Thanks!

Thank you for a brilliant video...despite my husband's name as the user, it was me his wife. I'm 71 and managed to repair my Dyson V10 (with a few minor, self inflicted slip ups. This unit now costs £105 so well worth the effort it took me to do the job! Star

This is hands down one of the best instructional videos out there. This was exactly my problem. Broken trigger. Was able to fix it and it’s now running again. Thank you!!!

Thanks a lot for the detailed instruction, literally the cost is 10$ vs 150$, great to see such an amazing initiative that is better than a professional original service center

Just came across this, and your instructions are so very clear, and delivered with ease. The commentary is articulate, and just enough to encourage me to have a try for myself and hopefully save a great deal of money. Thank you

Thank you for such a fabulous ‘How to fix’ video. My V11 was 6 moths out of warranty so i purchased the trigger and all tools required which you fully explained in your video and at a cost of 29 euro and set to work. I now have a fully working machine again. Thank you so much you saved me hundreds of euros.

Great video and was just what I needed to finish the job. Loved the switch reinforcement idea with the wire pieces. Wife is happy again!

This was a great video. Such good detail at every step. I've just completed fixing my broken dyson v10 switch all thanks to you. Look forward to learning more from you in the future.

That was a fantastic video and helped me fix my trigger on my V10 (brought one off eBay for £8) in no time at all. I actually enjoyed it from start to finish. All the best!!

Great video, very easy to follow for a basic technical person like me. I particularly like the tips about reinforcing the trigger with wire. In the end I had to get a new trigger, I still reinforced it as per this video anyway as I don't want to have to replace it again for a long time. Thanks again Anton for your great advice, I saved heaps of money and importantly didn't have to turn our Dyson into landfill. 😃😃👍👍

This video was absolutely brilliant! I loved the wire stabilizer trick for the broken plastic power button. Saved me big bucks! Thanks so much.

Awesome step-by-step tutorial for how to fix the broken button. I never would have been able to do this without this video but thanks to you I fixed it for less than $30 in screwdrivers and tools.

Thank you so much for putting this awesome video together. Our Dyson suffered the same fate as yours and my wife was on my case. After watching your video I got inspired to make the same fix and it worked a treat. You're a top man! Thanks muchly. 👍🏽👍🏽

Man, I thought it was dead! You’re literally the best. Thank you for this detailed and straight to the point video!

Worked perfectly on our V10. Very well explained step by step guide for what seem to be a common issue. Cheers, saved me a lot of money.

Extremely helpful video! Thank you for the step-by-step instructions. I bought the trigger online and replaced altogether. Works perfectly.

Thanks for the video it was a life saver! I just got my vacuum 4 months ago and already had this issue. I love your accent by the way! Pleasant to watch and such a good instructor you are. Thank you so much again from us California!

Brilliant video, every step was well documented, thank you very much! Just one small issue, the inner screw holding the trigger group thing is sometimes stuck to it by design and will not come out. So if anyone has that, it's fine, long nose pliers yank it out. Just gotta make darn sure that the screw is actually already loose.

One of the best "how to" videos I've come across. Both thorough and enjoyable to watch. Nicely done and a great help.

Thank you Anton. Magnificent instructions. Amazed to find exactly the same failure mode (cracked red trigger button). Had a made a trip to the hardware store to get a long & thin shank to access the torx screw holding the trigger in place. Your a champion Anton!

From Canada, so many thanks. My switch worked intermittently, and I thought it had suffered the same fate as described in your video. As it turned out, somewhere along the line the Dyson got REALLY dropped, and there was a spiderweb of fissures, and the little plastic tab way inside the handle broke off. In other words, the one single screw holding the switch in the handle way up the handle was gripping thin air. I fixed it with a short piece of 5 mm dowel firmly wedging the switch into the handle. - Without your video, I would have never been able to take it apart. Special thanks!! Also, unheard of, you didn't skip over any steps, and even more unheard of, you showed the reassembly step by step, rather than saying: "reassemble in reverse order."

Brilliant video, clear and detailed. did it all step by step including the reinforcing of the plastic trigger with the wires. Thank you very much!!! saved a lot of money by doing it myself.

Hi Anton, really great video and you made it look simple - would not have tackled this job without your instructions. All fixed now and many thanks

Thanks for making this video, worked a treat. I used a cotton needle. Cut sharp end and eye off then cut it in half and gorilla glued it as you did. Only difference was that the plastic that the trigger retaining screws into had crumbled to bits so had to leave that screw out. Battery seems to still hold that section up anyhow

Thanks Great Video some you tubers skim over the detail which leads to problems for do it yourselfers. Anton goes into the sort of detail you need for one off jobs. Well done

Dismantle AND Assembly? YES PLEASE 😃 All instructions worked a treat, happy to give sth back. Keep it up, cheers from Austria

Very very helpful, I had the same issue with my v10 that was only 2 years and 2 weeks old. I watched the video and followed the tips nice and slowly, glued the broken switch back together with some epoxy and a slither of a credit card, it wasn't exactly the same spot where it snapped. Worked a treat, and I managed to get it back together with no spare screws! thanks very much.

Thank you Anton. Excellent instructions and easy to follow. I repaired the cracked trigger with wire like you did and it worked a treat. Many thanks!

This video is literally the best I've seen on KZfaq, and I'm not joking. It was alot easier than I thought it would ever be. Top man you are. 👍👍

This is the best “How to” I have seen and you saved $$$

I ordered the trigger from Amazon and got it taken apart and put back together and it worked!! Thank you so much for this step by step video!!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for this video. I went through your video and successfully fixed my Dyson V10 trigger, now it's working like a charm!

The switch on mine was broken the same exact way as yours, cracked on the arm. I got a "stronger" version of the switch on Amazon. Your video was incredibly helpful in disassembling my vacuum to replace the switch. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this very clear video. Managed to fix my dyson which had the same issue and the local repair shop has closed down. Very much appreciated.

Well I was so thankful to find your video teaching me how to disassemble, repair the cracked trigger, and then reassemble the unit. Our V10 was past warranty so you truly are a blessing. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. The hardest part was replacing the two short screws. I have big fingers. Here where we live in Canada we would say in Ojibwe, Chi Miigwetch Big thank you

I restored my dyson following this tutorial step by step my ethernal gratitude to this man

You are the best for creating this fix it video. I can't tha k you enough. I had the unit apart, was about to bin the unit and then watched your video. Back to good as new!

Thank you so much for this. You just saved me 500 bucks. The thieves at Dyson repair tried to tell me the motor was burnt out. One update for you and everybody. Since this appears to be a common problem, in the middle of fixing my trigger, I found on Amazon, a place that sells a new, stronger trigger for 12 dollars. A lot for a small piece of plastic, dirt cheap for a life saver.

Fantastic step by step instructions. Can't thank you enough. Saved me some $$$. This is totally a DIY job, get the right tools as shown and have a bit of patience. The only tip I have for the community is when you are pulling the button assembly out of the plastic casing at the end, you just need to pull it hard to the point where you think you are going to break it, but it won't. I backed off a couple of times but then gave it a good tug and sure enough it came out without any issues. Also, I had a hard time finding T8 torx screwdrivers at Lowes. Most of the sets started from T10 and above but I managed to find the one set in the whole store that had T8.

Thank you so much, your video was amazing - we had exactly the same issue - same crack in the trigger - my son got the blame for breaking it but obviously wear and tear! Working perfectly 💕💕

Many thanks for this, taking the time to learn how and then perfectly demonstrate it. Though my V10 trigger wasn't broken, it shared all the symptoms of a broken trigger. So i strengthend with metal (straightened staples) and the awesome Q Bond. Though still a bit sticky, it is working again. Thanks again

Thanks! Saved me a lot of time striping it down. One note, in the model I had here stateside the circuit board had been covered in a clear silicone which had to be cut very carefully to extract the sensor wire.

Followed your directions to gain access to the trigger on my Dyson v10. It was cracked almost exactly at the same place and angle as was yours. I also used gorilla's super glue to fix the crack and then wrapped it with a narrow strip of aluminum tape. The vacuum cleaner is up and running. Thanks a lot for such a thorough video tutorial.

That’s my Dyson ‘Hoover’ and BMWs ABS rings sorted in the same week, you’re a lifesaver mate!

Thanks a million man. Replaced the trigger on my dyson and it's humming away again. Legend.

Thanks very much. Followed your instructions and successfully replaced the trigger on my V10. Great video and explanation!

Epic instructions. Ordered part and grateful for your effort. Many thanks

Wow. It worked. I followed your steps to the letters. What a ride. Thank you so much.

Thank you for this video! I felt so pround of myself after doing it, and saved quite a lot on service! Thanks again.

I would not have done the repair without your instructions. Works again now, many thanks!

Many, many thnx! We were about to order a new battery when we bumped into your tutorial. Exactly the same issue! I (we) fixed the dyson! THANK YOU!

Thanks for taking the time to do this. Saved me a fortune and couldn’t have don’t it without this video.

Same issue and your video was perfect in fixing it... FYI .. Also just passed 2 years and few months (Dyson... change you triggers!!) but fixing it is was easy..thanks a million

Followed the video step by step. It was like I somehow had your vacuum - literally the same problem, the red trigger piece was cracked at the same spot. Fixed it like in the video. Thanks, you saved me $. It's amazing how in a product that costs hundreds, Dyson was too cheap to use metal instead of plastic at the weakest point.

Great video. Very easy. For those two tricky small screws where the screwdriver doesn’t fix I used a small ratchet with the bit in a socket. Worked well.

Just repaired my V10 thanks to you. Cheers. I owe you a cold beer for the money saved

Much appreciated followed you step by step, used bits of a paper clip to reinforce, worked a treat, saved money and I'm a hero! (sorry I took the creds)

Thanks Anton, worked a treat and couldn’t have done it without your know how!

Brilliant thanks! Mine broke in Spain, out of garranty and Dyson wanted 85€ to fix. Second break in 2 years. Reclaimed but they told me to buzz off or pay. With your video, my Dyson works again, perfectly explained. Thank you!!

This video was brilliant, thank you. My friend's trigger was broken in the exact same method and everything and she said she had another fail the same way previously so there maaaaay be a design issue here. I didn't have a good glue for this so I first tried using acetone to melt it together at the fracture-line but wasn't satisfied with the outcome so finally heated a staple with a blow-torch then let it melt its way through on both sides of the crack and then clipped the excess before re-assembling. Hope it holds, I'm cautiously optimistic. Thank you again.

Thanks a lot! Very helpful video. I had exact same problem and resolved it on my own only because I followed step by step the video.

Did it! I had given up on my own and decided to youtube. You were the perfect guide.

Thank you for this video. It was a huge help! Great step by step video to help fix my vacuum

Thank you so much Ant for the full step by step video to guide me through the complete process. I fixed the exact issue like yours. :)

Same failures on trigger and cyclone casing stopper. Thanks for the video it was very helpful in guiding through the repair. 👍

thanks! that was a great tutorial. one of the best DIY videos on youtube!

Thank you, the tear down was really helpfull, and you repaired the trigger! Thats really smart. I just finished the same procedure and as an additional safety measure I added baking powder/bikarbonate to the superglued reinforcing pins. That makes the repair even stronger.

I just finished repairing my V10 trigger. I kept repeating the vid. Thankyou so much!

Amazing video. Thanks for saving us £££ and our Dyson. Our V10 lasted over 4 years before trigger failed. We bought spare trigger button for under £10 from Amazon (came with all tools) so really saved us a lot of money. Many thanks👍👍👍

I switched the trigger today with my dad thanks to your video. Thank you!

Thank you for the detailed walkthrough! Gave me the confidence and knowledge to fix my V11. My wallet appreciates your hard work as well!😊

Thank you. An excellent video that meant the fix just i just completed was easy and certainly saved me money. My switch had failed with that very same crack after 3 years and 3 months so outside the 2 year UK warranty. A couple of observations: the torx screw size on mine seemed a better fit with the T8 driver rather than the T9 you refer to. I could get the T9 to work but it slipped out frequently. On the other hand the T8 slotted further into each screw and was perfect for me. On reassembly I found it easier to partially screw in the small screw that holds the trigger switch mechanism in place before inserting the switch (your video at 23 mins). This avoided having to try and find the hole to screw into as it was already in the correct place (within the trigger switch). Once again thanks

Great video! Easy to follow, and worked a treat. Thanks

Thank you for this video, it saved us £399. I really enjoyed following your instructions and we now have our out of warranty Dyson working again. Few brownie points earned too! I'll have a beer once i've hoovered up :). Thanks again.

Thanks for taking the time to make this...worked a treat for me!

Good job, man. Enjoyed watching this video and it really helped.

Thank you so much for their video! I was able to repair the trigger on my V10 following along.

Thanks for the video made it so much easier to fix, didn't repair the switch got a replacement upgraded switch of the well known auction site for under a tenner

Cheers for this. Worked a treat. Successfully installed a trigger I found online, with a stronger design than original. Much appreciated, good sir.

Many thanks, this tutorial was very useful. Thanks to you, I was able to repair my V10 Animal. It is evident that this is a defect wanted by the company, as they want to sell the entire engine block, and yet they have not done so. to reinforce the trigger. I fixed it with epoxy putty and small ABS plates. If in the future you should break, i will take one up and bay printed with the refill.Thank you again !!!Greetings from taly

Thanks a lot for your video. Had the same issue with the trigger and fixed it with you guide. 👍

Thank you so much for this awesome video. After watching your video, I got inspired to fix it by myself, and it worked. Thanks a lot.

Thank you so much. Really easy to follow. I had to get my husband to help, only in selecting the correct tools. Other than that I managed to complete the repair myself. I used a new switch off of Amazon. 😊

Thx Anton. Had no choice and came across your video. Under Shanghai lockdown and there’s no logistics or anything to get a new trigger. I used the cocktail sticks to strengthen instead. The two power wires took a little fiddling about but apart from that, great video. No doubt saved money on this too. Cheers

A well made video, very clear and helpful. I'm afraid my dyson has the same fate and I will try to fix it as per your instructions. Thanks!

Thank you for the video, I have dyson v11 animal (2, 5 years old) and it worked! It was easy and you to not need special equipment. I just had to buy torx t9, everything else what is needed are in every household. Thank you again!

Great video, thank you. I followed it step by step, almost buggered it up towards the end putting the wrong screws in one place but it all came out good in the end. I wish I had an air hose though as I'm covered in dust! :D

Excellent video and instructions. Fixed mine, I hope it will last. The trigger sells on Amazon for about $10 and it is reinforced (upgraded)from the original one. Thanks again.

Great work! Followed your lead and our repair worked like a charm!

Thank you for this video, the instructions are so clear that even someone totally non technical like me managed to take it apart and put it back together again. My trigger was completely broken but fixed it and reinforced with cut up safety pin wire. Trigger works perfectly now, but the whole thing only pulses despite cleaning so unfortunately its going in the bin anyway!

Thanks for this. Exact same fracture happened on my v11. Thankfully still under warranty. Having that much leverage continually stressing such a thin piece of plastic is a design flaw that they need to address. Won't be surprised if the new one fails in a year too.

This guide was most excellent. Thank you for making it. It really saved me! Was told by Dyson £79 for the replacement module. Part itself was £9 off Amazon. Like many comments here, it’s poor design by a “premium” company. They could have made this part much stronger but they didn’t. Then their repair approach is to replace the main unit. They should do better considering the initial cost of the unit.

u r the best! I fixed my v11 broken trigger as i watch your instruction. thx!!!!!

Nice video, i repaired my v10 following your video, so useful and saved me €€. Lot of thanks.

Brilliant video, saved me a fortune, only thing I did different was to fit a new trigger. Only £8.99 from Amazon. It’s a shame Dyson don’t recognise that this part is not up to scratch and requires something a bit more robust. The outer casing on mine is also cracking all over the place, more glue than plastic now😆Keep up the good work👍

Nice video and well done. I laser cut a pretty little piece that fits perfectly to join the plastic. Its really easy. I do about two a week here

A quick thanks to you for this video. It saved me a lot of money!!!

Thank you very much for the detailed video, I was able to fix mine as well and now is back in action!

Thank you very much for such a detailed and priceless guide. 🙏🏻

Thanks to you and this video you made, i was able to successfully repair my Dyson v10!
