand won't go back into the hose, sprinkle baby powder on it and see if that helps. The inside of Dyson hoses get sticky after a few years.

Hi there,

Sorry to hear you're having difficulties with your DC25 hose. If the wand takes a lot of force to remove, it's likely that the hose was twisted when you replaced it on the cleaner after the last time you used it.

I don't recommend this for the homeowner. Take the hose in to your nearest AERUS store. It is just too easy to damage the pins and rings putting the handle back on. If you insist on trying, remove the little torx screws under the little buttons on the top side of the handle. Good LUCK and be careful. Don't force anything.

You may have a colg in the power nozzle of hose. Disconnect the hose and drop a quarter through it.

Usually a plugged hose can be cleared using a broom handle, if you can force the blockage through, if not as previously suggested a coat hanger attached to the broom handle (duck tape will do) straighten out hanger so it can be used like a cork screw to screw into the blockage and pull it out, socks,underwear and pantyhose are the usual suspects!

the side that is dragging needs the roller that the brushes are on ,to be precisly pushed back up in it's place,it will take a few minutes and it will not slide back in place easily just use a little force as for the hose diagram, bissell.com,enter model number and go to hoses.

Yes, it is a ground wire. When you put it back together, make sure that the two halves of the hose handle are holding the wire up against the metal. I just had one apart the other day for the first time and if I recall correctly, the wire goes near the center for reassembly. Hope this helps!

take everything back out and make sure everything looks fine, then carefully put it back in do not force anything or it will bind up.
