Trace the wires back to the area of the power switch and see if you are getting power there. If so, check the continuity between the supply and the connection for the power head.

SOURCE: power head

If you have checked the power delivery down to the powerhead and you have current running to the powerhead, then you likely have a burned fuse. There is a fuse built into the powerhead motor and is usually located on the field winding. This is not easy for a novice to replace and even most professional repair shops will replace the motor. It is possible to replace the fuse if you know what you're doing, but if the fuse blew, there may be a more serious problem, after all, the fuse is there if the motor starts to experience distress and the fuse will blow to avoid any electrical issues. The fuse can blow if something is jammed into the roller and causes the motor to labor heavily. If this is the case, then the fuse can be replaced safely. If the motor is burning out, then a new fuse will just blow immediately after replacement. What I do is take the fuse out and run the motor without it to see if the motor is still viable and replace the fuse if the motor proves to be o.k.

      SOURCE: My Power head on my Dyson Animal DC39 will not stay spinning. Suction Issue?

      There should be a red insert on the right-hand side on the cylindrical bulge behind the brush cylinder. Check that this is moving when you push the button. The red insert should stay pushed in for the brush to rotate. The insert moves in an out as well as rotates in order to lock in the 'in' position. Mine is a little sticky on the rotation and I need to shake the brush head a little in order to get it to rotate and lock.

      Dyson dc21 motorhead stopped working

      Remove the motor head from the extension pipe and look carefully at the mounting hole the pipe plugs into. Next to the main hole there should be 2 pin connectors, either above it or below it. This is the power supply connector for the head unit. GENTLY use your finger to try and move these pins, they should not move. Sometimes these pins can break and stop the motor working. Sadly they cannot be repaired so you might have to replace the whole motorhead.

      Have a Dyson v6 for several months. Roller brush stops turning a soon as I start to push forward after staring trigger. Examined & cleaned roller & surrounding head & find no objects interfering.

      The Dyson V6 has an electric motor in the power head. The battery is in the handle unit. So power has to get from the battery head unit down to the motor at the floor roller brush. The way they do this is to send the power around the plastic debris cup that you empty, and then into the connector for the tube and out the bottom of the tube to the roller brush motor. Your problem is probably that there is a lost contact along the way. Try plugging the roller brush directly into the head unit leaving the tube out and see if it is intermittent or if it runs fine. In that case the problem is one of the contacts associated with the down tube. If the roller brush is intermittent even when plugged directly into the head unit, then the problem may be the connection associated with the debris cup. remove the cup and make sure the contacts are clean. Hope this helps. G

      WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CANISTER VACCUM CLEANER?

      Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson.

      Ordinarily you'll be able to reset your vacuum's Motorhead by removing any debris or obstructions from the brush bar and endcaps, then pressing the red brush bar on/off switch on the Motorhead:


      However if you've already tried this without success, I would encourage you to contact our experts directly so we can talk you through some simple diagnostic checks when you have your machine easily to hand.

      You can reach the Dyson Customer Helpline by calling 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), 1-877-397-6622 (CA) or 1800 239 766 (AU).

      We'll look forward to speaking with you.

      Turbo head on DC39 animal will not spin. I have removed any hair etc caught around the brush but still no spinning..

      I have the same problem with my DC39 Animal's brush bar. Im on my 3rd one in 9 months of ownership. The DC39 brush bar is driven pneumatically (there is no electric motor in the brush head) and switched on and off via a suction activated pneumatic ratchet within the brush head. The moving components are actuated by bellows. Ive found that the glue holding the bellows fails stopping the ratchet working intermittently at first and then completely as the bellows comes away completely. At first you can help the ratchet by tapping the brush head - the red ratchet ring can be seen to click round. This, in my opinion, is an inherent weakness of the DC39 design and cannot be easily repaired. The only solution is a new brush head. Luckily Ive got a 5 year warranty and at the current rate I will have got through about 20 brush heads !

      Power head not working

      There is a gray button next to the red "power on" button that powers the brush unit. If the unit has tripped the reset for some reason it must be reset. This can be done by holding the gray button down for ten seconds while the unit is not running. When you power it up after this reset, the brush unit should run.
