-   I had a similar problems but nothing obvious so took the cyclone apart and cleaned it thoroughly now its good as new. see my solution under DYSON DC08 -   natdo
your vacuum is not picking up because the infamous dyson has lost suction "which they claim to not do" first you have to make sure the filters are taken out and cleaned, then check the hose and make ure there are no clogs in there. usually they are see through so they will be visable. also make sure there is no debre blocking the cones on the machine

I appear to have suction but, when vacuuming there is not enough suction to pick up all the dirt. I have checked all the trouble shooting tips below and the problem is persisting. There also seems to be some overheating and "blowing" from the where where the coil is located.I assume you have confirmed that the hose is not partially blocked at all. With it removed from the machine, try running a small round stone from one end to another to see if it is totally clear.Secondly, the filter on top of the machine (the one you see when you empty it), this needs to be cleaned/washed on a regular basis - follow the instructions on the filter.Thirdly, does the lack of suction apply to all the attachments? If it is the carpet attachment, this does become clogged up with hair etc winding itself round the brush and the internal drive unit in the head, thus slowing it down. Also dirt and dust cloggs it up inside the head as well. It is posible to take the head to bits to clean it. Thanks

I have cleaned filters (and replaced) Checked for blockages in the hoses. Cleaned the beater bar--It will not get the pet hair off the carpet--is there a repair for this or do I need to replace the vacuum? It has plently of power and the suction from the hose is good just won't pick up dirt from carpet.

I have a brand new Dyson and the canister is full and it will not open up. I feel like the parts have been suctioned together and need a way to get them apart and clean out the canister.
