SOURCE: HOW DO YOU EMPTY THE BIN ON A dc07

Grasp the handle on top of the cyclone, then press the button which will be just by your thumb. That releases the cyclone (with bin attached) from the rest of the machine. Then unscrew the cyclone from the bin. Job done.

Beofre you go to the extent of buying a replacement canister, you can remove the top and using a straightened coat hanger type thing open that bottom lid. Then maybe you can clean the rim and possibly add some silicone spry to loosen things up. Here's how to get inside In this order: 1) Remove the canister 2) remove the three star screws at the top of the canister. It'll take a bit of pressure to pull the top up, there's a rubber seal. When you pull it up there will be a rod running down into the canister, leave it be, just pull up the top high enough to clear out any debris. 3) Use a straightened coat hanger and with a flashlight to guide you, reach down with it and push it into that hole down at the bottom center of the canister. That will pop the lid open. Clean the canister & lid rims, maybe add some silicone. At this point you might as well clean the canister too. OPTIONAL-> ***leave the bottom lid open*** and follow the rest of these steps 4) Put the top back on aligning the screws, when you lower it make sure the bottom of the rod engages with the hole at the bottom center of the canister, this is why you left the bottom lid open. Put the three star screws back in. 4) Turn the canister upside down, lid open, and keeping in mind this is thin plastic, gently tug upwards on the four fins that surround the bottom rubber seal. This part is held in by friction, so work your way around the four fins gently pulling until you work the ring they're connected to free. This will give you access to the inside of the canister. 5) remove the round perforated section by tugging upwards on it, set it aside with the fin part. 6) Take the canister to a laundry tub or large sink and holding it bottom up fill it with hot/warm water. Grasping the center section shake it vigorously and turn it upside down while shaking and a bunch of sh*t will come out. Repeat several times. 7) Dry thoroughly, you might use a hairdryer held to the center tube, but only if you can switch off the heat and use air only. Make sure its 200% dry, water will kill your machine 8) clean and replace the round perforated section 9) replace the fin section, I'd suggest pulling the round rubber part off of the fin part and setting it in place on the canister first, then follow with the plastic fin part. If you don't do it this way the rubber won't seat properly and the bottom lid won't close. 10) Close the lid, replace the canister, and staaaaaart suckin like it's brand new.

SOURCE: Dyson DC07 Clear Bin Flap will not release

I just received my replacement root cyclone in the mail today after waiting in the back-ordered status for three months. I positioned a butter knife in between the rubber gasket on the bottom flap lid and the bottom rim of the clear bin at the farthest point from the hinge and slowly and gently wiggled the knife between until the bottom flap just fell open. I examined the rubber gasket and it survived without injury and the bottom flap seals without any gaps...good luck

Dyson dc07 clear dust bin will not close after emptying. Any time the bin is removed, the dirt falls out.

There is a lever that has a hook on the end that holds the door in the bottom of the dirt cup closed. If the little plastic hook gets broken the trap door will not stay closed by itself. The easiest way to fix this is to purchase a new dust bin. I have a bunch of them in my vacuum graveyard. You may call my store at 260 244-4696.

How do I clean a build up of dust behind the mesh on the cyclone shroud of my dyson dc59?

Hi William, it's Jack at Dyson.

It's normal for harmless static generated in use to cause fine dust particles to cling to parts of the clear bin and cyclone pack. This will not affect performance as airflow doesn't have to pass through this dust, and it's not necessary to remove dust particles from behind the mesh shroud. When you empty the machine after use, tapping the cyclone pack gently will help dislodge any clinging particles.

You can remove any fluff or debris from the mesh shroud itself by removing the clear bin. To do this, press the red bin release catch once as if you were emptying the machine. Then with the bin base still open, press the red release catch firmly a second time to disengage the clear bin.

25260487-pkv2cgujyifqzetveq41ao5v-5-0.jpg

A soft brush or a dry cloth can then be used to remove any hair or debris from the shroud.

Aside from this, the only other maintenance needed is to wash the pre-filter at least once a month using cold water without detergent:


Always ensure the filter is completely dry before replacing it in the machine - this may take at least 24 hours.

How to empty dyson

Hi, it's Allie from Crucial Vacuum!

Emptying your unit's dust bin is crucial to maintaining your unit working efficiently and it is a very task to do. First, make sure your unit is off and unplugged before starting.

Push the release latch on the cyclone assembly towards the rear of your machine and remove the cyclone bin. Take the bin to a trash can before pressing the red button located behind the handle on the dust bin. Shake and/or tap firmly to remove all dust from inside the fine dust collector and then close the clear bin by pressing the center of the bin base.

It is highly recommended for allergy sufferers for the dust bin to be wiped with a damp cloth. For optimal performance, do not forget to wash your unit's washable filters at least once a month.

My dyson hose has lost suction

Hello, this is Ava with Think Crucial.

If the dust cup is too full, there is no space for the dirt to go when you are vacuuming. To fix this, remove the dust cup and empty the it. If your vacuum is still not picking up dirt after emptying the dust cup, there may be something blocking the airway. There are two places where you can check for a blockage: the dust cup air duct and the intake opening behind the brush roll. To check for a blockage in the dust cup air duct stand the vacuum upright and remove the dust cup. Now you can disconnect the super stretch hose and check for clogs in the air duct behind the dust cup. If that is not the case, to check for a clog near the roller brush lay the vacuum down. Next check the opening behind the brush roll for clogs. If there is debris, clean the opening with scissors, carefully cutting away any debris.

Uncleaned filters may also the reason why your vacuum has lost suction. To clean the foam and felt filters, remove the dust cup and pull out the two filters that are on the top of the motor base. Rinse the filters with lukewarm water until the water is running clear. Let the filters dry fully before putting them back into the vacuum. If your vacuum is still not picking up dirt, you may need to replace it.
Unfortunately, if none of the other solutions worked, your motor is going bad. Most of the time a new motor costs as much as the vacuum itself and it is not easy to replace the motor. It may be time for a new vacuum.

HOw do i open it to clean it? I can't find a manual or any info about it anywhere?

It is simply a hard pull out from the top of the silver container. The top will swing out and then you can take it off. I also pushed down a little bit, but I believe the main part to simply pull out. A fairly strong plastic tab holds it in place, so it took some force, but did not break anything.
