Thermal cut out
Most Dyson vacuums have a built in safety system that stops the machine if it
begins to overheat. This usually happens because the filter needs washing or
your machine is blocked. If your machine turns off on its own, unplug it and
leave it for at least an hour to cool down. Remember to check the filter and
look for blockages before re-starting.
Any non- domestic use may adversely affect the filter performance
such as vacuuming up plaster dust.
Sounds like your vacuum is overheating. Check the above.

SOURCE: dyson dc07 animal\ no suction
Hello,
There could be a few things that would cause your Dyson to have no suction. I will give
you detailed step by step instructions along with pictures on how you can
diagnose this.
Possible Problem
#1. The first problem is extremely common. In fact, we probably see
between 2-3 of these problems every week. It mostly happens after people
take the bottom plate off the vacuum in order to clean the roller brush. What happens
is when they reinstall the bottom plate, they put it on on
incorrectly. It's actually very easy to do. When the bottom plate
(soleplate) is installed wrong, there will be a gap between the bottom plate,
and the agitator housing, or the purple tray the roller brush sits in. This will cause the
soleplate to be a few inches higher off the ground then it should be, preventing the brushes from even hitting the carpet. This makes it seem to
the user that vacuum has lost suction power because without the brushes hitting
the carpet, the machine will not pick up very well on floors, but when they use the
attachment hose there's plenty of suction power.
Here's a picture of the WRONG way to install the bottom plate. Notice the gap in
between the two housings:
Here's another picture, that is the RIGHT way to install
the soleplate:
I would say probably 6 times
out of 10 this is the problem with the customers machine. If you checked the
soleplate and it is installed correctly, move on to the second possible
problem.
Possible Problem # 2. Turn the
vacuum cleaner upside down so the brush roller is facing upwards. I found the
easiest way to work on it is to put it on a counter top or work bench. On the
left hand side behind the roller brush you should see a flexible transparent
hose that goes from the motor to the agitator housing. This hose actually
has a lot of strain on it when the vacuum cleaner is in the reclined position.
When the first few series of Dyson DC07 models came out, they didn't make this
hose long enough, so when the vacuum was in the reclined position, it would put too much stress on the hose, and cause the hose to actually crack, usually
right where the end of the hose that goes into the agitator housing. Examine your
hose and see if you have any visible cracks in this hose. If you need to you may
just remove the entire hose assembly by pulling on it. It will easily come right
out of the machine so you can inspect it better. Here's a picture of where the hose
usually cracks:
This would
also explain why the vacuum works fine when using the attachments, but not on
the floors. The attachment hose uses a different suction channel, and when the
machine is in the upright position, no suction goes through this hose. If you do
find a crack in this hose, the this hose needs to be replaced. Here's a direct link to that hose on our GoVacuum website.

Possible Problem #3.
I would suspect that this may not be the problem, but if neither of the
solutions above worked, then try this one. Dyson's in general are prone to clogging. There are a few clog ports throughout the vacuum cleaner that were added
there due to Dyson prototypes becoming clogged at these points. Here are pictures of how and where to check for these clogs. Simply remove the suction
port covers at both of these locations:
Possible Problem #4. If none of the above solutions worked for
you, try this last one. The Dyson DC07
models use a clutch mechanism that stops the roller brush from spinning when
changed from carpet mode to bare floor mode. This clutch mechanism is a notorious
problem with all Dyson models, in fact they were such a problem that Dyson
had to redesign the DC07 model to a non-clutch system. Even if yours is one of
the newer ones that don't use a clutch, yours still has a belt inside. You can
tell if your model uses a clutch or not by the shape of the roller brush. If
your brush is a perfect cylinder shape, yours does NOT have a clutch. To check
and see if the clutch or the belt have gone bad, first release the handle on the
vacuum as if you were vacuuming carpets. Make sure the machine is set to carpet
mode. Now while the handle has been released, turn the machine upside down and
see if the brushes are spinning. If the brushes are spinning then turn the
vacuum right side up and put the brushes on the floor. Can you still hear the
brushes spinning when they are hitting the carpet? If yes, then this is not the problem. If the brushes however are NOT spinning, this indicates either your
brush roll, clutch, or belt have gone bad.
If these solutions still didn't fix your problem, I'd be happy to try and help you further. Just use the Clarification Request, or comment section here on the Fixya repair page.

SOURCE: Broken belt
DC07s have two belts - one connects the output of the motor to the clutch, the other connects the clutch to the brush bar.
I suspect the belt you are to refering to is the one from the clutch to the brush bar. Unfortuenately the other belt is hidden under a plastic cover, so you cant see if it is okay or not without some dismantling. This cover is not easy to remove and requires a Torx driver to under the securing screws.
If, after removing the cover, the other belt is okay, then you have a faulty clutch. New clutches are available on eBay reasonably cheaply, but again good tools and DIY skills are required.
Have a look at www.dysonmedic.com which has some excellent info on dismantling and repairing your machine, but unless you have access to such tools, and feel confident to tackle it, it's probably time tocall Dyson or a Vacuum repairer.
SOURCE: DC07 Animal Bagless Upright Cyclonic Vacuum: Brushbar will not spin...
Hi there,
There are a couple of reasons that the brush bar will not spin on a Dyson DC07.
1. The carpet / hard floor selector is set to hard floors.
2. There is material wound around the brush to the point that it is jammed.
3. The brush roller bearings are full of dust and **** so they have siezed up.
4. One of your belts has snapped (there are 2)
5. The clutch is faulty.
Now to describe how to check each of these is a full essay so I have made a video instead. I have gone through each of these except maybe point 1 because it is self expainatory.
Have a look at the video and if it is helpful then please leave me a thumbs up, a comment or a testimonial.
If you find out that you need parts have a look at Nelson Vacuums or VacuumSpot.
Hope this is helpful!
Happy Vacuuming :)
If your brushbar wont turn and the belt is definatley fitted correctly then there is a problem with the brushbar itself.
If the brushbar is old then they can be affected internally by clogging up.
Assuming you have the "Clutch" version of Dyson. This is one that has a spiral brushbar.
There are 2 types of brushbar, 1 for the Clutch Version and 1 for the Non Clutch version.
Either way you will need to replace the brushbar. Please watch the video....
