So, if anything causes it to overheat, it will switch off. If this happens, leave the cleaner switched off for at least two hours, as it will not start again until it has cooled down.
The most common cause of a cut-out is that the cleaner has a blockage or the filter needs washing. A high room temperature may also trigger it. Before you continue vacuuming, ensure the filter is clean and there are no blockages. You can download the user guide at www.dyson.co.uk/support/.

Dyson dc30 switch suddenly not working properly

Sounds like the switch is bad. If it's not still under warranty I'd look up a replacement part.

My dyson DC07 keeps cutting out. I have seperated the cyclone from the bin, how do I clean the cyclone as I think this may be the cause?

HI there,
This is a tricky solution to describe so I have linked a video I made on how to clean the radix assembly of a Dyson DC07. Have a look at the video it should be pretty clear what you need to do. If you find you need parts for your Dyson check out Nelson Vacuums or VacuumSpot.
If this is a helpful video please take a quick moment to give me a thumbs up, a comment or a testimonial I like to hear back from you guys.

Dyson dc07 keeps cutting out after few minutes

This is a sure sign of a blockage. The motor cuts out because it gets too hot and will start again when it has cooled. Follow the instructions in your user manual for clearing blockages (you can download a copy from the Dyson website if necessary). Make sure the washable filter is clean too (and completely dry before you use it).

Dyson DC07. Problem:- switch the hoover on and it cuts out after approximately 1 second. Any ideas please?

The motor has a built in over-current trip to protect itself (and you if it seriously overheated and caught fire). This normally automatically resets itself, however if the motor has just about had it, the moment it is switched on, it just trips again.

The primary cause of motors overheating is that the filters are not cleaned or replaced frequently enough. Dont be fooled by Dyson's "lifetime filters". They need to be regularly cleaned and replaced when necessary.

Replacement motors are avaible on eBay for about £25, however repalcing one requires good DIY skills and tools.

Have a look at www.dysonmedic.com and see if you feel you can tackle it yourself. If not, take it to a repair shop or call the Dyson helpline.

On/off switch doesn't work. No power. The last few times I used it, kept cutting out but now won't switch on at all. No blockages.

As it was cutting out before it stopped working all to gether, it most likely isnt the switch but the motor.

The motor has a built in over-current trip to protect itself (and you if it seriously overheated and caught fire). This normally automatically resets itself, however if the motor has just about had it, the moment it is switched on, it just trips again. Eventually, the motor wont do anything.
