    We have a V6 since they came out and I never knew you could remove the sock of the filter. Our V6 was having the pulsating problem and this time I couldn't find where the blockage was until I saw this video, now it is working again and the best, it has recovered A LOT of suction power, I never realized it had slowly lost power. Thanks a lot.

      That’s awesome, definitely makes a huge difference and we appreciate you sharing this. A vacuum performing as if it was brand new is always a good thing.
      Great to hear your vacuum suction has enhanced since the cleaning. Awesome job making it a DIY project.

    You are a life saver!. Been ready to sling the thing out but after watching your video and learning there’s clips that you can release on the filter. I discovered a load of hard twigs, and impacted dust. Did exactly what you said and it’s now up and running. Thank you, thank you, thank you. X

    U r a diamond in a sea of glass! Had no idea my top filter was so HORRENDOUSLY DIRTY even though I thought I cleaned it properly…the removal of the outer sock was genius and once removed I saw it was clogged to the middle with hard dried debris…UNREAL! And it took me almost twenty minutes to clean out WHAT I COULDNT SEE INITIALLY…from the sock after I had removed the skeleton …debris just came out like a never ending well of crud…so I’m letting it dry 24 hours and praying for the best ..so much appreciated …better than Dyson could ever explain …stay blessed

We just bought this vacuum and it suddenly would pulse four times and then stop working, and I didn’t realize the whole base canister was removable and there was a huge piece of bread crust jammed and one of the valves that was causing the problem! I would’ve never known to do that without your help. I would have thought that our vacuum was somehow defective! Thank you so much again and have a wonderful day! God bless you and your family:)

      Very kind of you to share, we appreciate that. The internal portion of the sock can definitely gather a significant amount of dust and debris over the years if not clean…ultimately causing the vacuum to get to a point where it tells you…ya know what, I’m done until you clean the internal portion of the filter housing…🤣

    Surprising blockage. I have cleaned the Dyson more than a few times over the years but the latest problem was the power cutting out. I have washed the blue filter before, so this time as you suggested I removed the washable part from the plastic and was shocked to see a large solid blob of hair and dust. Obviously every time I have washed it the dust and hair have combined just like a big mud pie and then dried solid. Thanks for the tip.

    Thank you so much for showing us how to take that filter apart. I had no idea! And I'd had my stick vacuum for a long time, and I just got a new battery. I got it on Amazon. I think I paid $26 for it. Not bad, got it replaced. It's on the charger even though it says it's fully charged. I stuck it in there anyway. But I put the clean filter in that they sent, and I decided. I'd wash the other one because I usually do them every 3 months, so I figured It wasn't too dirty, but I took it apart like you suggested, but after I soaked it a little. I always put a couple drops of Dawn dish soap in there and rub it together between my hands, like a tube and squish out all that dirt and then rinse for like 5 minutes with cold water until it runs completely clear. And then I let it air dry overnight. Well. Twenty-four hours. But I live in Arizona, so I put it out in the sun. It'll be dry in two minutes.....lol..lol

    My unit (same model) stops fairly rapidly during use especially under max power setting. I get 10 blue flashes so I would reconnect to the charger briefly and unplug when solid blue light appears, usually within seconds, then disconnect charger and unit would restart again.🤔 I would have to repeat this process to clean an entire room which becomes a nuissance.
    Any suggestions? Is this a sign that it is time to replace the battery pack?

    We have the Dyson V7 "Fluffy" Why? Because we have 3 big "Fluffy" dogs and our died after 2 years. We assumed either sensor or battery issue. Battery's fine it was either the inner filter or the exhaust filter or both. Too complex, the Rubik's Cube of vacuum cleaners. We had an Electrolux cannister for over twenty years, fill bag, replace bag, 60 seconds back in action. V7, an hour to take apart and clean, 24 hours to dry the inner and exhaust filters! And don't get me going on that silly inner filter. I watched 3 "Pros" wrestle with getting that thing open, I tried but was concerned I was going to break it, someone on another post stated they were back ordered and after 6 months had still not received their new filter order! Any replacement suggestions?

    If you get the flashing blue again. Do not replace the battery. A new battery does squat. With these older vacuums, there was and issue with underpowered batteries in these vacuums. The issue lies using max setting. While using the vacuum with the wand attached and using the brush roll causing load and overheating on max setting. Also the radial seals in the powerhead, that surrounds the motor which is a flat rubber ring with air passages that holds the motor in the housing becomes blocked and caked with fine dust and blocks some of the passages adding to the temperature rise in the motor adding more load to the battery demands. This was a design flaw on dysons part. A new battery will only last 3 months under heavy use. I know these vacuums have pet attachments, however constant pet grooming and constant rough garbage like dried mud, pebbles from the road, drywall dust, sawdust and any industrial debris is not recommended either. Max setting should only really be used for non electric motorized brush roll attachments, with or without the wand. Because the wires that run through the wand for the motorized powerhead develop lots of load to the electric motorized head on max setting. Here to its also a good idea to check the power brush contacts on the dustbin for corrosion. Now for the wand to check the connection for grounds, shorts or faults you need a voltmeter. If you have weak continuity from one of the terminals to the tubing of the wand you have a ground and your battery will drain or the powerbrush will slightly bog or squeal under load. Loose wand on the unit also contributes to electrical issues. Now hoe to reset this. If the vacuum cuts out every 15 seconds constantly or intermittently from time to time. Depress the trigger. While running for 5 seconds, push the max button to off position. If it's already off. Stop after 5 seconds. Now with the wand attachment off, put it on the charger until the light goes off again. ( may take half hour or 45 minutes). If you don't do this the first time by sticking it on the charger the vacuum will go off after 15 seconds then you'll have to start over again. Once the vacuum light goes off on the charger. Try it again on low setting, it should work. However remember it's up to the operator how they use the vacuum. Use it heavy with all the motorized power attachments on high, you'll get that same fault. With a new battery under the same conditions your new battery may last from 3 to 9 months and your back at the beginning. Eventually it can get so bad that the red flash of death appears then you are totally screwed. There are also bulletins even recommending not to constantly use the device on high settings constantly. These vacuums are not shop vacs. Remember it's like an automobile. It's equipped with max throttle, if you constantly race your vehicle and run it at high throttle and rat bag it constantly, eventually it will break. Take other youtube repair links with a grain of salt on these vacuums. I like this video. As an experienced vacuum repair technician I see a lot of these vacuums given away when the fault lies with the inexperienced. I'm just putting this out there for future reference for these sophisticated computerized digital motor vacuums. Great video 👍👍👍👍

      My V6 dyson(sv03) when I run it turns on for about 30s then flashes amber 2 short flashes, then long, then repeats this about 4 cycles. I have done pretty in-depth cleaning on this, learning from other videos on dyson v6 cordless. I have taken it completely( dismantled 100%), worked very well until I thought original battery was done. I purchased off market replacement. Wondering if this might be issue, as I’ve read from other posts. The original battery/unit is about 5-6yr old. That’s why thought after I cleaned it all out, filters included it was the battery. Now the replacement does this. Wondering if you can provide some advice. Could there be fine dirt built up in the motor housing or behind circuit board? I don’t want to mess with circuit board unneedingly.

    • @Ecksterphono
      @Ecksterphono Рік тому

      ​@jenniferweisenberg3605 . Most likely yes. However over time and abrasive activity of fine dust the circuit board for the brushless motor can cause shorting to the point of causing resistors to become damaged and other circuitry not to respond to the battery control unit. Also aftermarket batteries can have slight issues with fluctuations in output and aren't quality controlled and the thermistors in the aftermarket batteries may not be up to par which prevents battery from excessive heat. Always best with these vacuums is to use a factory battery. The magnets in the rotor part of the unit mat also be weak. If the ceramic housing has any types of nicks or even hairline cracks, then any expansion may cause imbalance and slight vibration may cause heat issues. Yellowing of the ceramic housing indicates heat fatigue over prolonged use and age of the unit. 5 or 6 years is quite a long time under heavy use and adverse conditions. Over time even the best products do break down. With these vacuums there can be a lot of factors from pitted bearings to abrasive wear, to overheated circuit boards causing components and connections to weaken over time to weakening of the windings and weak polarity of the magnet system

    In addition to the tricks that you showed, when I am emptying my vacuum, I GENTLY tap the unit on the edge of my supercan and dusts falls out of the central tube.

      I just did the same tapping thing and an amazing amount of gunk came out. Waiting for the sock to dry to see if it fixed my problem. Fingers crossed.

    Check the red flapper check valve in the intake just before the canister. Mine was stuck shut by sticky gunk. Works good now

    I couldn't work out why it kept stopping.
    Hidden in the head of the cleaner to the side was a huge build up of fluff.
    Check the head - the end sides.

    Thanks. I've rinsed the filtre under the tap but never opened it up. Quite the mess in there. The inlet at the top also had a hair plug that was not helping. Love my pups but they do breed dust bunnies. Anyway, another item to add it to the list of things to do from time to time.

    I pulled mine to pieces then I blasted it with the compressed air you should have seen the dust and clumps of hair that came out of every nooks and cranny in the vacuum cleaner then I pulled the roller out and blasted it with air now it sucks really great. So if you know someone with a compressor give it a go. The long taper filter was half full of dust it was chocked the air got rid of it by washing would never get rid of it.

    So when I was opening the vacuum instead of pressing the red button, I accidentally broke a little plastic piece on the back but it still closes. Does that affect the vacuum? And my vacuum has been charging it’s a new battery, but it still will stop and start and I emptied it and all of that what else can I do?

    • @DIYwithMichaelBorders

      Thanks for watching, any update? Is the battery an OEM Dyson battery or an aftermarket?
      We have found over the years that aftermarket batteries tend to wear out and become faulty in as a little as three months old.
      Purchasing OEM Dyson battery is the way to go. Please keep us posted.

    You had the right at 0:55 that is exactly where the Dyson vacuum belongs!

    If you have a mains powered vac you are better to use that to suck out the opened filter prior to rinsing. I also use the mains powered to suck out any dust etc after the bin has been removed and also where the filter goes in. These sticks are the worst when you need another vac to actually clean it properly. If I didnt have shoulder and back issues I would be happy to use my big vac all the time. :)
