Belt on turb0 head is slipping

Most likely a belt has broken or slipped off inside the head. Look for screws or clips that hold the bottom plate on. Get inside the head and you'll likely see exactly what's wrong.

Dyson has the manuals for some of their products on their product support page. See http://www.dyson.co.uk/support/dc05/dc05-absolute and look on the right hand side of the page. The direct link to the manual is http://www.dyson.co.uk/medialibrary/Files/Dyson/Support/downloads/UK/floorcare/Manuals/dc05_uk_manual_120710%20pdf.pdf . If you have a different DC05 model start here: http://www.dyson.co.uk/support/cylinders.aspx and select your specific vacuum. (The manual appears to be the same.)

I hope this helps.

please go to http://www.dyson.com/support/help.asp?article=32&product=DC22-MOTORHEAD-US
please select the model exactly, and proceed with common sense for troubleshooting problem and fix it.
You must shure to see the videos, and see if the parts installed is o.k or are not. You must test the belt is broken, worn, or bad installed. test the motor for brush, bearing and lubrication, and finllay the thermal fuse inside or thermal switch.
God bless you

Hi David,

Unfortunately the DC05's Motorhead is supplied as a complete assembly, so we're unable to offer individual components to repair your Motorhead. If you'd like to order a replacement Motorhead assembly, you can do so via our Helpline on 0800 298 0298, or through our online store:

It might have broken the belt. Here is a link for the instructions on how to change the belt and a link for the belt you need:

DC07 Belt Changing Instructions

Replacement belts for DC07

throw it away, any time a plastic vacuum gets melted or warped in any way they usually never work the same again, and tend to get worse over time.

Call the Dyson Helpline, if your machine is still under warranty they will send you a new belt. You can call them again once you've received the new belt and they'll also tell you how to remove the old belt and put the new one in. I could explain how to do it now but it is best if you get the belt first :)

Unfortunately you need a new Bin Assembly. you have inadvertently thrown your Bin Inner away when you have emptied your machine. You can get these from either www.espares.co.uk or www.dyson.co.uk. There is only a couple pounds difference between the two suppliers. i've just paid £20 plus £3 delivery.

What tool do I need to open a Dyson DC05??
Posted by fixdaddy on Apr 24, 2008
I have a DC05 vacuum cleaner with a few minor problems which I am sure could
easily be fixed if I could open it up. The problem is that the fasteners
(presumably screw heads) are recessed so deeply in the plastic moldings
that I cannot reach them with any tools to find out whether I have the right
one.
Has anyone on this vacuum ever successfully serviced a DC05 to know what
tool is needed so I could buy one.
Thanks in advance

How to remove wheel to access cable storage area? Then ... How to replace electric cable.

Hello,
I would advise you to ALWAYS to FIRST UNPLUG YOUR VACUUM before beginning any service procedure.
I checked with some of my contacts in the vacuum business and they told me that it may not be a United States vacuum and it might be a Canadian or European vacuum and may not be customer friendly to service, if you have a contact with a MAC or Snap On dealer or a metric auto store – show them the screw and they might have something to fit or release the screw head, as per the removing of the wheel and replacing the electric cable, check with your local vac dealer or you may want to check with the Dyson dealer website and or phone # listed below:
