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. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@Johnwenn1]

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😁😀

[@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.

[@davidhotchkiss3798]

Perfectly pitched instructions, and a well produced video.

[@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).

[@danielnewman9176]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@atmaispurpleye]

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

[@michaelhodgson3908]

Mine will not come off at all.

[@jamesbroadhurst8447]

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

[@user-ou4nz5tn5z]

We have two DC50s, one inherited, and both with the same problem. The video was excellent, and I doubt I could have worked out how to do it without it. Still a fiddly job. Thank you.

[@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.

[@dirtlover2005]

Thank you for this post. Just followed your guide stage by stage 👍 much appreciated.

[@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 !!

[@datadotwo]

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.

[@willandrews6570]

Great video! Made the repair easy.

[@serajmuhammed3942]

I had a problem with my Dyson DC50. I believe I have suction problem. Before I open the parts, I will do basic cleaning and see what happens. I will reach out to your channel try to get more help from you. Thank for giving me the courage to even touch it. Bye for now.

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

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

Great job! 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!

[@davidhughes3051]

Thank you for posting, fantastic instructional video. I thought you're framing was fine, even reconnecting the spring shot.

[@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.

[@plunder1956]

@@richardsvacuumcenter I can understand. Some Dyson bits are very tricky to dig out & that link tube looks designed to wear out.

[@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!

Thank you

[@thomasharrison405]

[@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.

[@rtraweek17]

where did yall order the part?

[@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.

[@bater1abater1a]

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?

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

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!

[@julielaughlin6183]

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.

[@Velvet77618]

Hi mate, I did this fix via your video (very helpful btw) but I'm finding it's not fully sealing when in floor vacum mode, the valve doesn't seem to be coming all the way down. Is the spring to blame or something else?

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

Could be the spring. Did you buy an off brand cov hose or a genuine dyson one? Some of the off brand cov hoses have been know to do that.

[@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

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

[@alxmcdonald1]

Where can I get the rubber washer for the top?

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

The top of what?

[@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.

[@jacktoy3032]

I called the Dyson service phone number today and was told that this part is not available for purchase by an owner of a Dyson vacuum. It can only be repaired at a Dyson Service Center.

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

Link in description

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@gladysperez-almiroty1760]

I must have installed it wrong! It has a lot of suction from the “exhausts” on the top of the ball, but none from he hose or tools. Help!

try to keep the camera focused on what youre doing, just stick to what you need todo, no screws that we dont need to remove, please stop dribbling about the notch, we got it already, get a camera for the head if that helps, but what ever you do, please keep the camera focused on what youre doing aka no eye focus to the edge of the video else we may miss a detail we'd need to see, no point on an instructional vid where you cant see what the instructor is talking about? i had to go else where to complete my fix, if you make it look hard, you didnt help that much. Most 'stuff' is made on a conveyor belt, manned by people that arent paid much, which means, they probably arent there by choice, which means their intelligence probably isnt academically recognised, which includes most of the worlds population, which may imply anyone can fix anything with enough correct instruction. just a thought. nothing is too complicated if you break it down small enough.

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

Appreciate the feedback. May I offer you some feedback on commenting on videos? Next time you give feedback try not to insult the person who is attempting to help people for free. Perhaps season your words with gratitude rather than entitlement.
