My dyson upright animal runs ok for 10min or so then cuts out. I have checked for blockages in all the places suggested in the manual and washed the motor filter but it still does the same. Any ideas?
1. Check the on/off button these can also be troublesome and if you've stood on the cable once or twice you could have a break in the wire and it's shorting, check by turning on and wiggle cable around where it enters machine.
2. Faulty thermocouple, it is held in a white plastic housing screwed with one T15 torx screw to the motor housing. You could replace it but I just shorted mine with some wire and it hasn't failed since and more importantly not caught fire yet!

Dear Rustysheriff, I found your advice useful but need some help to locate the thermocouple. My Dyson is purple and grey plastic and I cannot see any white plastic housing. Please could tou advise me as to what covers I need to remove to find it? thanks
