If your suction is ok for normal cleaning and bad for just the hand tools then you have a blockage in the flexible hose or the "u pipe" at the bottom of the flexible hose. Un-clip the u pipe and check it for blockage. Un-clip the hose from the vacuum and you should be able to look through it when letting it hang straight down.

The most likely problem is something was not put back together properly in the clutch. You can move the belts by hand with the clutch out of the machine. Move the motor belt and switch the lever off and on and see if the brush belt is turning on and off. It not you will need to take the clutch apart and reassemble it. Test it before installing.

Hi Barbara, it's Jack at Dyson. I'm sorry to hear the brush bar in your machine isn't rotating. Please make sure that the brush control on the cleaner head is set to 'Carpets' rather than 'Hard floors', as the brush bar will not rotate when the machine is set to the Hard floors position. Please note, the brush bar will never rotate when the machine is standing upright, so make sure it's reclined into the normal vacuuming position before testing it.

It would be best to have the vacuum checked by a qualified technician. If it has damaged the motor it can be replaced.

Check the cord first to make sure you are getting power to the switch. If not replace the cord, if so test the switch to make sure you are getting power through the switch. If still not solved follow the power down to the motor and make sure you're getting power to the motor. If so and still wont' run test the motor.

Sounds like it might be a moisture issue (one of the causes that will not allow the vacuum to function fully) IF you ran the vac over a wet part of the floor (like I did, too soon after I had shampooed a carpet) OR had cleaned/washed/rinsed the HEPA-prefilters and they had not dried completely. If whatever part of the vac's system "see's or senses" moisture, it WILL fault and not let the bar operate. Sounds silly hearing something like that, but I think the same reason is pointed out in the owners manual. IF this is not the cause, I might lean toward a overload condition pertaining to the bar mechanism, like something binding the bar or in the drive assembly. Hope this helps in some way!

You have a clog in either your hose or your wand. You need to take off the wand and hose and inspect them.
