SOURCE: Dyson DC07 burning smell.

sounds like it is on the way out this may be because 1, you need to clean the filter cos when its dirty it stop air from going around the motor witch makes it get hot and overheat 2, also if you allow the bin to get to full this will also stop the motor from geting air to it so a good clean on your filter and bin will allow air to the motor then no overheating should accur

SOURCE: My dyson dc14 has a strong burning smell

A DC 14 has two belts - one that connects the motor ourput to the clutch mechanism (the dial that lets you turn off the brush rotation completely is part of the clutch mechanism), and another that connects the clutch to the brush bar.
Unfortuneatley, the one that connects the motor to the clutch is hidden under a plastic cover so is very difficult to check.
With the machine running, and NOT in the upright position (i.e. as if you were vacuuming a floor), make sure the brush bar is actually rotating. If it isnt, you need to check both belts and the clutch. Due to the cover being held by three "Torx" screws, one of which is very difficult to get at, this isnt easy.

If the brush bar is rotating, then the burning is an indication the motor is about to fail. Motor replacement is possible depending how good your DIY skills are, and again you'll need "Torx" drivers to dismantle it. Website www.dysonmedic.com has some very good info.

SOURCE: Dyson DC 25 Dyson Ball animal. The bottom brush

Two things you can do. 1- Remove the brush as if you were going to change the drive belt for it. Clean the brush as best you can and spray some WD40 on the hard rubber/plastic pieces at both ends of the brush. Rotate the pieces to work the WD40 into the space between the pieces and the brush axle. 2- If you have one available, as long as the brush is off, change the belt.
This should get your unit back in operation. If you find this solution helpful, I would appreciate a Thumbs Up from you. Thank you. Paul

The big ball on the right side came off and I can't get it to stay on, what can I do? It's on a DC41

The ball shell screws on the bolt sticking out of the side of the vacuum. Remove the little cover and twist the ball shell back on the bolt. Sometimes he bolt breaks off and needs to be replaced.

I have a Dyson DC 41 and the right side of the ball (the non-filter side) won't turn freely; it still turns but feels stuck and the filter side has no issues. Is there a way to remove the ball shell...

Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson.

The issue you've described sounds very unusual. Both halves of the ball shell include bearings, and should rotate freely on the axle. If you can't see anything obvious that could be jamming it, I would encourage you to contact us directly for some help.

Just to make you aware, dismantling the machine any further than is shown in the User guide could void your Dyson warranty, so we would advise you not to try to remove the ball shell without contacting us for advice.

When you have your DC41 easily to hand, please call the Dyson Customer Helpline on 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), 1-877-397-6622 (CA) or 1800 239 766 (AU). Our experts will talk you through some simple troubleshooting checks, and may be able to resolve the issue right over the phone. If not, they can discuss your options for repair.

We'll look forward to speaking with you.

How do i attach a cover to the dyson 41

Hey this is Jeremy with Crucial Vacuum,

To attach the cover on your Dyson DC41, first lay it flat on the ground with the handle facing up. Next, place the cover over your filter on the roller-ball located near the brush-roll of the vacuum. Rotate the cover clockwise until you hear 3 clicks and you'll be all set to continue vacuuming.

To help you see this visually please refer to the link below. Specifically, you can look at page 6 under section B.

DC15 Vac comes on but the head will nmot come on. Local Vac shop said circuit board was burn up,can I repair myself. where do I get parts

HighnTools had posted this solution - try it.
I have finally fixed my sister's dyson dc 15 beater bar problem. It was just 2 tiny broken wires connect to circuit board lead to the beater bar. The wires broke where they go through the black rubber gommet. You need a torx screwdriver tx 15 to remove 2 plastic covers to access the wires. When looking at the front of the vacuum, the gray covers located on the right side of the vacuum. 1 big cover with a black rubber gasket and other small gray cover is on the rotating ball area.

I hope this solves your problem.

Same here...

You sucked up something that stopped the brush from turning. This made the belt slip causing a burning smell.
