b. Changed fuse NO change.
c. Cleaned filter as per normal NO change.
d. Not managed to remove cover on wheel to check connection not easy
-   My DC05 was working fine and just 'conked' out during my vacuuming the lounge. It will not switch on and I have no idea what the problem is. It hasn't given me any problems in the 4 years that I have had it. Please help

My friends Dyson DC05 was loosing suction and then it stopped altogether one day. When she took the filters out there was black soot in them so it was obvious that the motor had burnt out. I think this happened because she wasn't cleaning the filters regularly (go do yours now!) I replaced the motor myself and wrote a guide with photo's at www.tasweb.org
We have a DC08 it looks very similar to yours. The wife just did the same thing. She pulls the power cord out of the wall by the cord not the plug. It opens up one of the wires in the power cord. This is the second time it's happened. I opened up the vacuume cleaner and checked the cables and motor and all is well, but from the plug to the connectors in the cable re-wind mechanism is open circuit. So there is a break inside one of the wires, and I have to replace the power cord.

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.

we have a dyson dc 07 animal the machine was working fine then switched off after returning to the machine minutes later it wouldnt switch on, i removed on off switch cover and used a short piece of wire across the brown wires flicked the wall switch and it worked, aha i thought faulty switch aquired a new one to no avail and now even the short piece of wire trick doesnt work, has the motor died do you think, it wasnt over heating or making strange noises prior to refusing to work

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.

I have had this vacuum for 3 yrs. and have not changed any parts yet. Can this still be fixed? What are the steps that I have to do to diagnose?
