    This video is a game changer for the performance and life of your vacuum. Thank you for making this informative and simple to follow video. I really appreciated the added insights on tips, tricks, and things you might run into and most importantly that you took the time to show the reassembly step by step -instead of saying something like “now put it back together in the reverse order you took it apart” which sounds fine at the time, but I have found *more than once unfortunately* it can be easier said than done. My vacuum is a few years old and runs like it’s brand new so thank you, thank you, thank you!

      if only corporations cared enough about the environment over money to provide these kinds of instructions so people don't have to reverse engineer everything.

    A TORX T9 dedicated (not multi-bits) screw driver 6" long from handle end to tip will make this work easy and well worth acquiring one before starting the work.

    I wish you were my neighbor! Thanks for the tutorial, especially showing how to put it back together. I think my Dyson is clogged because it's acting up after I vacuumed up some drywall dust. Ironically, after I did that it expelled alot of the dust into the air, so I honestly don't think the filtration is great.

    After stripping down and cleaning my v6 up to the cyclone assembly, I was not brave enough to tackle that without instructions. After watching your brilliant video, I'm now ready to dive in and strip it down to it's skeleton parts! Hopefully this will solve my problem, as after cleaning all the other parts, it still sucks up little more than the carpet fibres! I can't wait to come back and let you know just how well you solved it for me 🤞🤞🤞 (otherwise, it means taking out a mortgage for a new one!). I've had my v6 for at least 5 years, so if this is all it takes to renew it, then you deserve a gold medal, sir! 🥰 I'll be back...

    Thanks Russell; my Dyson was pulsing as well - turned out the battery was faulty so got a new one: but only worked that out by stripping it down and then trying to charge it with just the motor unit. When there's no cyclone attached, and you just have the motor body with battery, you know it's the battery that's at fault! Did the full deep clean and with the new battery it's working like new.
    Thanks again.

    EXCELLENT video Russell! Had that problem, called Dyson and they walked me through steps to fix this. The Agent walked me through several trouble shooting steps and in the end she couldn't solve the problem. So asked her what next-she told me she couldn't help further. Called back months later to discuss again and the agent listened to the scenario of the first call. So I asked what next. She said I could call back later and she would go through the trouble shooting steps with me. Needless to say I haven't called back. I will try using your video to remedy this.

    Thank you sir for this excellent instructional video. My unit is a V8 Absolute and is very similar. Those 5 screws are very difficult to reach and I used my micro screw driver (tightens my eye glasses hinges) and it worked fine. Also, removing the canister is kind of tricky but I pried on it like you said and used a lot of patience with these plastic parts. So, no damage! I soaked the parts in warm water with dish soap and they were all clean!
    Assembled everything back together and it runs like new. Thanks again.

      Maybe its just me but this didn't look like a particularly difficult process to do every 6 month to a couple of years. I've done similar things to my dc25 mains powered one before. Compared with almost every other brand of bagless vacuum cleaner I find Dysons to be much easier to live with. Most seem to get their filters clogged so quickly and be a horrible process to clean. At least a deep clean like this is infrequent.

    Just found a non-working V7 stick unit at a thrift store: LED just flashes once when pulling the trigger. I disassembled it alongside my brother’s non-stick V8 that I had already installed a DeWALT battery adapter into… meaning I also get to use his charger for mine now that I fixed it (spoilers?). ;) They are almost identical except the V8 has a post filter.
    The battery had already been replaced with an aftermarket. Turns out the motor was seized even though that part looked like it had never been used without even a spec of dust internally. Once I had it out I could force it to turn by hand and the crusty resistance just gradually went away as I turned it. Didn’t even have to lube it though I went back and put a dab of sewing machine oil on the hole in the center of the blade (no telling if it will make its way in deeper).
    Haven’t seen anyone mention this fault/fix yet, so I hope it helps someone.

    Good video! In addition, clean the gasket of the little flapper door in the tube where the dirt enters the basket so it can open & close freely during use. Wow! It's back to super suction!

    Well it worked first time for me. I need that 8-size star driver, my smallest was a 10. I did find a twisted plastic coated wire with soft bristles got a ton of stuff out of the vortex channels, and when I tweaked the plastic back in place and replaced the dust container, all worked fabulously. This is TERRFIC stuff Russell - Thank you. I'll apply similar principals to my old Dyson 1 suction section now. Although nearly all user parts are now third party as Dyson discontinued theirs, it still works pretty well, so long as I keep everything clean. Kind of makes you wonder why one has to use another vacuum cleaner to get all the gunk out of this one!!

    Thanks for the video. You definitely made the process easier.
    @ 12:07 you start to connect the motor assembly with part of the cyclone. After I'd cleaned and dried everything, I completely assembled all of the cyclone parts together. Then I connected the motor assembly to the cyclone. It seemed to be a little easier because I didn't have to hold the motor and the battery as I was assembling the last of the cyclone. Thanks again.

    Thank you for this part 6:40 right here. Someone used my v15 with drywall dust and sawdust while I was gone even though a ShopVac was readily available. They didn't tell me that they used my Dyson and I got a nasty surprise when I got back home. It was brand new too. It's day 3 of cleaning everything and I was looking for a guide to put it all back together.

    I did everything you suggested piece by piece, clean the wrap exactly as you did it put it all together and I still cannot get it to work few seconds and it stops but thanks for the advice. At least I learned something is how to clean something that he doesn’t work, thank you

      There is another filter that I missed in the video. It is behind the max button on top of the motor. That could be the issue. There are other videos on here showing this filter: ua-cam.com/video/hfrPBeckjtw/v-deo.html :-)

You are a star. There can't be anyone out there who doesn't try this before rushing to buy a new one. Many thanks

    Thank you so much for making this video. Behind the purple filter was just crammed with dust, which didn't seen right at all that it couldn't be cleaned out it's been driving me mad how to get in there. All sorted & drying now 👍 x

  • @Jaybird-oj4rj

    Ive been using compressed air on my V7 after dirtier jobs as preventative maintenance. It’s incredible how much dust gets blown out after a little use, I hope that doesn’t do more harm than good.

    • @RussellPlatten
      @RussellPlatten  3 роки тому

      The only issue I can see is blowing dust into the motor. I think that if you are not prepared to strip it down, blowing it out with compressed air when it loses performance is better than nothing and should improve things. I would try not to do this too often though. Mind you, I am no expert so I may be talking a load of rubbish! :-)

    Couldn’t get my d7 apart. It was causing damage to the plastic. I was afraid it would affect suction. Also needed to push tabs in on the filter to remove top.
    Thank you for the post!
    Blessings!

    Great video showing people how to do it! Ive retired my V6 Total clean for a Henry Quick. All the Dyson cordless hoovers are all the same. They all suffer from dust getting clogged inside the machine, poor design in my opinion. The Henry Quick is far better than the Dyson cordless stick vacs. No messing about having to take apart the whole machine just to clean it.

    AS said by many others-well done video. not overly long or repetitive which is quite a nice change on UA-cam. Might add that marking holes for hard to see spots with a gold or silver Sharpie marker helps. Thanks for helping figure out the unknown of cleaning machine.
