What's that..... How to repair a Dyson by getting a new used one????? That's not a repair at all, it's a replacement

4 minutes of my life that i'll never get back

I wish Dyson Vaccums weren't so problematic and tempormental. It's insane how high maintenacne they are.

So you just essentially replaced THE MAIN part of the vacuum. Whats left to throw away? A bunch of plastic parts? My vacuum stopped charging once, I ordered a new main unit under the warranty and now after a single use the battery is drained and it is not charging again. This entire thing might go back to Costco. Dyson is really really really an overpriced piece of dunk at this moment. I used to have multiple dyson vacuums and they worked fine for many years but now they lowered their standards to the floor and are not worth it at all. Lots of other nice vacuums these days, try them out

I liked my V6 so much that I put it in my shop to use. I still use it after 6 years. Decided to get the v11 in Costco. After a year the similar problem happened to me like other folks. You press the trigger but you get a blue light. Sometimes it sucks and sometimes it stops for no reason. No pulsing. Called dyson and they sent me the main body.

I thought you meant the vacuum was a friend of yours. 😆

A lot of problems can be solved by regularly cleaning the Dyson body with compressed air! You will be amazed by how much dirt will be blown out all of the crevices. I have used the stronger machines that you can use to inflate a car tire but these are really making a lot of noise, so, after a few months I bought a handheld compressed air unit with battery, that is charged via USB adapter. Works like a charm and is extremely handy. Remove the filter from the body also, and blow the compressed air on that end to clean it. I also blow air through my filter, thus cleaning this very regularly. We have the V11 (SV14) Animal for 3.5 years, and still works perfectly - but you must do this maintenance on it! As we have dogs in the house, where we do daily long walks with, you'll understand that a lot of dirt is coming in the house. A last thing, do this blowing of compressed air outside the house, as a lot of dust will come out of it.

I have a V15 but I need to change the body, what body do you recomande?

Thank you for your help. Now, I know why it didn't work. Thanks for the link to buy a new body too.

I have a V11 and noticed that the voltage adaptor had come partially out of the wall socket and there were no led's showing anywhere, even when I plugged it back in. So I removed the three small Phillips head screws, removed the battery, pressed the reset button a couple of times and then replaced the battery. When I put the vacuum back on the charging cradle the charging screen lit up and showed that it was charging.

Wash filter, shake dry. Leave to air dry for 24 hours. If you can't wait 24 hours, hold dyson facing up so air filter is facing the ground, screw on air filter, turn on vacuum for 5-10 minutes. The large volume of air blowing through will dry it faster. Main thing is you don't put it back on holder till it's absolutely dry cause water will travel down. Of course it doesn't hurt to play it safe and just buy a second air filter, when it's time to wash, wash and use your spare. By the time it's time to wash again, you're spare is good to go!

I would be extremely unhappy if my vacuum stopped working after just three years! And replacing the body seems a very expensive option. I have only had one Dyson vacuum, v6, and it stopped working after 2 years needing a new battery. The astronomical cost of new Dysons is ridiculous when they only last three years

Very helpful tips. Thank You!

I wonder which is most Powerful, ergonomic, lightwt Cordless Vac 🤔

I bought my Dyson because other family members had such a good experience with their Dyson vacuums. Unfortunately, my Dyson vacuum works occasionally. I clean the filter, which takes at least two or three days to dry and I empty the cylinder after every use. It doesn’t have very good suction. I had to go and buy another vacuum. If anyone is thinking about buying one of these vacuums read all of the reviews. The price is a deterrent for most people and really they are not worth it. Sorry that this post is so negative, but I was looking up how to troubleshoot and saw this video. Go buy a bissell, they are heavy but at least they work and are not as frustrating as a dyson!

I got excited I was going to repair it, I’ve got crap everywhere and have still got to buy a new one 😂

I didn't let the filter dry long enough before putting it back on so now it won't turn on and the blue lights are flashing on battery. Does that mean I need to replace body and battery? Thank you

EBay has all the parts you would need for repairing without needing to buy the complete body. Really not hard to disassemble that vacuum completely with a couple of tools and KZfaq tutorials. Basic Torx 8 and number 10 as well as a Philips screwdriver.

How about this. Battery is fully charged. Screen functions work however pressing the trigger down does nothing. No motor operations, from either the powerbrush or main motor with no blockage anywhere. No flashing LED on my absolute pro v11.

OMG thank you you saved me from throwing away my vacuum

I have an V15 since 6 Month and ist works very well without Problems👍👍🥳🥳

so buy another one? lol thats what i’d expect a salesman to say so thanks buddy you were a true help 👍🏼

Can they make this thing any more fragile?

Wow that was a quite different and very useful video. Thanks 👍🏼

I’m weary in purchasing a body, although I am positive that is is what I need. I reinstalled the filter without allowing it to completely dry. It does beat having to buy everything again though.

I can't find any videos for the V12/SV12. Mine appears to work until I actually attach an accessory and start trying to vacuume something on high speed. works like you show until I attempt to suck something, works on low and medium. just not high

thank you for sharing! Your voice is so soothing.

My V11 Hepa filter was probably still moist when I put it back and it fried the motor. Bye bye 600euros. It is instructed to wash the hepa filltert, wait atleast 24hrs, before putting it back or it could damege the motor. Seem to be the case because this happened to me. So it there a way to fix the motor. I try to let it dry properly first as it is and then opened up, lets see how it goes. That second dry hepa filter is indeed a good idea, if you are in a less than 24hrs 'hurry'. It's 3 yrs old so it might be the 'old' battery lets see, so much 'fun' to trouble shoot this.

My V11 Outside battery release button is stuck so I can’t remove the battery from the vacuum, any ideas

My sons gave me his Dyson because he said he don't want to mess with it he said it's garbage. Even after I paid over $700.00 for it. First hus brush would not turn. Now the battery a problem. I have it at my house and it has been changing for over a week and there are not any lights of any color flashing. What could be wrong? Thank you. Kathleen

What will you do with the other body?

For me the lcd is ob but the motor isnt starting if i pull the triger

We have a V11 that is 3 years old and doesn’t turn on. It came with an SV15 battery which is different from the other batteries used on the V11. Its attached differently to the main body from the others and the circuit board inside is sealed, one cannot open the sealed area to detach the two wires on 2 posts which lead to the battery on one side and the motor on the other. So It’s impossible for me to replace the trigger ( if it is the trigger that is the problem and I don’t think it is). I am at a dead end I will have to throw it out and know I will not waste my money on another one!

How do you know my v15 is charged on the stand. My eye sight isnt so great

It’s amazing for such an expensive vacuum, it would be so hard to maintain it after cleaning. Now I came to understand, Dyson is just an expensive garbage. Our vacuum stop working right after cleaning the back filter. After drying the filter and reinstalling it after two days of drying it per manufacturer’s recommendation. Still not working.

How would one know for sure that the body needs replacing??

Thank you for such a helpful video

No link for the body part?

The moment he unveils the secret way to fix: pulls a new one out of thin air 🤦‍♂️😂😂😂

My vacuum isn't working... the screen is on but the blue lights are not on 😔

My dyson V15 doesn't work well these days. It is cleaned, the battery charged, the screen shows something, but it does not run and has no sound, the battery light is not blinking either, only if I remove the battery and plug it in again, it works as strong as usual. Do you guys have any idea? To change the battery? Thanks in advance!

I wish I had known all the issues about the Dyson,before I bought one worst $300 I’ve ever spent😊

I have an issue that my V15 when I pick it up after a while to vacume shows on display last vacuming data and until i reinsert the battery it wount start. What could be wrong?

I made same mistake, washed filter and after two days I put back ( still wet ). From then Vacuum did not work at all ( I did not know filter mast be perfectly dray ). I decided to put head of the vacuum on the floor ( I have floor heating ) and filter separately, after ten days laying on the worm floor ...I put filter back and vacuum started to work.

So: For the price you pay for this peace of garbage,after a few years just through it away! Just reinforces my opinion that I experienced when I worked at the hardware store, Dysons were always breakind down. We had to stop selling them. I told my kids not to buy one for my wife. But they did. Now she constantly buggs me about the filter light coming on even after she cleans the filter. My over 20 years up right still works like a charm!

I did the same thing to my V11.... no you don't need the main body at all. What you do need is a #1 Phillips screwdriver and a T8 torx driver. Remove the filter and let dry complex, remove the back of the main body from the front of the main body. Use the T8 torx driver to remove the 2 torx screws holding the motor in and let it sit out for a day or 2 in the highest and warmest place in your house (usually top floor of your house or attic). This is generally going to be much easier and faster in the summer if you don't use AC throughout your entire house I.E. central air or in the winter when you run the heat. If you do have central air find the room with the return air vent location (the one with the vent filter) and leave it in that room instead since it will act as a dehumidifier. Unless you put the filter in extremely soaked it's a minimal amount of moisture you got into the wrong places to ever get moisture inside if you stopped quickly. Also stuff a dry sponge down the inner tube between the motor and the screen that runs inside the filter. Should help the wicking process (one without the green/blue scruff pad preferably and not a damn magic erase sponge 🤣

How to fix your broken car? Take it to the junkyard, take out all your personal belongings, buy a second hand car, put your belongings in and you are done. This guy

I live in New York and the power button isn’t working

Is that the star wars giy?

My V11 turns on for about 10 seconds and then turns off.. I’ve cleaned the filters and waited 2 days for complete dry.. Too much money for a vacuum to last only 3 years..

High motor failures for Dyson v11 prompted Dyson to discontinue this product. Also the failed motor/body is no longer available for purchase.

Throw it away!? It costs a fortune.. luckily i still have warranty running, but i didn’t expect any issues with suck advertised machine so soon for sure.. and i didn’t insert wet filter or anything..

You did fix you replace the body

👍

So anything in the house or in the garage something is not working just throw in the trash and buy new one and you fix the problem is it every body in England dam as this guy.

You are essentially still throwing the vacuum away all you really did was move over the filter, bin and battery the actual working part is being tossed depending on your budget and pricing it may be best just to purchase new with a warranty

Ah here! How is that repair? Anyone can go out and buy a new part.

Mine just quit and it doesn't even have any lights.

I do not see that as a fix. You have just essentially replaced the whole machine. The main motor and trigger etc is in that part! What a waste of materials for that to go into landfill.

😅 let's see if it works

Is it a joke??

Yes waste of my time..hoping to find meaning of symbols..what does 2 white little circles designate?

"How to fix"!! Buying a replacement is not fixing it.

😂 so you buy new main motor body, replace !! Not repair

אפשר תרגום בעברית

The most disgusting prod from Dyson with no quality control

Is this joke?? Repair???!!

not a repair not even close

Is this a joke ?

Um why the hell did i watch this video if ur just replacing the part Wtf

🙈🙈😅

Que coño dice el tío este

So basically buy a new one

You didn’t fix it you literally bought another one 😂🤦🏽‍♂️

A new body, sir that's a new vacuum and not very clever.

You actually published this video?!? How embarrassing.

My V15 completely died after two uses. Absolute garbage

😂😂😂😂😂 that's a fix is it? wtf!

alot of talking to get to the point

😂😂😂😂 but you didn’t fix it, you replaced it with new after saying your didn’t want to throw it away, which is exactly what you did! Waste of air time!

Solution: buy a new one... wow!

what a waste of my valuable time.

Garbage

The worst vacuum ever . Don’t waste your money on it

Absolute waste of my time😡

I’m sure you didn’t fix anything you just got an new one and put the bin and battery on it. I just wasted minutes of my life watching this crap.

I literally thought this was a real repair video and not buying a new unit and putting old parts on it to make a Frankenstein Dyson. Super disappointing video bro, might consider giving this a different title.

You stole 4 minutes of my life.

What a waste of time..... this is not a fix!

Dyson is crap and overpriced. Bad experience!
