Dyson hose is stuck - looks like someone jammed it in and it wasn't quite lined up correctly. Any ideas on how I can get it out?

Suction stops when there is either something blocking inside the hose or you vacuumed a sharp object that created a hole or tears in the hose or bottom transfer line.

You will need to look very carefully at the hose to see is something is jammed up also turn the unit over and look at the looping hoselike section to see if there is a tear or jam. if its a jam carefully remove the object. if its a tear you will need to get the part from Dyson to replace it. since the unit is new you can also send it in for repair. depending on whether the unit is new or refurbished you should have from 1-5 years.

Hi, this is Jim with Crucial Vacuum,

Detach the hose and stretch it out completely, if the sock is in a hard to reach place use a broom handle to push it out. Be careful to mind the edges of the hose you don't want to cause a tear, which would lead to poor suction.

Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson.

A jammed DC25 wand may mean that the hose was twisted when the wand was last replaced on the machine. This can prevent the wand from extending or retracting fully. The video I've attached shows you the simplest way to resolve this.

If you would like any further advice from our experts, you can reach the Dyson Customer Helpline by calling 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), or 1-877-397-6622 (CA).

Thanks, sonic boom electronics, for the idea to shove the garden hose up there. Our hose is nice and narrow and it worked perfectly! I pushed it through one end and started feeling resistance, and kept on shoving and when the hose reached the other end, it was pushing out the plastic bag. Whew!

Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson.

I'm sorry to hear your DC28 doesn't seem to be working correctly. It sounds as though the change-over valve may be jammed - this diverts the suction to the hose when you remove the wand, and back to the cleaner head when you replace the wand on your machine.

You may find a blockage is jamming the valve - you can check for this using our online Support guide:

Hi Edwin,

I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulties with your DC07. If the wand won't extend from the hose, a blockage in the hose or U-bend may be jamming it it place. To check for this, please follow the steps shown in our online support guide:

Hi there,

Sorry to hear you're having difficulties with your new DC25. You should find that although the hose and wand may feel a little stiff to begin with, they should loosen up with use. You can expedite the process by stretching out the hose to it's fullest extent whilst someone else holds the cleaner in place.

If you have any further questions about using or maintaining your Dyson, please get in touch with us directly so one of our experts can provide the assistance you need. You can call us free on 08002980298 (UK), or 1866MYDYSON (US).

Kind regards,

very simple fix. took me a good hour to figure this out but... first take off your brushhead. via popping the clip so all u have is the circle showing then turn on the vacum using the hose. put the hose over the hole where the brush head goes.. and give it a shake etc to losen up whatever it is u got stuck up in that hose. mine was xmas tree/cat hair mix. which is the death of any vacum lol.. but that noise on the top of the can is cause by suction loss. just use the hose to **** out whatever u got jammed in there and use your finger if u need too. and then no more canister noise.

not familiar with that vacum but it sounds like a factory defect look at it real good something is clamped on there that shouldn't be.

You have to refit the internal hose. This is the small clear hose at the bottom of the machine. Pull it off where it sits next to the wheel first - make sure that the gray piece of rubber is still on the hose - next, twist the hose off where it connects to the brushbar - inspect the hose and make sure you don't have any holes in it - put it back on by twisting it onto the side of the brushbar first - then line the gray piece of plastic end up with the hole next to the wheel and push and twist it back over the whole. Give it a small tug to ensue that it is on properly. Test the vacuum. If that didn't solve it you have a blockage somewhere down the line and you may have to wash the filter if you haven't done so in the past 3-6 months.
