    SOURCE: I have a DC14 upright. When the Dyson is upright

    Hi there,

    Sorry to hear you're having difficulties with your DC14. The brush control of your cleaner includes a safety feature which makes a ratcheting sound to warn you when the brushbar is jammed. For a step-by-step illustrated guide demonstrating how to check for and remove obstructions from the cleaner head and brushbar, please see the link below:

    http://www.dyson.com/support/help.asp?article=669&product=DC14-ALLFLOORS_US

    By removing any threads, hair, or other obstructions which may be preventing the brushbar from spinning freely, you should be able to resolve your problem. However, if you've tried this and are still having difficulties, please get in touch with us directly so one of our experts can run through some troubleshooting over the phone with you. You can call us free on 08002980298 (UK), or 1866MYDYSON (US).

    Kind regards,

    Jack

    SOURCE: Dyson DC41 brush won't spin

    You need to check the belt hooked to the side of the brush (sometimes hidden by plastic)

    SOURCE: Dyson DC41 animal complete stuck in upright

    The wheels are probably jammed and won't recline. Mine was stuck pretty bad, and after a half hour of trying to figure it out I just picked up the vacuum and slammed the wheels pretty hard, and it came loose. No problem since. Pushing on it hard did nothing, and gave me the impression I could break the vacuum, but all it needed was a good jolt.

    No suction through brush or accessory pipe

    Clog somewhere. There may be a " secondary filter" that needs to be replaced. It may be there to "protect" the motor and blower.
    Check Owner's manual and it's troubleshooting. Customer service is usualy helpful if you email or call.

    Dyson DC41, DC43, DC65 or DC66 - Removing a blockage from the wand or hose

    If your Dyson DC41, DC43, DC65 or DC66 upright vacuum cleaner doesn't seem to be picking up as well as it should be through the hose, wand or cleaning tools, this may be due to a blockage. A blockage could occur if an item too big for the machine has been accidentally vacuumed up.

    After turning off and unplugging the machine, please follow the steps shown in the video to locate and remove any obstructions from the wand, hose and changeover valve.

    How do replace belt on dc41

    Ouch The video below shows how to to remove the brush head and how to clean it. I almost think that Dyson didn't ever expect this belt to break. The rest of the disassembly to get to the brush seems to be done by removing torx screws, I have not been able to find a replacement from dyson. A google search shows several sites that sell a replacement belt.

    Where is the reset switch on the Dyson DC41

    Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson.

    DC41 doesn't include a separate reset switch, as the reset mechanism is built into the on/off and brush control switches for convenience. If your brush bar isn't rotating, please follow the steps shown in the video below to reset the vacuum after removing any obstructions:


    Please note, the brush bar will never rotate when the vacuum is standing upright - make sure you recline the machine into the normal vacuuming position before testing it.

    If you'd like further help or advice after giving this a try, please give our experts a call on 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US) or 1800 239 766 (AU).

    The hose suction on my Dyson Animal (DC41) is fine, but will not disengage when you put the hose back and want to use the floor sweeper.

    Hi Stacy, it's Jack at Dyson.

    This issue you've described with your DC41 sounds unusual, as the changeover valve will divert suction to the cleaner head automatically when you recline the machine into the vacuuming position. If it's not doing this, it's possible you have a blockage somewhere in the cleaner head, internal hose or changeover valve.

    To check for this, please follow the steps shown in our online Support guide: http://www.dyson.com/support/dc41/dc41-irspu/diagnosis-root-menu/performance-flo-area-check-dc41/flo-brushbarvid-dc41/redirect-to-performance-flo-base-dc41-checking-the-internal-hose/performance-flo-base-dc41-checking-the-internal-hose

    My dyson DC41 animal upright vacuum clicks but doesn't stand up

    If you are indicating that it works, but will not stay in an upright position, then the problem is likely a plastic part has broken.
    Since the machine is nearly all plastic, it will break rather easily, and may not be repairable.
    You might try to look up the Dyson company on your computer and see if they have a phone number to talk to them, but if it is made in China, there may be no spare parts available.
    God bless your efforts.
