Hello, thank you so much for the video. It was very easy to follow and informative. The only minor thing I would add to this is when putting the replacement hose there is a slot in the back that the hose slides into. Again appreciate the help.
Many thx for the step by step, screw by screw :) explanation. Ordered the part off Amazon for about $20.00 and installed per your video. Works like a champ thx!
Just what I was looking for. I need to do this to fix my D40. Found in fact that the Change Over Valve was disintegrated between all the coils, and getting no suction. Thanks for the detailed steps. Parts ordered!
Would never had figured out how to disassemble without your video! Vacuum repair store said they could not fix because part is on permanent back order. All internet searches confirmed that. Only place I finally found part was eBay.
Thanks so much for your time and willingness to share your knowledge and expertise. Your tutorial has helped many people to change out this defective part. Thanks again.
Very helpful information. Thank you. Top tip - when putting self-threading screws back into their holes - turn the screw backwards until the threads click then screw in normally. That way you don’t risk it cuttings new thread and stripping out the hole. One that happens the screw will never screw tight. :-(
Thank you! This was a great video. Very descriptive and helpful to change the COV. Was quoted $160 for the part plus labour from Dyson. Ordered the part from Ebay for a fraction of the price. Appreciate it!
Just fixed it thanks to you. I found the problem but had no idea how to solve the issue until I found your video. Helpful even down to the part number. Thank you!
Overall, VERY helpful. Thank you! 2 small critiques: (1) volume is VERY low; and (2) sometimes you would say things like "and put this here" while your hands were in the way and I could not see the "this" or the "here." But that said, this was great. I especially like that you said what size bits were needed for the screws. Since most bit kits, including mine, do not typically include a T8, it was good to know what size I needed.
All good points, to be honest I had no idea almost 35,000 people would watch the video. My son and I made it very quickly. If I had any idea this many people would be watching we'd probably have done a better job.
Hello, this video is priceless because I did not see anyone doing this piece. I have a question regarding the screw with the plastic washer. I did not see how you did it. Can you provide some info as to how I put that screw back. Thanks again for all your help.
I used a bit of Blu Tack to hold the screw and plastic washer onto the end of the screwdriver so I could easily insert it back into the hole. You might need to switch the back wheels from floor to hose mode to see the hole.
Hi Andrew. V clear and constructive vid. This may be covered in comments, but not only am I having major league problems with the “fiddly screw”, I’m struggling to get any purchase on the easier one above it (if that makes sense) and the earlier one which secured the pipe to the machine. Just seem to be turning forever. Guess I’ve already knackered the thread? Thanks S
@@andrewjones586 Thanks. God knows. Got the fiddly one in eventually, so it’s just the other two. Don’t know how a I could have knackered thread, as just unscrewed and tried to retighten.
What kind and size of screwdriver are you using at point 1:07 - I cannot even get going because I cannot get the screws to budge!!! 🤬Don't want to give up but I don't want to ruin the thread of the screw with my botched attempts.
are all of the dyson uprights mostly the same as regards this? I have this problem and i have the DC75 and was wondering if the steps would be the same pretty much.
Thank you so much for this I have just ordered one from Amazon. I'm unsure though what screwdriver you use. Is it a torque or torx or does it not matter? Amazon has torx sets for £6.and it does say t8 and t15 in there But not sure if they are the right ones. Appreciate any help thanks:)
@@dawn1549 we were the same, we were about to get a new one and then I realised the changeover valve had a hole. It's easy to change when you know what to do and very cheap in comparison! No point making Mr Dyson even richer! Let me know how you get on!
What a great help best video on here on how to do this job, even an absolute novice with a toolset did it and I’m feeling proud with myself 😁 thanks pal 🤌🏻💯 and now the spiders don’t stand a chance
I'm glad you got it changed! To be honest Dyson products are not the easiest thing to start fixing! They always seem to be designed for maximum complexity. What you going to fix next...?
Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to repair or change out the changeover valve ($9.00 part) on my Dyson DC40. I'm so grateful!
I'm glad you got it fixed! Nobody want's to make Mr Dyson even richer!
Just used your video to make the repair successfully. Many thanks!
Simple to follow, and I was able to fix my 12 year old Dyson.
Glad you got it fixed!
Thank you so much, got my machine back running again. Much appreciated!!

This was a lifesaver. My hardest time always is trying to remember where the screws went.
Exactly, there's always one that seems to be redundant!
Brilliant video, only needed to watch it once and got the gist and all sorted 👍🏻
You made this way, way easier than the methods shown by others. THANK YOU Andrew!
Very helpful video for me to complete the job. Thank you!
Hi Andrew.. Thanks for sharing this awsome detailed video. I have changed mine one today and now its working perfect.. Saved almost £100...thanks
Just what I was looking for. I need to do this to fix my D40. Found in fact that the Change Over Valve was disintegrated between all the coils, and getting no suction. Thanks for the detailed steps. Parts ordered!
Got the part and tools today and did the fix. It’s like I have a brand new vacuum! 😃
Thanks for the video!

I found the part available on Amazon here in the UK. Glad you got it fixed!
Awesome, I just fixed my DC40 thanks to your instructions. Otherwise I had no idea how to get to that part 👍👍
Thanks so much for your time and willingness to share your knowledge and expertise. Your tutorial has helped many people to change out this defective part. Thanks again.
Cheers, I really can't believe how many people have watched it! Over 30,000! Are there really that many DC40's out there?
Thanks Andrew - instructions worked a treat!
Glad you got it fixed! Happy 2022!
Great instructions, I followed to a red and got it done in ten minutes, got lucky getting that screw with the plastic piece back in.
Just watched your video on 3/28/22 and installed a new one! Thanks for the tutorial. It helped so much.
Glad it helped!
Followed this video and did the entire thing in 10 minutes! As quoted elsewhere, it’s like a brand new vacuum. Thank you very much!
Glad you got it fixed.
the changeover valve was ok in mine but your handy video led me to a pencil of all things jammed inside it! thanks for the vid!
I'm surprised more stuff doesn't get stuck at that bend. I'm glad you fixed it!
Great video! Thanks for putting this up. Had the same issue and fixed it in £10 using this tutorial.
Just what the doctor ordered, got our old Dyson back working again. Took more than 10 minutes though.
I'm glad you got it fixed! I bet it's like new again? Ours must have been broken for a couple of years and somehow we lived with the reduced suction.
Very helpful information. Thank you.

Hi Avo, It's great you got it fixed. It makes such a difference!
Thank you so much!!! This video helped me a lot to order the right part and replace it. Saved me 500$ to buy a new dyson.
Thanks to this video I managed to replace my broken DC40 change over hose.
Great news!
Thanks so much Andrew for your video. It saved me $400 USD on a new vacuum. God bless.
Great to hear!
Just fixed it thanks to you. I found the problem but had no idea how to solve the issue until I found your video. Helpful even down to the part number. Thank you!
Great! No need to be making Mr Dyson even richer by buying a new one!
Thank you so much for this video. Very easy to follow with clear instructions. Dyson is now working like new.
I'm glad you got it fixed!
Thank you for this. Fixed our dyson today. 👍
Epic video, easily followable. I’m about to tackle this myself as “push along” mode is as much use as a chocolate teapot on mine!
Good luck!
Exactly what I needed and easy to follow. Thank you!
Really helpful video, many thanks Andrew.
Really helpful. Thanks!
Thanks. Worked a treat!
Fantastic! I fixed my vacuum (which I had found in a dumpster when someone was moving out of a nearby house).

I used needle nose pliers to hold it
I did all that with taking my vacuum apart. And I can’t find the problem.

I'm not really sure, I wonder if you can add some glue to the thread before putting it back in?

I'm afraid I don't know. I've only got a DC40.
The part indicated here, P/N 922625-03, can be used for DC50?
Sorry, I don't have a DC50 so I can't say.
Thank you so much for this I have just ordered one from Amazon. I'm unsure though what screwdriver you use. Is it a torque or torx or does it not matter? Amazon has torx sets for £6.and it does say t8 and t15 in there But not sure if they are the right ones. Appreciate any help thanks:)
Yes Torx it is. Like a little star shaped blade. Good luck swapping it over!
Thank you thats very kind of you to help. I was quoted £80 to get this fixed! I've ordered what I need for a total of £17 :)

I've done it!
you were right about one screw being a little fiddly but your blu tak tip worked perfect.
Thank you so much its like new again :)
@@dawn1549 well done! I'm glad you got it fixed.
My problem is the the spring mechanism that switches the COV is broken. I can't find the part because I don't know what is is called. Can you help?
A quick search on Google shows Dyson p/n 924961-01. Is that what you're after?
Where do I order this part
In the UK I got mine from Amazon
I guess I'll be buying a new one, this is too complicated
Well, if you are going to buy a new one, and don't really care if you destroy your existing one, why not give it a go?
You arm is on the way half a the time 🙄
