When did the machine last have power?

Thermal cut out

Most Dyson vacuums have a built in safety system that stops the machine if it begins to overheat. This usually happens because the filters need washing or your machine is blocked.

Carry out the performance checks, and if your machine cuts out unplug and leave for at least 2 hours to cool down.

Please select the appropriate option

Wash the filter

Please follow the steps in the video.

Find the text version of the step-by-step guide instead, under "Has this resolved the problem?"

Check electrical supply

Is the power cord or plug damaged?

Are the other household appliances working?

Does the vacuum work when plugged into another socket?

Has checking the electrics resolved the problem?

Test the machine

Press the rear of the switch to make sure it stays in the on position.

Please note: The switch does not light up.

Cleaning the machine

A damp or musty smell is caused when dust in the cyclone has come into contact with water.

It may not be a direct contact with water, for example when vacuuming pet hair that is slightly damp, this moisture will combine with the dust in the cyclone causing the smell.

Additionally the smell may occur if the filter goes back into the machine wet.

Clean the bin and cyclone

Remove the bin from the machine by pressing the red Bin release button located on the handle of the bin and cyclone.

                   

Check the openings of the duct and bin for any blockages and remove as necessary.

                   

Open the bin lid by pressing the red button on top of the cyclone, be careful to do this somewhere to capture any dust securely.

                   

Push the grey button on the side of the cyclone to release the bin from the cyclone assembly.

                   

Use a dry cloth to clean around the cyclone to remove any finer dust or debris.

Check underneath the cyclone for any blockages and remove as necessary.

                   

Reassemble and test machine.
