Maintenance Guide - Dyson Ball Animal 3 UP30 (Filter Change, Brushroll Clean, Clearing a Clog)

[@texasblaze1016]

If you clean your vacuum then does that make you a vacuum cleaner?

[@IntellitechStudios]

That is correct

Dyson seriously needs to pay you for this video content! Their directions suck so bad they were non existent!!! I learned everything from this video than anything from Dyson! Thank you so much for the is tutorial! Nothing in the box talks about filters and how to clean them!

[@AriannaFirmalo-gm8hc]

Same here!!! Mine is running like new. Thank you so much!!

[@rahdnezola390]

I have been using my new Dyson Ball Animal 3 for only a short time and this morning I inadvertently sucked up a small plush cat toy. I was worried I had caused irreversible damage, but your video showed me where the likely problem was and how to tackle it. It's back to working wonderfully! Thanks so much for this informative video!

[@ElephantTusks]

Please make a video on the complete disassembly of the entire brush head unit, not just taking out the brush bar. It gets very dirty in there and needs to be disassembled to be properly cleaned.

[@dannyhopkinsgmail2744]

Hi did u every find a video to do this as would be a great help as I’ve looked and can’t find a video to clean this bit thanks

[@BT3993]

Don't think you can do this. It's all made out of plastic so a good soak should do the trick

[@Smidday1]

@@BT3993 you sure, the grey part feels like a motor and gears when you turn it

[@BT3993]

​@Smidday1 the grey part comes off. The head/bottom part only some of it comes out

Great Vid-more informative than the Dyson (tiny-) manual that came with it. Brush stopped working-removed, cleaned out and now working again, Thanks v. much!

[@nathanielaranda8407]

I just got a bissell PowerForce bagged 1739 on Monday 3-13-23. so far im impressed for what it is! I still feel like my other machines clean a bit better but for around $60 I can't complain. I have a 20pk of clean fairy HEAPA bags coming for it! I like it so far 🙂

Great informative video. Everything was clear. Im looking to get this vacuum but wanted to see what maintenance was like. Thank you!

[@gommyreeves1578]

Thank you for a very thorough explanation and demonstration of how to maintain my Dyson Animal 3. Too bad the manufacturers aren't as informative and clear in their instructions.

[@craglabrake6802]

Thank you so much for this video! Even though, I perfer bagged vacuum cleaners over bagless because I feel bagged is a bit easier to maintain. This was still helpful, thank you again!

[@PierceWetter-b4q]

You would probably really like the Oreck, I recently refurbished mine. In fact, I refurbished both my Dyson and my Oreck after destroying both of them.

[@fish8cat]

Thank you so much for this video. This Dyson is the least user friendly vacuum I have ever owned and the company is even worse for support. Even after watching this, I spent thirty minutes on the floor trying to get the head to snap back on an when it comes to the hose in the handle, my best solution was to buy a canister vacuum for those jobs. I would have never been aware of where and how to deal with the other filters and they can wait, given how difficult it was to get the brush head back on. You have helped tremendously even though it takes some patience to deal with this thing.

[@IntellitechStudios]

I'm going to do a video soon on how to use the Animal 3. Even though I really like mine, I've heard many say they have issues with their machines. I'm happy to help the best I can!

[@fish8cat]

@@IntellitechStudios Awesome. The company doesn't offer much, so I really appreciate your instruction!

Just wiping that mesh filter didn't do it. I have 3 dogs in the country....we had to take the whole thing apart and soak everything - and it's only been 6 months since buying it new. Any way to take the beater bar thingy inside the case out? There are little ridges in there that caught everything from dog hair to seeds and dirt caked inside. Video was great tho.

[@michaelm3943]

I actually was looking for how to clean the whole of the inside of the head, where the teeth are, does the roller come out, the whole roller i mean.

[@denyaraythern6728]

Not that I could see, I just needed to do that cause mine sucked up something wet and icky and it does not seem to come apart. So I've sprayed cleaner into those channels, waited and sprayed water into those channels till it seems as clean as possible and now I'm going to let it dry for a few days while the filter drys. I know the head has electrical wires, etc in it so I want to make sure the head is fully dry before reattaching.

[@adamgarcia8745]

Thanks. I found a dog bone stuck at the very bottom of my hose. Now it works great!

[@chaleowin7732]

This is exactly what I needed, thank you.

[@Crissa42082]

How can you clean the clear part where the roller is on the power head. My husband put so much of the powder scented carpet stuff down.. and it’s stuck in that part. It’s definitely ruined my carpet cleaner I think too.

[@smellyupsguy]

I would like to know too!!

[@fransiscoscaramanga674]

I bought this Dyson animal 3 about 9 months ago....... I like it but I'm not crazy about the way the pull-out wand is designed.. i like the older version of the pull-out like the Dyson dc25.....

Do you have any tips for this vacuum not reclining? There is nothing blocking it, but it no longer will recline.

[@DomD__THFC]

Same thing for me. Can’t find anything online about how to fix the issue yet I’ve seen many posts from people with the same issue!

[@mountainmama6500]

Thank you thank you! I live rural so no one to repair vacuums. I found out how to use and maintain my vacuum plus replace a filter

[@truthwsyf]

Around timeline 16 min when you take the head tube out - can you also show how to open the roller that sits on the inside of the head tube ? Is there a way to clean that head so the transparent plastic is thoroughly clear

[@LoriFNMLifestyle]

I wish there was a way to open that part, too! I use 2 cleaning wipes draped over the end of one of those flimsy plastic sticks with teeth on it... used to pull hair clogs out of a drain... it's flexible enough to get in there and work it around and clean it up pretty good. I use 2 wipes for the extra thickness and the stick still grips both of them. I hope this helps!

Where did you get the cleaner head with the plus and minus symbols, and without the suction gates under the front of the head?

[@IntellitechStudios]

It's the Easy Push Cleaner Head, I did a video on it previously

[@melamorales]

So is there no way to take the top clear cover off the beater head part? Mine is disgusting thanks to someone vacuuming up something wet and dirty and I want to clean it so bad!

[@LoriFNMLifestyle]

I have a solution to cleaning that part. There's no way to take it apart. Mine also gets filthy! You'll need cleaning wipes and one of those "Zip-it" drain hair clog removers... it's a plastic stick about a foot and a half long with little teeth on it. I got mine at the dollar store. Drape a couple of wipes over the end of that stick and it's flexible enough to get in there and work it around. I use 2 wipes for extra thickness and the teeth on the stick still grab onto both of them so they don't get stuck in there. I hope this helps!!

[@taylorbaker4062]

I need to clean the clear screen after you pulled the brush roller out but I can’t figure out how. Something got wet on the inside and I want to clean the clean part so it doesn’t grow mold.

[@IntellitechStudios]

A damn cloth or disinfectant wipe should work just fine to wipe off that window

[@taylorbaker4062]

But how? The brush roller comes out but it leaves behind the grey piece that doesn’t come out of the clear screen. (The bottom of the vacuum where is sucks). I need to clean the inside of where the brush roller is but I cannot get a washcloth or anything in there.

How to clean this the inside part of the dust bin… there’s dust there and it doesn’t come out of that screen

[@dobees8183]

Huge design flaw at 16:00 you can't take apart the head where dirt and grime get embedded between the motorized cylinder and the plastic inner part where the teeth are located. Not good.

[@IntellitechStudios]

You can put a rag in between te two areas and wipe it down

[@estherostwald7574]

Do you know how to take the other side of the ball off? Not the filter side but the other?? I had a mouse crawl in there and die, so i cannot run it until i remove it and clean it. Otherwise, my whole house is filled with that terrible, terrible dead rodent smell. 😢

[@shandae8825]

What the heck...my brush head is gold not blue and it doesn't seem to be antitangle. Was this an add-on option I missed?

[@seabass22]

Where can I find the seal that is about halfway up the unit that the canister seals to? It’s supposed to just mount up against it but somehow my wife got it all crinkled up and now it is not sealing. It’s the gasket at 8:05

Hi. With the brush head and the gray part the stays in there, on the opposite clear side there is a bunch of stuff stuck there and cannot get out. How can you reach that part???

[@SusanTyree-v8y]

I'm having a problem with the brush power head falling off occasionally during normal use. Have you heard of this? I don't have a Dyson service center in my area, so not sure how to resolve.

[@IntellitechStudios]

There's a red tab underneath that clicks the head into place, if it's not clicked in all the way the head may fall off. If you wiggle it it should click into place

[@SusanTyree-v8y]

The red tab is locked in place and the head seems secure each time we put it back on. It still falls off occasionally with normal use (not when the vacuum is upright, but when it is being pushed and pulled in normal vacuuming motion). I reported the problem on the Dyson website but haven’t received a reply.

[@_kaleido]

Do you know how to take apart the head fully so I can clean the top plastic of the head

[@LoriFNMLifestyle]

I had the same question but I don't think it's possible. I do have a makeshift solution for cleaning that part if you're still interested. I use one of those drain hair clog remover sticks... a flimsy plastic stick with teeth up and down it... I drape a couple of cleaning wipes over the end of it and it grips them pretty good and you can get in there and clean it. It's not perfect but it sure is better than having that part filthy.

[@garygangster2414]

I did contact Dyson about this.. they had me do a live demonstration to prove it. They told me to take it to a repair center of which I refused as I told them this is not my first Dyson and if I did it would sit there for who knows how long. I told them it was a design flaw. They then told me they would send me a new head but at the moment there’s none in stock. How long am I going to wait on that.. I’ll keep calling and writing them..

[@IntellitechStudios]

@@garygangster2414 that's odd. I do know that I got mine from my local Dyson Service Center, not Dyson Corporate. If you go on dysons website you can look up your nearest service center and give them a ring and see if that gets better results
