I fancy myself good at fixing things but I couldn't have done it without you. Excellent video and thank you very much for your detailed explanation!! As a previous viewer commented, putting the vacuum back together is key!!
Yes. It is the hardest part of repair. Thanks for the comment!
Oh my God I want to thank you so so much you are awesome. You’re amazing. I had taken mine apart and then I had to watch a video how to put it back. Thank you so much. It helped me tremendously and you made it so easy.
Thank you so much for this video...I was just looking for cleaning the post motor filter, and then saw this, with how to remove the bin to wash it (which I had never known how to either!), and found I could clean the whole lot! We live on a dirt road - so much dirt and grit now no longer living in my machine! I am sure it will work so much better!! Thank you again.
Thank you so much for posting this!!! I got a free Dyson from someone in my neighborhood because they said it didn’t work. Followed your video and it works like new now!!
Fantastic video!! Thank you for taking the time to do this. You saved my V8 from the trash heap!
A very detailed teardown of the main dirt magnet parts of the vacuum. Many thanks for the content.
Thank you so much for this! I recently purchased a used Dyson V8, and every time I used it it smelled AWFUL. Cleaning it out made such a big difference! Great video, very easy to follow along.
Thank you for your efforts. I've cleaned both my V6 and VI following your videos. Really appreciate it.
Thans very much for this awesome video. I almost thrown away my v8 and bought a new one. The suction was really degraded, until it became completely unusable. Thanks to your thorough video I was able to clean it and restore it to a new condition.
Thanks again!
Thank you 😊 My vacuum wasn’t working for a month, but due to this video I was able to fix it !🤗
Thank you for taking the time to run through this so concisely 👍
Thank you for taking the time to create your amazing video! I thought I broke this unit when it dropped on the floor and came apart. Thank you fo r showing me how to put it back together. I’m so relieved!!
Oh my God I want to thank you so so much you are awesome. You’re amazing. I had taken mine apart and then I had to watch a video how to put it back. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much!!! I had done the usual disassembly and cleaning, but after putting it back together, there seemed to be a lot of fine dust continuing to emanate from the cyclone and collecting in the bin, (which is a real drag after spending considerable time cleaning it). And I was thinking if only I knew how to open up the cyclone to see where the dust was coming from. And here you are! Very much appreciated!
Many thanks. I got careless and sucked some water into my V8 Animal. It mixed with the accumulated dust and formed a paste that shut it down (made the pulsing you mentioned). I almost ordered a replacement vacuum but decided to do a little research and found this post. Very easy to follow, and I already had a set of torx bits, so I figured all I had to risk would be an hour of my time. All went well. I tore up the edge more than you did separating 5 clips between the inner and outer plastic housings, but it had no impact on function, and fortunately, that's as far as I needed to go.
Thank you so much, I somehow dislodged the dust bin from the motor when emptying it, I watched your video and it just clicked back in after your suggestion on how to line it up
My Dyson v8 suck some water and this video was REALY usefull for dissasemble and clean it. Thank you for your work!
Hello, wanted to thank you for taking the time to make the video. My V8 smelled so bad I was almost ready to throw that out and buy a new one! Your video saved it! among all the youtube Dyson videos I found yours the most helpful and easy to follow. Thanks again!
Thanks! I appreciate the comment! Glad it helped you out!
An excellent video. Thanks for making and posting it! An added bonus for me (with hearing difficulty) is that your video doesn't have rock music in the background and I can hearing every word you said!
Thank you sir. Glad to help!
Thanks! Finally I'm able to tear down and clean my V7 safely.
Helpful thanks. Didn’t have long enough screwdriver to release last pieces but apart from that it really helped me be able to clean the dust out from decorating. The bit with the flathead screwdriver didn’t come out at all result like yours so got a few jabs in the plastic 🙈. It’s now reassembled and charging 🤞it all works tomorrow 😁
This is perfect! I am new to Dyson. This makes maintaining it much esier.
Thank you soooo much for this tutorial it really helped me with putting my bin back in I thought I was going to have to eeturn it. Continue to do good work. God bless you!
Thank you so much for going to the trouble of doing this. You're a bloody legend!
Thank you for this excellent video. Really good camera work. You showed all the tricky steps so that it was easy to follow. Much appreciated.
Thanks!
THANK YOU!!! I appreciate your clear communication and very good videoing! You're video just saved me from an hour of frustration!
hey man, thanks for this vid
i accidentally popped out the plastic waste catcher part of the vacuum and couldn’t get it back in and this helped me click it back into place 😅
saved me from my mom, thanks dude
Excellent video. I purchase Dysons at my local Goodwill when I can find them. Your videos have helped me clean them up so they are useable in my home. Even when I buy them without a charger, I use my existing charger to charge the compatible vacuums. The fact that you REassemble is key. I can take them apart, but I’m horrible and putting them back together. In some instances I write the screw size on the unit with a Sharpie to remind myself.
Thank you for making it super clear concise!
My first 👍 and comment goes to this walkthorough, what a life saver.
Thank You Very Much!
Excellent V8 tutorial.
Thank you Richard! It was easy to follow
Thank you for the video- helped me fix my vacuum!
Thankyou for your informative video...
Helped me get that bin/canister reinstalled!
Mick
Thanks so much for this video. I just received a refurbished one from eBay and man was it dirty inside. So I wanted to make sure it was completely cleaned out.
Glad I could help
The rest of the story: I called Dyson twice re my lid off of the cannister. Initially it was suggested I view a video they would send to me. It was useless. Second time: I was told that lid should NEVER come off & if it does the cannister needs to be replaced. As she interacted with the tech & returned with his clear answer that is could NOT be put back, I waited til she was finished. While on hold I fiddled, again, with this knowledge about the tabs that you pointed out. . Presto, it worked! After her dire news I shared how it is in & working. Wrong response! She did warn me that this was just temporary.
I just got one of those in with the same problem! I'll record me fixing it and explain how to do it! glad to hear you got it fixed!
Brilliant using this to do a deep clean on my dyson to sell 🙂
thank you so much for this video It is exactly what I needed
Great video , helped me no end 👍
Great instructional video!
I saw in a earlier film (not by you) that is was possible so I did it. Now I have to order a new one. Thanks a lot for your help.
Not sure I understand what you're saying.
Thank you very much! My unit was stinking to high heaven and it was quite non-obvious to me how the heck to take it apart. I’m not sure how many times I can take that screen off, but the rest of it I can see happening on a regular basis for years to come. I’m very careful to line up with the previous original thread when I put the screws back in, So that should last a long time.There’s only so much dog dander you can vacuum up before these things start to smell. I bet a lot of people just throw them away!
This was very valuable, mostly figured it out apart from the bit with clips.
What you didn’t take apart is the bit with motor - that I would love to clean too
It’s a cost benefit analysis there. The time it takes and the dirt that’s possible to clean out is extremely unbalanced. I’ve found it to be a waste of time and effort. Thanks for the comment!
his is very useful to clean the dyson V8 I bought as spares, now I have 2 working machines
thank you, your video gave our v8 a stay of execution..
A new battery, new filters, and thorough cleaning (dusting ) seemed to solve the pulsing though occasionally was still doing it .. not sure if a factor, but with an aftermarket rear filter, two I bought seemed that they were causing a pulsing, so pulled out a newish Dyson brand filter (we had three V8s) this is the last one standing,.
The pulsing went away for a month or so, but returned,so watched your video, deep cleaned .. we shall see .. not buying Dysons again .. seems the lifespan is approximately 2-3 years, so we reverted to a cheap corded stick we brought for cabin, that and a built-in system..
one other thing, many buy new vac etc. for new houses or post renovation.. watch out, plaster and drywall gyprock dust kills vacuums.. especially if the forced air system was not cleaned out post handover ..
Thanks for the video. I’m watching it because I’ve got a very bad smell everytime I use it. Had to strip it apart to give it a good clean
you're welcome! :)
Perfect well made video! Thank you, sir. 🍻
Thanks for the video!🤠👍
Thanks very helpful
Thank you watching this video helped me very much
YW
Thanks for not ranting for 5 minutes, good how to vid.
LOL you’re welcome
Thank you. I think the hardest part is putting the cup back in. Mind you, I did not do a total strip down of this vac but I did take the 3 main parts apart. Couldn't get the darn cup back in. Very hepful!
thanks for the comment! Glad to help!
This video is perfect. thank you
YW
awesome video dude thanks! 😊🙏
you're welcome. thank you!
Thank so much your video. ❤
Hey thank you for this! Great walkthrough - I had sucked up some rice and some water and then hadn’t emptied the bin and it had gotten all gunky and smelly inside, tearing this down to do a proper clean and reassembling - it’s all back to normal now!!
Definitely found removing the cylindrical filter (wedging the flathead screwdriver around the edges) to be the toughest part, was scared of breaking it, but managed to eventually pry it off!
Appreciate this and thank you!
you're welcome!
Wow! Thank you so much.... I clean for a living and pretty much figured it out but I was afraid I’d break something. This gave me confidence I wasn’t going to mess up
YW
This was about as clean and straightforward as a tutorial can get - I wouldn't change a thing. Question for you, my V8 seems to hold most of the dirt in the cyclone area. I have pulled it apart and washed each piece with soap, water, and a pipe cleaner. Have you seen/fixed this issue before? My last resort will be to apply a spray-on wax to the disassembled parts to reduce friction. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for making this video
You’re welcome!! Thanks for the comment!
Thank you!
What a brilliant video. I am now the Dyson Technician in my house !! - please keep doing these - brilliant.
thanks you saved me
Thank you........... You made my day
5-star video!
Thank you I thought I broke it but this video showed me it wasnt!!!
Thanks you very much
All good thanks.
Pro tip. Wear you some gloves. Vacuums pick up lots of things, many of them, like glass dust, don’t jive with skin.
Thanks for the breakdown and reassembly tips!
Thanks! I’m not saying i won’t take you’re advice but I have also been not wearing gloves for most vacuum repairs for 15+ years. 😁. There are some I will definitely wear gloves on but sometimes it effects my ability to handle minute objects accurately. But thank you
This video was a way faster way to know how to emty the dust bin, then try to read the intructions. Thanks.
Thank youuuu GOD Bless🙏🏼❤️
Pulsing is also a sign the middle filter is clogged and needs washing. But yeah, any kind of clog causes it to pulse on and off.
Yes thank you!!!!
YW :)
Very useful video. May I ask if the parts can be washed? Not the motor, obviously.
Yes.
Great video. Can you recommend a replacement battery for this mode. The genuine ones are really expensive.
You can search Amazon and check reviews for replacement batteries.
My little red flapper is off and can’t get it back in. Any tips? :) thanks!
My v8 has star/Torx screws. I'm thinking maybe because it's refurbished, since no videos I've watched have mentioned it. If you find yourself in the same situation, you can use a flat head screwdriver or a hex key/allen wrench, but they have to be the exact same size. good luck.
All the V8s I have worked on have torx too. What makes you think it’s refurb?
thank you so much for this detailed video! unfortunately when I was putting mine back together i think I did something wrong, because now it's very difficult to empty the dustbin :(( the red garbage tab doesn't slide out smoothly at all, it's a real struggle. do you maybe know what I did or how to find out/fix it?
the cyclone part goes smoothly up & down by itself, but as soon as I add the dustbin it gets stuck
it also looks like I don't have as tight a seal between the cyclone where the red garbage tab is and the motor housing :// what could I have done wrong during reassembly to cause that?
I recommend taking a part are reassembling carefully. Can’t be sure what you did wrong. But that’s about all I can do to help without seeing it myself
Brilliant video! What brand is your electric screwdriver? Love it and want the same
it's not electric it's pneumatic (air driven) and the company that makes it is Florida Pneumatic. I don't know if they make this particular model anymore though as it's probably about 40 years old.
After reinstalling the dirt cup there is some resistance when lifting the cyclone component. Any thoughts to what may cause this?
Tough to know for sure without seeing it. I would recommend removing cyclone and dirt cup and reinstalling again. It's possible something wasn't seated properly.
I loved the tutelage! However, what I was looking for you did not cover (probably because no one else has had this issue!) I don't clearly know how I had done this. Putting the vacuum into its charger the dirt cup's lid (that keeps the dirt in place) popped off. How the Hey can I get it back in place without cracking the lid?
Thanks. I’m not sure how to explain it over text. The little knobs are slightly tapered on one end to allow for you to pop them in. I’ve never had one break. Best of luck!
I will give it a try, many, many thinks for your assistance. If you wanna-do a mini 2 minute video on a "How To" with the tapered tiny tabs I'll get my pop corn lined up & watch it until I get it!
how you open the V7 motorhead post filter , its hard for to open it or to twist it (unclock wise)
Some are not removable. That's possibly the one you have.
Great video. Do you know how to remove the nozzle from clear bin?
Can you be more specific?
@@richardsvacuumcenter The part where the tools are attached to the bin. I want to clean around the flap inside.
@@elaineahn2753 oh I see. It’s actually not possible to remove that section without breaking the clear bin. There are internal clips and they refuse to come loose with prying (I’ve tried). There’s only a certain amount of pressure I will apply to plastic parts before I know they are about to break. This is one of those parts. Compressed air is best method to remove any build up in there! 👍🏼
Richard how do you clean the Bleu filter?...
Soap and water and let it dry before you use it again. ☺️
Hello! When I pull up on the lever to empty the bin, it gets stuck. I’ve tried pulling it out as well by pressing the res buttons inside and that doesn’t work. It’s stuck rigid. Any tips?
Hmm that’s a tricky one. I’m not entirely sure what is causing your hang up. Have you tried removing the clear bin with the red release latch at the bottom?
The shroud over the electrical assembly could have come loose due to the 2 internal thread could have cracked and cause your bin to jam stuck.
I figured it out! The dust bin has a rubber seal that squeezes the chrome cylinder as you push and pull. I must've cl3aned the lubricant off. I took a cotton ball, sprayed some wd40 and lightly coated the cylinder. Good to go.
this is crazy difficult! i’m not getting one. too many parts for me to handle. good luck to all of you ✌🏼
Ok
Your the man !! Thank u so much for making this video
Please start a cash app
Dude thanks , did u just use torx driver t10 ? Or also used t15 and t8?
Thanks in advance
Respect from Turkey🇹🇷
you'll need a torx t8. you're welcome!
Can you help? I have a Dyson V7 and the trigger switch quit working. It runs constantly. Weird thing is the light comes on when I pull the switch and goes out when I release it. However, the engine will not shut off. I had to pull the battery to finally turn it off.
I would replace the battery. The on/off switch is located inside the battery and it sounds like yours is faulty.
Lol where's the motor? That thing works by magic lol!😳
Hi! my v8 vacuum does not release the container to remove the garbage, it got stuck and could not release it, what can I do?
I’m not exactly sure. That’s a tough issue for me to help you on as there could be many things causing that.
What’s the torx bit size u are using for 5:25? My smallest is a size 10
T8 :)
Is the screen on the cyclone washable on the V7?
I’m assuming you mean the metal color mesh? If so yes it’s washable.
Hi Can the small flap inside the suction spout be replaced or will I need to replace the whole bin?
I don’t think so.
@@richardsvacuumcenter so need a new bin assembly? Is the flap just to stop debris falling out when the vacuum is held vertically?
@@nicknicolaou8512 yes that is correct.
@@nicknicolaou8512 you only need a new bin if you want to replace it. If you are careful it will work find if you just remove the flap.
@@richardsvacuumcenter great so can do without the flap then. Thank you so much for your quick response. Have a good day and keep up the good work. 👍
What's the electric screwdriver you used do you have a link for it pls thank you
It's not electric it's pneumatic (air powered) :) It's probably 50 years old so I don't have a link.
@@richardsvacuumcenter ok thank you keep the good work up
How do you remove the red parts from the bin? There is one screw but can't get it off the clips.
Can you give me the time stamp on what part you're talking about?
Yes, it's 0:45 when your holding the can you will notice the red ring on top. That comes off but I can't get it off all the way.
@@MIKEYSREVIEWS I actually don't have one of those models in the shop right now to give you a certain answer. I will comment back once I've had a chance to take a closer look at one. Is there a particular reason you are wanting to remove that red part?
Collects dust under there and also clean the contacts. There two contacts in that bin.
@@MIKEYSREVIEWS Got ya! Ok. When one comes in I'll take a look and get back to you! Sorry I can't help you right away here.
I would gladly pay you to help me with this problem I have the same machine you just tore down and it has a flapper that opens up and that’s where the debris falls out. It’s clear plastic flapper and it fell apart and I cannot get that clear plastic bottom the snap back in and I’m scared if I force it I’m gonna break off the plastic tooth that goes in a grooveof the canister part that holds all the junk and any suggestions
Vacuum repairman shows how to fix your broken dyson V7, V8, or V10 dirt cup!

Hello I’m currently working on a v8 Dyson fluffy and when I hook up the attachments the roller heads won’t spin but it’s sucks just fine, any ideas?
Have you checked to see if they will work directly connected (without the wand)?
@@richardsvacuumcenter yes sir I have, I’ve tried 3 different attachments and checked resistances for the heads and all check good. Vacuum sucks good but none of the heads will spin.
@@leppertbowhunting8089 Ok. So. I have seen this issue before on a few occasions. Unfortunately what I found with others doing the same thing is that the board has failed somehow. My guess is that water caused the issue but there is no reason to go forward because you cannot get the board separate from the entire motor assembly. You'll probably have to replace the motor assembly.
@@richardsvacuumcenter thank you for your time and the information, much appreciated
Sorry if there is some confusion on the differences between the V6/V7/V8. I honestly could have sworn that I have worked on some models that had V7 on them that were identical to the V6. Currently the V7 and V8 are identical in regards to the cyclone and dirt cup. If anyone has a V7 that is NOT identical to the one in this video I would love to know! :)
Quick question, I have a Dyson v8 Animal and all of a sudden, when opening it to empty the canister it feels like the upper rubberized red seal inside the dust bin is binding to the filter, it's dragging heavily and slowly, the rubber feels like it is gripping the metal mesh inside the dust canister. Do you have any idea how or even *if* this can be fixed, it almost feels like something is misaligned.
Did you disassemble it? Or have you done any thing or had anything done to it prior to noticing this issue?
@@richardsvacuumcenter No, I hadn't taken it apart previous to this issue, it just started randomly one day. After the issue was noticed I have since taken it apart and reassembled it many times and the same issue is still present to the same degree.
@@shieldsyau I've seen those break before. You probably should just replace the clear bin and that will solve your issue most likely.
