fiter is dead clogged up inside. you could wash it 50 times still wont unclog. simple fix, just buy a new filter and empty bin more often in the future and wash filter every month and fit new one every two years
Question edited for clarity and typos. Please don't call a Dyson a 'Hoover' (registered name of Hoover Inc), James Dyson will be very upset. :>D
Yes you can buy batteries very easily, but you need ascertain that it is the battery, or the charger, or the control board? With a digital multimeter it is very easy to check battery and charger, but you will need Dyson service to diagnose a board issue.

Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson.The filters in our handheld machines should be washed at least once a month using cold water without detergent. However, they should always be allowed to try completely before they're replaced, which may take at least 12 hours. It can help to place the filter somewhere warm - for example, by a radiator, or in an airing cupboard.Unfortunately, if you have used your machine with a wet filter in place, this is likely to have caused damage to the motor. Using your machine with a wet filter will also have voided the machine's 2-year guarantee.I would encourage you to get in touch with us directly so we can confirm which replacement parts you may need to get the machine running again. You can reach our customer Helpline on 0800 298 0298 (UK), or 1-866-693-9766 (US).Best wishes,JackDyson Online Customer Supporthttp://www.dyson.com
Hello, this is Ava with Think Crucial.
There are a number of reasons why your Dyson is acting that way. First, it can be due to a battery of the cleaner. Make sure that the power cable is properly plug to the power and seated properly from the unit while charging. If you find that the battery isn't charging at all, you may need to replace the battery. Second is to check the MAX button of your cleaner. If the button lights up and flashes when your Dyson keeps on pulsating, press and hold the power button and depress the MAX button to turn off the function. You may need to do it for a few times to get the hang of it. Third is to check for any blockages or clogs in the attachments. Look down through the tube and check to see if there are clogs on the sweeper end or if the roller is tangled up in fibers. Clean the roller brush are if it it's necessary. You may need to empty the dust bin of your unit as debris can build up in hard to reach places. Lastly, cleaning the filters may fix the pulsating of your cleaner. Remove the filter and rinse it with cold water and air dry it for 12 hours. Don't use detergent when washing your filters. If the pulsating doesn't go with the given quick fix, I suggest to contact Dyson for further assistance on this.

Hi Cathy, it's Jack at Dyson.DC35 Animal will make a pulsing sound to indicate that something is blocking the airflow through the machine. Although I note you've already checked for this, the issues you've described strongly suggest a blockage inside the motorised floor tool that you may have missed. This would also explain the loss of performance you've noticed.In this instance I would encourage you to get in touch with our experts directly so we can walk you through some troubleshooting checks, as we should be able to resolve this right over the phone. You can reach us on 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), or 1-877-397-6622 (CA).We'll look forward to hearing from you.Best wishes,JackDyson Online Customer Supportwww.dyson.com
I found my MAX button had a crack in it, which was causing it to grab on the sides of the button hole, I tried various methods to free the button, but in the end I resorted to ripping the button cap off. Below the button cap is the max/normal switch itself. It now functions as it should, but is missing the MAX button cap, not really an issue for me, though if I could find a new MAX button somewhere I'd put it on, it looks like it should push straight on.
Hi Laurie, it's Jack at Dyson.
We'd advise against dismantling your DC35 any further than is shown in the user guide, as this could cause damage to the machine. DC35's V2 digital motor is manufactured in a clean-room environment - it should not be removed from the main body.
If your DC35 doesn't seem to be working correctly we'd appreciate the opportunity to take some further details. You can reach our experts directly on 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), 1-877-397-6622 (CA) or 1800 239 766 (AU).
We'll look forward to hearing from you.

Hello, this is Ava with Think Crucial.
There are a number of reasons why your brush roller has stopped moving. General maintenance to your vacuum is crucial and will help it work at peak performance.
First things first lets focus on the brush roller. Unplug the vacuum and turn it on its side. Look for any noticeable clumps of debris or hair strands that may be caught in the brush roller. Remove these obstructions, probably best to do so with a scissor if it's hair or long pieces of carpet fibers. After removing the debris try manually rotating the brush roller to uncover other hidden clogs. Another thing to take note of is the condition of the bristles on the roll itself. Are they loose or worn down? These are signs that your brush roller is in need of replacing.
While checking out your brush roll you might as well take a look at your vacuums belt. Your belt should be replaced about every three months. After regular usage, the belt will stretch out, lessening the tension on the brush roller. Lesser tension diminishes the brush roller's turn rate and speed. If the belt feels loose then it certainly is affecting your vacuums suction as well as your brush roll not moving at all.

Hi, thought I would add my experience to assist others. My brush bar on my DC35 would run for say 10 seconds and then stop but the motor did not cut out. I solved the problem by removing the brush bar and then undoing the screw of the plastic sprocket the bar end slots into. I prised off the sprocket to find it clogged up with hair! I removed the hair gave it a squirt of GT85 and problem solved :) It was worth investigation before splashing out £50+ on a replacement motorhead assembly.
This means your battery is flat. When charging the battery if the green light on the charger is on then charge is getting to the battery. If the battery isn't holding a charge then you will need to replace the battery.
I had the same exact issue. I'd pill the on trigger and light would blink 1 per second.
Called dyson and was told I need a new battery which +tax and h&s would be just under $100 Canadian.
Having a bit of electronics background and experience with common household battery operated tools, I thought what is the likely reason for them to think I need a new battery, even if my battery wasn't dead.
first and simplest, safe thought was could it be the same thing that happens in your basic flashlights, if not used for a while. That is the connection between battery and device being dirty or obstructed somehow.
So, took battery out, saw the 3 connectors has a bit (very little) black on them. Wiped them clean with my finger. Did the same with the 3 connectors on device where battery goes in.
Put battery back back in and it was as good as new.
No no new battery, no special tools, no fancy work, no repair cost.
Wife is very happy and toddlers love using it to help clean.
