Dyson sells parts by machine, and even within one model the parts can differ. A V11 can take one of two batteries, and Dyson splits V8 parts by filter type. This guide gets you from your machine to the right…
A dirty filter is the first cause Dyson lists for poor suction, and it shows up in Dyson’s lists for pulsing and short runtime too. Dyson filter cleaning is simple, but the details change by model: how the filter comes…
The motor runs, but the brush bar in the cleaner head just sits there. Dyson says a jammed brush bar is “quite common, particularly in houses where there are pets, or people with long hair.” A Dyson brush bar not…
It still runs, but it leaves dust behind. A Dyson vacuum losing suction rarely means the motor is failing. Dyson’s own support pages list four causes for poor performance, and only one of them involves a setting rather than cleaning.…
Most Dyson problems people search for, like weak suction, pulsing and short runtime, appear on Dyson’s own list of causes as a dirty filter, a dusty cyclone or clogged tools. Knowing how to clean a Dyson vacuum properly fixes or…
You put your Dyson on charge and the lights don’t do what you expect. Before you assume it’s dead, read them: on several models, no lights on the charger simply means the battery is full. When a Dyson is not…
Short runtime is the usual reason people start looking for a Dyson battery replacement. Before you order one, two things matter: whether the battery is really the problem, and which of Dyson’s batteries your machine takes. Dyson uses different packs…
The motor surges, drops, surges again. A Dyson vacuum pulsing like this usually isn’t broken. Dyson’s manuals say the motor pulses when there’s a blockage. Find what’s restricting the air and the pulsing usually stops. Quick answer: A pulsing Dyson…
You pull the trigger and nothing happens. A Dyson vacuum not turning on is usually telling you something through its battery lights or screen, and Dyson publishes what each pattern means. Read the lights first, then work through the checks…
Shark makes a lot of vacuums, and most parts only fit a few of them. A filter kit for a Navigator won’t fit a Stratos cordless, and some Vertex batteries can’t be swapped at all. This guide takes you from…
