If the vacuum cleaner's airways become blocked, the device will automatically shut off to prevent damage. Check for blockage at the power head. It probably runs when not flat because it can suck air past the blockage.
If the vacuum's filter is full of debris, the vacuum may lose suction, causing the device to turn off automatically...which I doubt in your case.
Be cautious removing the blockage for sharp objects.

Best to you

Brush bar doesn't spin on dyson on dc39

Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson.

DC39's Trigger head floor tool is powered by a turbine, driven by your vacuum's suction. Following these simple checks should help you resolve any issues which could be preventing the brush bar from rotating as normal: http://www.dyson.co.uk/support/dc39/dc39-animal/machine-is-not-working/trigger-head-not-working/dc39-check-the-brushbar/dc39-check-triggerhead-tool

Dyson dc25 vaccuum will not lie flat to go under low furniture.

Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson.

DC25's cleaner head is engineered with a low profile to clean under the edges of low furniture. However for cleaning under very low furniture we'd recommend using the onboard hose, wand and tools as the vacuum itself is not engineered to lie flat to the floor.

If you'd like some advice from our experts on getting the best out of your machine, please give us a call directly on 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), 1-877-397-6622 (CA) or 1800 239 766 (AU).

I have a dc56, will the new tangle free turbine tool, part No 925068, fit it?

Hi Lyn, it's Jack at Dyson.

DC56, the new Dyson Hard vacuum cleaner, is engineered for quick cleanups on hard floor surfaces - wood, laminate, lino, tile etc. It also converts into a powerful handheld vacuum for dusting tasks around the home and inside the car.

The Dyson Hard is not designed for use on carpeted floors, and we do not manufacture a motorised head for this machine as it lacks the wiring and connections needed to supply current to a motorised head.

Airflow-driven Turbine heads, such as the Tangle-free Turbine tool, are engineered to work with the performance characteristics of our mains-powered vacuum cleaners, and are not compatible with Dyson cordless or handheld vacuums.

However, we do have a range of accessories which are compatible with DC56, and you can find these on our website: http://www.dyson.co.uk/accessories/variant-accessories.aspx?pid=DC56-dyson-hard

I have a Dyson DC33. The cleaning head will not stay down. As you move the unit, the head will stay at whatever angle it is last pushes into. So, as you pull the vacuum back and then push it forward,...

Hi Anthony, it's Jack at Dyson.

This sounds very unusual, as the cleaner head should pivot freely in use, allowing the soleplate to remain flat to the floor surface. The cleaner head is designed to adjust automatically to different carpet heights and floor types as you vacuum - this is shown in the video I've attached above.


It would be worth washing both filters as shown in our online Support guide: http://www.dyson.co.uk/support/dc33/dc33-multi-floor/my-machine-is-not-working/machine-not-sucking-picking-up-as-well-as-usual/filter-removal-step-1


We recommend using cold water without any detergent, and allowing both filters at least 24 hours to dry completely before replacing them in the machine. In normal use, the filters should be maintained in this way at least once every 3 months.


It's also worth checking to make sure the internal hose isn't damaged, and that there are no obstructions in the machine. Our online Support guide should help with this: http://www.dyson.co.uk/support/dc33/dc33-multi-floor/my-machine-is-not-working/machine-not-sucking-picking-up-as-well-as-usual/how-to-wash-filters/next/next/next/wand-suction

If you need further help after you've given this a try, I would encourage you to contact us directly so we can provide further assistance - if a repair is needed our experts will be happy to confirm if this is covered under your machine's 5-year guarantee.

You can reach us by calling the Dyson customer Helpline on 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), or 1-877-397-6622 (CA).

We'll look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,

Jack

My dyson head/brushbar will not lie flat while vacuuming?

Something is binding up not allowing it to pivot freely. It may be wear or something broken or stuck in there. The only way to determine what it is causing the problem is to analyze each part while moving the uandle back and forth. It could be multiple isssues and may require a qualified Dyson technician.

Vacuum head is not staying flat

Hi.

Try changing the short transparant hose under the machine.
Or try removing the hose & reffiting it acts like a spring pivoting the head pushing it flat to the floor.
