The plastic it screws into is stripped. Fill the hole with quick set Epoxy and install the screw before it set completely..

The hose is blocked, so you have very little suction at the end. The vacuum in the hose is pulling the hose shorter. With the vacuum turned off, push a broom handle through the hose to dislodge the blockage.

Hi Fran, it's Jack at Dyson.

Like most Dyson vacuums, DC40 will shut off for protection if it starts to overheat. This will often be due to a blockage - the filters may also need a wash. The machine should reset itself automatically after it's had time to cool down - however, please follow the steps below to prevent this from reoccurring.

To check for blockages, please follow each of the checkpoints shown in our online Support guides: http://www.dyson.co.uk/support/dc40/dc40-animal-tft/maintaining-your-dyson-machine/removing-blockages-from-the-main-body

In normal use, both filters should be washed at least once a month using cold water without detergent. Allow at least 24 hours for both filters to dry completely before replacing them in the machine:


I'm confident removing any blockages and washing both filters will resolve the issue.
