I am the same problem too.

    Just had exactly the same problem. Removed the attachments & looked up the pipe that goes into the dust collector. There is a little flap which had got wedged shut with a bit of grit. Popped it back open & all is fine! I read that 'pulsing' is a classic result of a blockage!

The pulsing is the vacuum trying to clear a jam. It is detecting a clog and pulses to try can clear the clog. Take apart the hoses for the motor base and the floor attachment and make sure it is clear. Most likely it is clogged up near the top going into the vacuum handle /power head assembly. Make sure your filter is clean , and the battery contacts do not have deposits on them. If they do , clean them with a ink eraser and very fine abrasive paper. You should be fine.

    there is a small door at the intake of the dirt bowl. When it gets stuck closed by debris, remove debris and gently push open the door/flapper.

    The pulsing is happening with our dc59 motorhead. The solution proposed above makes absolutely no sense for this model!
    There are no hoses, there is no motor base, there is no door / flapper.

    I do not know if the dc59 and dc59 motorhead are different.

    the hollow handle is a hose, make sure it is clean and free of a clog. take it apart and look inside all the tubes.... ours had a big clog mid pipe

Dyson DC59 and DC62 - vacuum makes a pulsing sound (removing a blockage)
Dyson Digital Slim DC59 and DC62 cordless vacuum cleaners are engineered to make a pulsing sound to let you know if they're blocked. This could happen if an item too large for the machine is accidentally vacuumed up. Our video support guide will help you identify and remove any obstructions from the motorised floor tool, wand or bin inlet.

My DC59 is making a chugging noise, as soon as I try to use it
Hi Mary, it's Jack at Dyson.

DC59 is engineered to make a pulsing noise to warn you if something is stopping airflow from passing through the machine. The motor will then shut itself down for protection.

This would usually be caused by a temporary blockage in the floor tool, wand or bin inlet, but the filter may also need a wash. Our video guide will walk you through each area to check:


I'm confident removing any blockages and giving the filter a wash will get your DC59 up and running again.

If you would like any further help after you've given this a try, just give the Dyson Customer Helpline a call on 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), 1-877-397-6622 (CA) or 1800 239 766 (AU).

When my dc59 is on boost it starting and stoping
Hi Paul, it's Jack at Dyson.

DC59's motor is engineered to make a pulsing noise to warn you if something is preventing airflow from passing through the machine. This could mean the washable pre-filter is overdue for a wash, but could also be caused by a blockage in the floor tool, wand or bin inlet.

Following the simple steps shown in our video guide should help you resolve this:


I'm confident that washing the filter and removing any obstructions will get your DC59 up and running again. But if you would like some further help after giving this a try, just call the Dyson Customer Helpline on 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), 1-877-397-6622 (CA) or 1800 239 766 (AU).

Why does my fully charged DC59 keep turning on and off
Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson.

DC59's motor will make a rapid pulsing noise to warn you if something is stopping airflow from passing through the machine. The motor will then shut off for protection.

This should be quick and easy to resolve by checking the motorised floor tool, wand and bin inlet for blockages. It's also a good idea to give the washable pre-filter a rinse in cold water if this hasn't been done recently - we recommend washing it at least once a month. Make sure the filter is allowed to dry completely for at least 24 hours before replacing it.


I'm confident this will resolve the issue. If you would like further assistance after giving these steps a try, please call the Dyson Customer Helpline on 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), 1-877-397-6622 (CA) or 1800 239 766 (AU).

I have got a Dyson DC59 and it is just doing short bursts and not doing anything else
Hi Pamela, it's Jack at Dyson.

DC59's motor is engineered to make a pulsing noise to signal if something is blocking airflow from passing through the machine. This could mean there's a blockage in the motorised floor tool, wand or bin inlet. Check the pivoting flap inside the bin inlet is not jammed, and can move freely, and you may also want to give the filter a wash.

To check for any obstructions, follow the simple steps shown in our video guide:

In normal use, we recommend washing the filter at least once a month using cold water without detergent. Allow at least 24 hours for the filter to dry completely before replacing it:


I'm confident this will resolve the issue. However if you'd like some further help from our experts after giving this a try, please call us on 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), 1-877-397-6622 (CA) or 1800 239 766 (AU).

My dylon DC59 isn't running smoothly ie it pulses, this didn't happen a week ago when I bought it?
Hi Sue, it's Jack at Dyson.

DC59 will pulse to let you know if something is blocking airflow from moving through the machine. You can resolve this easily by checking the floor tool, wand and bin inlet for any obstructions - the pre-filter may also need a wash. Just follow the steps shown in our video guide:

How do i know the dc59 needs charging
Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson.

The Dyson DC59 cordless vacuum has two LED indicator lights on either side of the handgrip, which you'll see where the battery attaches to the handgrip. These will flash to let you know when there's less than 1 minute of charge remaining.

Once the charge has depleted, the machine will shut off - the power won't trail away gradually as with some cordless products.

If your DC59 is making an intermittent pulsing noise when you hold down the on/off trigger, this is likely to be because a blockage in the motorised floor tool, wand or bin inlet is preventing airflow passing through the vacuum. If this is the case, please follow the steps shown in the video below to clear any obstructions:
