Top 20 Dyson DC14 Animal Bagless Upright Cyclonic Vacuum Questions & Answers

You will need to follow the power down to the motor and insure it is getting full voltage. If so you , may need a new motor. Be sure to check the common wires too. If you have a bad spot in any of the common wires the motor will not run.

I'm not sure what you mean by recline and vacuum positions. Normally when the handle is in the upright position to use the tools and hose the brush roll does not turn. When you recline the handle into the floor vacuuming position the brush spins. If you were able to remove the brushroll an reinstall it the brush roll belt is likely very stretched out because otherwise it is very difficult to put the bush roll back in with out using the belt change tool. This can cause the brushroll to spin but stop spinning when when it hits the carpet because he belt is too loose. Belts must be very tight to spin the brush roll in he carpet. There is also another belt that you can't see under the clutch cover. It becomes stretched out also. The belts need to be replace every few years as do any stretch belts. The hard part about changing belts on your model is they are inside the clutch, it's easier to replace the whole clutch.

Check the belts, it sound like you have a broken belt or a belt you didn't not reconnect

Often times when people bring a vac in for repairs and say it has no suction at the floor it has good suction but not good agitation. Make sure the belts in the clutch are new (some people are selling used clutches with stretched out belts) and the brush roll is good. If the agitation from the brush roll is not good it will not pick up even light soils like hair and lint.

There's a spring in the switch to give it "snap action" on or off. The spring may be broken or out of place. They are not repairable, need new one.

Dyson will tell you to remove the gaskets from the cleaning head. I have 2 Dysons, both of which became impossible to push after new carpet was installed. I was skeptical, but it worked.

The armature is bad, you need to replace the whole motor. IF the armature has worn down where the brushes contact it, then it is continuously shorting out when it runs.

Good evening Amy You can see the full manual for the DC14 here https://www.dyson.com/medialibrary/Files/Dyson/Support/downloads/US/Floorcare/manuals/dc14_opmanual_usa2007%20pdf.pdf The troubleshooting section addresses this problem on several fronts, though the executive summary boils down to:

1. Re-check that there aren't obstructions in the lines.
2. Make sure that all of those bends and junctions are fully snapped into place (this has been the one that gets me the most with my DC-07 after I clean it)
3. Make sure that the filters are clean, clean them if necessary, or replace them
4. Since you mention replacing the brush. make sure the brush is snapped in flush with the soleplate. In my experience, the eccentric assemblies at the end of the brushbar holding it into the head are really easy to get mounted not-quite-right for alignment, leading to the soleplate not closing properly. Take another look to see if one or both of them are mis-aligned.
5. make sure the vacuum is reclined. Full upright shifts suction to the handle for the accessories.
6. Make sure that the accessory hose isn't clogged and doesn't have a hole in it. You'll want to stretch it out fully to check the walls for holes. I hope this helps! Good Luck D

Pretty consistently in the manuals, the procedure is to put your foot on the lower unit, and pull the handle backward. Dyson says this is the method. Their manual is here: https://www.dyson.com/medialibrary/Files/Dyson/Support/downloads/US/Floorcare/manuals/dc14_opmanual_usa2007%20pdf.pdf and it is mentioned on page 6 (at least as the PDF viewer lists pages. Good luck!
