It just doesnt want to turn on. I switched it off, one minute later I tried to switch it back on and it didnt work. I have washed the filters, checked the tubes and everything seems ok.......any ideas? thank you, Lucie
-   Working well then moved location.
Action taken:
a. Checked socket to ensure it's working and all fine.
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 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.
