Top video! Your advice on that internal spring hose worked a treat! I never would have worked that out myself! Thank you. I agree with the other positive comments - good job!

[@parwaz7861]

That is great to hear! I’m glad you found the video helpful! Thank you for your comment ✌🏽

Wow so glad i watched your video, my dyson DC33 suction was really bad i was given it by the lady who lived here before me and i can see why she didnt want it, i cleaned it changed the filters it was really bad but still it wasn't sucking up barely, i watched quite a few videos, but none of them explained about the tube on your video at 3:36, so i checked the vacuum again and mine was not springing back at all so i twisted a little like you said until it did start springing back , wow i could not believe the suction on the vacuum really strong, im so grateful for your video, was so happy i vacuumed the whole house! Thank you so much!

Thanks so much your videos the only one that shows what are probably most thank you again a little hose in the head of the vacuum was not working right we twisted it a little and started working again it wasn’t going down into my carpet like you said my husband just fixed it with this video.

Brilliant thank you

[@roseannapage3662]

Thank you so very much for your clear step by step instructions. I purchased mine second hand and I had the person plug it in so that I can see that it works. But it really didn't suck anything up. It turned on and because it was on cement I thought that was why it didn't have great suction. But, THANKS to your video I found that there was a piece that kinda looks like an elbow missing and also on the bottom, there wasn't a spring back in that little hose. So, I am going to find out the cost to replace those 2 pieces. If it's not too expensive than I just made a great investment because I only paid $40 for the vacuum. Again, Thank you so very much for walking through each step and doing it in such a way that I was able to follow along. I did SUBSCRIBE just because of this. Have a Blessed evening.

Thanks we have both a dc03 and dc14 that were both sitting around about to be scrapped due to no suction but both fixed from just dismantling the sections apart

[@ianpearson8976]

I just bought a reconditioned one off ebay. Got it now and the wand attachment works great super suction. The main hoover part doesn't suck at all even with the brush bar on. No blockages I can see. Brush rotates but zero suction.

[@parwaz7861]

Is the soleplate flat to the floor and not angled? Also make sure your clutch is good otherwise the brush stops when it hits the carpet

[@ianpearson8976]

@@parwaz7861 the brush is moving but you can go over anything it doesnt suck anything up at all.i put my hand to the bottom of the vaccum and zero suction but brush is spinning.put yr hand on the hose attachements and you can feel how strong the suction is.this should be the same on bottom of vaccum for yr hand against it surely.

[@parwaz7861]

@@ianpearson8976 honestly I’ve covered it all in the video The suction won’t be the same by hand at the head because it’s designed to be concentrated at the hose and spread out at the head for the entire width of the head so it may feel less powerful when it’s actually the same amount going to the head

[@ianpearson8976]

@@parwaz7861 okay I think I've found a possible cause. You mention that the lower internal hose pipe creates tension on the brush bar 3.52 on video and you show pushing it up it springs back flush again.mine doesn't do this and I have to keep pressing it down with my foot then it works better. Do these hoses have springs in them or is there another spring somewhere.

[@parwaz7861]

@@ianpearson8976 yes that sounds like the problem with your Dyson. The white coil in the hose acts as a spring, try rotating the hose 180 degrees so half a turn and it’ll be springy again

[@brunettetomboy5889]

Thanks for video.. Just fixed our vacume, exactly what u said, about lever bein in wrong position. When being carried, the bottom flips, and the lever flips back to bare floors for sum reason. and no one realized it. Do you know, can the roller get worn out n need to b replaced ¿ And that make it pick up up better with a new roller ¿ Every single thing has been checked on it. The suction is great up top, no clogs any where, filters r great. N no belt to replace. Thanks again

[@parwaz7861]

Glad it helped! The brushbar can be removed if you force it off the rubber belt it’s literally just a tight rubber band, so can take some effort but it’s perfectly doable Brushbars seldom get worn it’s usually the clutch as the rubber belts stretch out after years of use (the tighter the belts are the more aggressively the brush will spin on carpets)

When stripping down Dyson cyclones to be refurbed, is it better to not wash the seals?

I would avoid washing them, just a wipe down would be good enough

Amazing video... but my wand wont disengage causing the bar not to work. Yes, I've untwisted the hose 5 times!!! Something isn't right!!

[@parwaz7861]

Many thanks! As for the wand, try spraying some furniture polish on the entire metal wand - this will allow for the wand to be easier to lift out of the machine

Question: when I am vacuuming normally, is there supposed to be strong suction coming from the top of the wand at the same time? I just noticed this happening and the vacuum doesn't seem to be picking anything up.

[@parwaz7861]

Hi sounds like the valve is out of place, I’m assuming the vacuum doesn’t stand upright in it’s own either right? On the left side of the vac push the valve pipe upwards it just slides up when you push the black button and it’ll stand up and work properly again

[@Skeer0]

@@parwaz7861 the vacuum stands upright on its own. Upon further inspection there is zero suction coming from the brush area and full suction from the wand. I disassembled everything I can and all pipes are clear. This doesn't make any sense

[@parwaz7861]

@@Skeer0 if you’re using in the vacuuming position and suction comes out the wand it’s definitely the valve, if you search up “dyson dc14 not standing up” you’ll see what I mean

The suction on my DC33 at the wand is excellent, but at the bottom is weak. I've checked the internal hose, the seals and the valve mechanism. Do you know what it is?

[@parwaz7861]

Check the brushbar housing and front of the soleplate has the foam seals in place

@@parwaz7861 It has the seals in it, but looks a bit worn.

If it’s not the clutch, filters or the seals there’s nothing else it could be, DC33s aren’t the strongest machines especially since they leak a lot of airflow out the large debris channel and edge cleaning whiskers

How do you fix trumpet noise on a DC07?

[@parwaz7861]

The grey motor retainer cover - there’s that plastic tube that leads into the motor, wrap some electrical tape around it because the bottom motor seal doesn’t seal against it properly If that doesn’t work then I’m not sure what else it could be other than cleaning all the seals in the vacuum
