Excellent Video with good clear explanations . You have saved me loads of heartache. I thought I had to remove handle assembly etc just to replace this split hose. Many Thanks John😁😀

[@Justinomg1]

Great video! picked up a Dyson dc40 at a garage sale for $20 and came across you're video about poor suction, replaced the hose and like brand new! Thank you!

[@jvela1993]

Great video. Dozens of videos available that were no help. This video was easy to follow and not lengthy. Saved me a lot of money.

[@AnnCoates-yf6zk]

One of the best instruction videos I have watched. Clearly filmed and well narrated. Was able to fix my DC41 by myself after watching it several times. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@saralewis6123]

I've never written a comment on a KZbin video before but this video is a life saver! Thank you so much for this useful video and clear instructions on how to replace those parts have saved me a lot of money on a new hoover. Thank you!

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

You’re welcome!

[@joeymanzanares154]

Im not exactly a handyman but after watching this video once and then following it as I did the work I got my vacuum to once again work like it did when new. Thank you. Tip being sent.

[@danielnewman9176]

Excellent video! It made the replacement far easier than I expected and worked perfectly to restore my vacuum to new!

[@rrwclc]

Thank you for posting your how to COV replacement video. I felt the spring was the most difficult step in the replacement process, more so disengaging the spring but difficult putting it back too. End result, repaired, saved a trip to a repair shop, and expense for someone else’s labor too. Part was easily found on Amazon. My Dyson sucks again . 😊 - one less household tool that could have been headed to the landfill avoided.

[@davidhotchkiss3798]

Perfectly pitched instructions, and a well produced video.

[@paultreviska9417]

I did this myself without knowing about this video. I had a bit of a time figuring out the spring but after a while I did. I so wish I had found this and watched it first I would have saved a lot of time and removed far fewer screws, The audio is concise and succinct. Really good stuff Thank you

[@andrealovas8358]

Thank you so much for the great tutorial video! I was hesitating to buy a new one but watching your video I managed to change the pipe and now my hoover is better than a new one! Saved me loads of money 🎉 Thanks

[@jackelston6989]

Great instructions. Had a problem getting the clip off but otherwise fine. The detail on clipping the top of the hose back in was good. Many thanks. (UK).

[@pekelo75]

Excellent video! I changed everything on my DC50 EXCEPT for the COV house, until I watched your video, which identified the exact problem with my vac. I found the part on the internet and used your video to walk me through the replacement. Just like new!! Thank you too much!

[@etch8_uk]

Took me about 30 mins to fix using your video, thank you so much!

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

Great job! Thank you!

[@idegosuper5210]

Thanks I wouldn’t have been able to work this out alone!

[@paulatsydney]

Wondferful, thank you - just replaced mine, slighty different on how the spring clips in, was more fiddly, had to take the back wheel cover off too, so I could get fingers in to guide the spring end back into a litte slot, then it just clipped in. Easy enough, just have to be patient and take it slow. Thanks!

[@GregWoodsLancs]

Maybe I'd have figured this out on my own, but this saved me a lot of time and frustration!

[@ME-ik4ys]

Very helpful video, thanks. I also took off the other hemi-spherical, that helped with access and light. It took me a while to get the washer style gasket seal completely seated but all good now. Cheers from across the Pond.

Thanks you so much! Sorry, I wasn't able to use Venmo, not available in my country.

[@christinarettig3179]

Thank you! Worked great on my DC41, after 9 years it's working like new again. Luckily we had a screwdriver set with the T8 and T10 on hand.

[@kevgraham1525]

Thanks, great clear to follow instructions. Just ordered the part and glad we don’t have to buy a new vacuum cleaner.

[@rtraweek17]

where did you order part. I'm having issues finding the part

[@MrBearsfan34]

Thanks so much for this tutorial. Definitely saved me a bunch of money. Got the part from Amazon for about $35. The trickiest part was the spring, but after a bit got it back on without recking it. Thanks again.

[@steve3c2]

it's people like you that's will save the planet from waste electronics , thanks man you saved me £'s too

[@TheFitzyP]

Really clear video thanks so much! I found screwing the T8 screws back in a challenge as there weren't any threads in the new holes on the new part to screw in to, so they are loose but hopefully that won't be a problem. Nice tip feature too 🎉

[@atmaispurpleye]

Thank you for this, just changed mine, the toughest part was getting the spring hook off and back on 👍

Thanks. I was able to replace my tube. Had trouble at first until I watched your video again more closely to see where all of the screws went.

[@jamesbroadhurst8447]

Great video and guidance. Job done after I'd diagnosed the issue. Works like brand new again ! Thank you !

[@user-cv2vv2oz6n]

Thank you so much for this video as I was able to replace this hose. It would have taken 10 minutes if not for taking the spring on and off. It added another hour lol. It was very difficult and did not slip off and on as easy as yours did. It did not push on and off with my finger, I thought I was going to bend it. I had to use a small flat head screwdriver to push on and off. The post was notched somehow. My DC50 has a gold canister top, maybe a different design? Thanks again!

[@bradleymccormick6706]

Thanks!

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

Thank you very much!

[@rhondabarnet9813]

Great video. My giddy aunt...what a hideous job and not one many people would be able to do. Definitely need the right tools to start - the T8 screw was one not readily on hand. We found many of the pieces/parts difficult to access and manipulate and the job took wayyyy longer than expected. Excellent that we were able to break it down into the individual sections to complete. We are both pretty handy and when finished ... vowed to never ever buy a DC50 again!

[@paulbenzley4549]

excellent video , we used it to fault find our problem , buy a new part and fit it - all works perfectly now like brand new ! thanks so much !!

[@ianhall2444]

Thanks. This video really helped. I noticed though on the UP15 Mag (UK if that matters) there was an extra plate blocking the spring from popping out. So, it's easier to remove the other end of the spring than shown in the video on this model.

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

Thanks for the input!

[@amyclark2136]

This was a great video. It helped me fix my vacuum. My only wish was that you re-assembled in exact reverse order. My small screws were slightly different diameters, and evidently I flipped them. While my one hose screw is in there, it doesnt seem to have only lightly grabbed so I suspect I accidentally used the wrong one and bored it out. It's still holding, and if it does come out I'll find a fix. Other than that, really nice detail. Vacuum is running like new again.

My change over hose is fine, but it is not seating fully to give full suction to the sweeper head. Will replacing the hose fix this or is there a spring that has weakened somewhere? Thanks.

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

Is it the original hose? Did you verify no objects were stuck inside preventing from moving fully?

[@julielaughlin6183]

Original hose and nothing blocking.

[@willandrews6570]

Great video! Made the repair easy.

[@TheMidlifeIntrovert]

We found one of these vacuums on the roadside collection and it had an identical fault. Bought the replacement part from Amazon for $20 AUD (shipping from UK to Australia). Just fixed it today, and all working! Thanks mate!

This looks very similar to the up15. Is there a chance they are the same model?

I believe this is the same as the up15.

[@kathlynzajacleblanc1057]

What if you don’t need the whole thing just the rubber gasket that is attached to the part of the hose that flips back and forth ? Please help Can’t find it 😢

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

I'm not aware that the gasket is available separately. However, trust me, if the gasket is broken, it's a matter of time before the hose splits. Just replace the whole hose.

[@vvraithz]

I have the new piece on and all the tiny T8 screws in place but my gasket doesn’t form a good seal. It’s like the rubber gets caught in the upright tool position and it doesn’t go down far enough in the carpet position. Any tips?

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

What cov did you buy? Replacement or genuine?

[@vvraithz]

@@richardsvacuumcenter it was a replacement on Amazon. I also tried cleaning the dust from the area with rubbing alcohol while I had it open. Maybe it will get better with time? Even with small gaps it works better than before so I might wait and see before I redo my work.

[@mach1111]

Great video. I have a DC9, which is almost the same machine. When I popped the spring, which you show at 4:34, the post which held the spring snapped off. On the DC9, it's a replaceable part, held by 2 screws. I cannot find a schematic parts or parts numbers schedule for the DC9 so that I can replace the plastic part. Can you help with that? Thanks very much. I hate to lose the machine for lack of a $2 part.

[@Lilacia5126]

What do you do if it's not creating a seal properly? I've followed your video and it creates a seal perfectly at the top, but not at all at the bottom.

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

Hmm just double check everything.

[@andreah6175]

Hi, great video but I'm still trouble shooting. I looked over a Dyson Total Clean vacuum, new hose, filters look good, no apparent obstructions in any of the hoses nor wand nor in the roller bar area itself. I'm not getting suction thru roller bar area nor at the hose handle. When everything is removed and I turn it on the Motor sounds good and at the top of the ball is very strong suction & air exits the side where the filter attaches. I feel no suction where the roller bar attaches. I have tried both handle positions (upright & down) I am baffled cause I see no obvious issues, the part you mention in this video appears to be in working order. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks in advance : )

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

Check in the center of the cyclone where the debris needs to travel to enter the clear bin. I often see clogs right inside there.

[@johnmaasz244]

Excellent advice and demo thank you.

[@itsshripal]

Great detailed video

[@patrycjabergmooser3994]

My hose is bad but also vaccum makes loud sound would that possibly fix both issues?

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

Replace your hepa filter and the cov hose. That should solve both issues

[@nenaxen]

10:56 I am not 100% sure but ***maybe**** that clear ring from the edge (hold by pointing finger) needs to be removed exposing adhesive prior to pushing top part into the position allowing rubber with exposed adhesive to attach firmly and securely into the position also hold by aligned groves? (Just a thought, I could be wrong and ring adhesive attached clear plastic ring should not be removed)

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

The ring is to make an air tight seal for the suction to not leak. It can be removed but that point will likely leak some suction causing a slight reduction in performance

Dyson DC50 Internal Hose Cuff Seal Vacuum Cleaner how to replace it please

[@tasfish1]

I’ve replaced the hose but it still isn’t picking up? When I check, the hose isn’t right against the vac when in floor position, I don’t know what to do now? 😭😭

[@tasfish1]

Or simpler put, the valve isn’t lining up flush when in lowered position, there’s a massive gap.

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

@@tasfish1 I would recommend taking it out and installing it a second time paying close attention to each detail. I'm not quite sure what the problem is based on your description but most likely it wasn't installed properly.

[@alxmcdonald1]

Where can I get the rubber washer for the top?

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

The top of what?

[@user-sc3qf2gh1n]

Thanks. It’s great video

[@frandalpiaz3366]

I have the exact opposite problem the floor and carpet have decent suction, but the tools through the wand has little to no suction. Should I replace this part?

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

Make sure your wand isn’t clogged first.

[@yiddoroe9661]

The entire wand and hose are easily removed to check this. At the base of the hose where it connects to the ball there is a red clip that you push to release the hose. You'll need to take off the dust collection bin to see the red clip that you depress like a push switch. To put it back on just push the flexi hose back into position, you should hear a click when it seats.

Richard, I've got a DC41 (Same System) and it's missing the COV hose's Rubber Gasket. Dyson doesn't have parts for that model any more. Any way to get that part someplace else?

You will have to replace the entire COV hose. Unfortunately it looks like those might be harder to get. The last time I looked for one they were selling for $60!

[@Ecksterphono]

Great video. I've noticed with a lot of these internal hoses and changeover hoses, that have breaks in them, that they are yellowed. I think the common problem is that people are using these for wrong application purposes and going to town on heavy soiled or slightly damp carpets that have been shampood and not dried properly or vacuuming animals slightly on the wet side or lack of filter maintenance. Another thing is, heavy smoking households causes this as well. I have a DC 43 upright, which was properly maintained. Never vacuumed drywall, filters maintained, never seen moisture for the most part. And never vacuumed oily substances like spilled coffee grounds in the kitchen or even sticky sugar particles which can chemically take their toll on plastics. Moderate vacuuming is good. Proper shampooing of carpets should also take place so no dried chemical residues get left behind. I've maintained a lot of Dysons and most households have super heavy carpets and they rent out shampoo vacuums like rug doctors and don't do a proper initial cleaning. Dysons should never be used in finishing jobs of shampood carpets. If any residual chemicals go through those cyclones this could centrifuge unwanted gases out of the residual chemicals used. Hence cyclone separators are also used or were used in the coal and gas industry to centrifuge not only harmful particles out of the air but also gases. Cyclone separator technology is also used in the perfume industry to extract essential oils out of plants. I've never seen this issue in properly maintained uprights and my DC 43 is a circa 2012
