Dyson DC37 Clogged non removable power head V ball wheels (Cleaning)

This video is a how to remove carpet fiber and pet hairs from a Dyson Power head that has non-removable V ball wheels. The newer models have a screw to remove the wheels for easy de-clogging. I did a support chat with Dyson regarding my Dyson DC37 Turbinehead Animal Canister Vacuum wheels being all clogged up and how to remove them. I was told they are not removable. Using a knife, I cut some barbs into a zip tie to pull out clumps of hairs. It takes some time and patience, but it worked. Hope this helps someone who was also having this issue.

@@kerslati well.... it didn't work, but the zip tie I used was really skinny. I think I need to try with a thicker zip tie like you used. My zip tie broke off inside the wheel part, so now the wheel is even more stuck. I have a Dyson Animal Ball Canister vacuum, but with a similar turbine head. Those stupid wheels should just be removable! Lol

@@melissamele1305 I agree. I called Dyson support (or, actually did the chat) and they said not removable. They are flexible and getting the bigger zip tie in wasn’t difficult.
