The Dyson DC 17 has a rug / floor switch on the head of the vacuum. Please check to make sure the switch is in the Rug position. If the brush roller still does not turn then you have broken the belt and need the following part.

Take out the (3) screws on the bottom of the brush roll cover and then you can remove the roller brush and change the belt. Here is the belt you need:

Replacing the belt on the DC-17 is not complicated at all. Once I understood how, the process took about 5 minutes. My best suggestion is to call Dyson and they will quickly and cheerfully walk you through it without making you feel stupid. Here is what they told me: 1. Remove the bottom plate that covers the beater bar, using a flat head screwdriver; pull the beater bar out so that it is only attached by the belt. 2. Use the flat head screwdriver to wedge the belt off the beater bar. It takes a little bit of wiggling, but it is not difficult. 3. Once the belt is free of the beater bar, use the screwdriver to unhook it from the gear that is attached to the motor inside. 4. With the new belt, repeat the steps in reverse, hooking the new belt onto the motor gear, over the beater bar, etc.

The belt will stop itself from spinning if you accidentally picked up a shoestring or vacuumed the edged of a carpet and the carpet
got caught. To have the brush spinning again, simply step on the front of the machine, pull back the handle, turn the machine on with
the red power button and press the gray button next to the red button - that's the ON/OFF button for the brushbar. If it doesn't spin,
press and hold the button down for 10 seconds. If it still doesn't work, call the Dyson helpline, they'll have you open up the cleaner
and inspect the belt and brushbar motor and if all else fails, they'll refer you to a local repair dealer in your area to fix it.

When I had a problem with my DC17, I received a quick response from their service department at 866-693-9766. They recommended a local authorized repair shop.
