Thanks so much, you saved me the cost of a new vac! I'm a 72yr old woman. Your step by step was hust like having you by my side. ❤

really busy dad here - after 1 beer and about 45 minutes my dyson v11 works again with a new metal trigger. what a GREAT VID, thanks a lot for it ❤️❤️❤️

After disassembling everything, I was so scared of putting it all back together but like every long road trip... the coming back was so much quicker!! I kept putting this off for so long because I was nervous and thought I couldn't fix it but now thanks to you and your incredibly clear step by step instructions... I did it!!! You are an angel for saving all of us here lots of money while building our confidence!! Thank you so so much!! God bless you and your awesome channel!! You got a subscriber for life!!

The world needs more helpful people like this guy. Cheers mate.

Thank you for being so patient to put this video together! Besides financial savings, it has shown my family the importance of experimentation and perseverance!

Thank you so much for this video. Dyson service centre wanted to charge me a motor replacement but I felt something wasn’t right about their diagnostic. I saw your video and it’s exactly what was wrong with my V10 Dyson. I can’t believe how they wanted to charge me a new motor just to make more money. I’m glad I saw your video. It saved me so much money. 👍👍👍😀😀😀

Awesome video! I actually called Dyson about this issue (Aug 2024) and even though my warranty expired in DEC 2020, I said it was a manufacture defect and that it’s a known issue. The representative sent me a new main body and cyclone free of charge. This was after I was told my warranty expired - it’s all about wording and saying it’s a known manufacturer defect. Hope this helps anyone else out there who has also spent a good amount on a quality vacuum, that has some parts that need better engineering. Overall, I’m still very happy with my Dyson, and I’ll be able to have two batteries now with new body that’s coming in.

This is hands down the best video I’ve ever seen on u tube. All information nothing else ,now I need to find that trigger clip. Thank you😊

My local appliance centre has just fobbed me off saying it was irreparable - thanks to your video I'm going to give it a go myself. The clear instructions you give here are probably the best I've seen on KZfaq regardless of topic! Thank you!

Great video! The instructions were spot on and gave me the confidence to do the trigger replacement. I would not have dreamed of dong this without the detailed instructions. I had extreme difficulty removing the Phillips case screws - especially the battery screw. I had to use a lot of strength to slowly unscrew them, sometimes a quarter turn or less while pressing hard to make sure the tip was seated in the screw. The Dyson screws are crap and are easily damaged. Fortunately, the kit I purchased included replacement Phillips and torx screws. I found removing the white connector easy by just using my finger nail to pry it up. It pops up and out and snaps back in easily. Thanks again for the detailed instructions. It saved me a lot of money in repairs.

You just saved me about £450 buying a new Dyson. Superb video. Thanks so much!

Excellent video. It was absolutely invaluable in getting through this rather arduous DIY repair/replacement procedure. So thanks very much! If you don't mind, I wanted to pass along a couple of observations that might be helpful to anyone planning to attempt this. First, the circuit board in my V11 was covered with a thin semi-transparent layer of what appeared to be silicon caulk. I had to scrape off the material in order to remove the torque screws as well as to disconnect the small wire connector. Second, the only part of this video that caused a little confusion for me was in disconnecting that small wire from the PCB. In watching the video, I thought it was the black wire that needed to be removed. It's actually the small thin red wire that is almost hidden by the black wire in the video. The black wire is soldered to the PCB. Fortunately I realized my mistake before doing any damage. Third, for me the hardest step by far in the entire replacement procedure was sliding the two terminals and the thin red wire back through the removable cover in the handle. The opening in that cover is very narrow and very tight and it took me nearly ten minutes and a fair amount of cursing to pull the three wires through. But once that was completed, the rest was all downhill. Thanks again for this very helpful video!

Your video was clear, concise and easy to follow! Had my Dyson repaired in no time. Thanks!

I put this off for so long, and your video finally made it feel doable! I just finished and am over the moon that my Dyson works again, and I didn’t have to pay a ton of money to have it fixed. Thank you!

I used your video to replace my broken trigger. By far your video was the easiest to follow. This is my first broken trigger to replace. Not hard, but did take a lot of patience. Thank you!

I used this video to repair my Dyson trigger. Followed exactly as the author described to include purchasing the new reinforced trigger & T8 screwdriver. Worked great! Thank you for posting this and the toughness of your instructions!

A 45 year old single lady says thank you because there’s no way I could have paid to get this fixed. I didn’t have thin nosed pliers, mine wouldn’t fit in the thingy to pull those thingy bobs through and that took ages, so will buy some for next time, but thank you great video. Mission accomplished 😃

This was so good!! I had the identical problem and you walked me through the repair. Even in the tricky parts your instructions got me through. Keep up the great work!

Thank you so much for your video. This was so thoughtfully executed, from the commentary and instructions to the positioning of the appliance when you were dismantling and then reassembling… I couldn’t have done this without you. You are the best. 🎉😊

Many thanks! Followed this and fixed my Dyson V10. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

This is a great video. It allowed me to fix my dyson pretty simply while my husband was busy with other jobs. Great clear instructions. Thanks so much

Thanks so much for creating this very detailed step-by-step tutorial. With your video as my guide I was able to successfully change my trigger, and changed my battery while I was at it. My Torx 8 screwdriver was not able to access the two screws holding the wire cover, but a crafty setup with a 1/4 socket wrench and Torx 8 bit I was able to get into the cylinder at a 90deg angle. For anyone attempting this, while dismantling I would highly recommend laying the screws out in circles on a piece of paper to group/label which ones are which, as they are similar but of varying lengths/thread.

Thank you so much for your well described dissasemembly and reassembly of the dyson v11. Took me about 15 minutes to do thanks to your video. Not sure I would have known all the things that needed to be taken apart to get it done. Appreciate your excellent video.

You my friend are absolutely brilliant. This is by far the most detailed instruction on ANYTHING on the internet :-) Thank you. Stay blessed!

Followed your directions to the letter and the results were perfect. Thank you very much!

Thanks so much for posting this!! I successfully changed the trigger. My local vacuum repair person said they don't do this and he didn't know anyone in town who would because it takes too long. Best part... this Wifey did the job solo while Hubby is out of town!! 💪👩‍🔧

Thank you, I was quoted $400 by our local vacuum centre. With this video it cost me $20 for the part and shipping plus 1.5 hours time (I didn’t have quite the right tools so had to do some workarounds to get some of the screws out). Great video, this is my first time trying to fix something myself.

Thanks so much! My wife was going to buy a new vacuum! You totally saved us!

Thank you for a straight forward and useful video. Easy to follow and straight to the point. 👍👍👍

Excellent video!! I just finished replacing my trigger after following this video step by step. My trigger was broken in the exact same place as yours. Got the part and the toolkit from Amazon, and, after a week, I'm vacumming again. Thank you so much. Your video it's been very helpful.

Thank you so much for your guidance! I followed you step by step and managed to successfully switch out the broken trigger. The vacuum is as good as new! And I feel so proud of myself :D

Thank you! My husband was able to repair our 3 year old vacuum, saving us $150 that Dyson wanted to charge us for another head. I opted for the heavy duty trigger. It works perfectly. Thank you again.

I am not very technically skilled. I repaired my dyson V10 in a couple of hours with the metal trigger replacement. Thank you so much! You saved me from buying a brand new vacuum!!!

I followed the links, bought the parts and tools, and then used it as a guide for the removal and replacement of my trigger for a Dyson V10. It all worked perfect!! Thanks!

This is by far the most useful video I have ever found on KZfaq. I easily found the new trigger and 6 Swiss francs later instead of 145 for what dyson were going to charge me for the repair and I fixed it myself! Many thanks

Awesome communication and step by step explanations! Thanks to you I was able to repair the trigger of my Dyson easily! Greetings from Italia!

You’re an absolute legend, followed along from start to finish and fixed it. Thank you so much for the video!! Great work💪🏻

Thank you for uploading this very detailed guide. was able to fix the trigger on my sv12. I picked up the metal reinforced one and it works like a charm!

Just repaired my V11 switch. Followed the step by step instructions and repeated a few steps when those damn terminals got stuck and the wire got caught up in the handle. Worked....great video. Thanks.

Brilliant. Thanks so much. Like many others I used this to replace the broken switch. Easy to do. Our Dyson sat around for a year if so broken as didn’t want to spend hundreds getting it fixed.

Great video Took me about an hour or so following your progress and pausing while I caught up. Thank you very much!

thank you so much for your effort!!! I would not be able to figure it out without your help. Mine broke in exactly the same way, and now it works again, as new.

Top man - followed it to the tee - now fixed 😊

Thank you for this wonderful step-by-step video. It helped me replace the trigger!

I was able to replace the trigger. I found this video extremely helpful. Thanks for sharing

Dyson said we needed a new battery, didn't believe them so attempted this first and sure enough the trigger was split. Excellent instruction, only cost me £5 for a new trigger and I was able to give it a good clean whilst dismantled. Thanks very much.

This worked really well, Helpful explanations, good photography too! I bought a metal replacement switch from amazon and it came with the trigger lock. The repair worked. Thanks!

Best instructions! I was able to fix using this method and installed the reinforced trigger.

Thank you, I installed a metal trigger replacement. The maker had their own video, but yours was better; more detailed and the verbal instructions were a big help. The one thing that neither video mentions is that you need to make sure the metal terminals (~9:00 into your video) do not touch each other when securely fastened. Otherwise, this was exactly the video I needed to make this fix.

Thank you for this video, it really helped! Those inner cables were a right pain, but with patience I changed and upgraded the trigger - works like new!

Thank you so much for this! You saved me a lot of money and time. Very easy to follow.

Thank you very much. I was able to fix my Dyson V11. Took a little more than an hour for me. Great step by step instructions.

Super tutorial thank you! Most time spent trying to bend the 2 connections without damaging the fragile cable which needs to travel with them! Worked a treat & I have ordered the power button clamp from Amazon 👌

Thought my Dyson was toast until I saw your video. Took it apart, cracked trigger. Ordered a metal replacement off Amazon and put it back together today, works well. Thank you.

Omg. I just fix my V11. Thank you so much sir for make this video so detail and easy to understand. I appreciate your help.

Your video and the way you demonstrated the whole process was very helpful. I repaired my dyson trigger with the help of you video Thank you. Your brilliant.

Thanks for the great video, followed every step and it now works again! Much better than buying an entirely new vacuum.

Great video--followed step by step and was able to successfully replace a faulty trigger! Thank you!

I am so glad you made this video! this it was a big help. Thank you!

Another busy dad here - what a great video. $500 vacuum fixed with a $15 part. Thanks so much!

Had a bit of trouble getting the wire connections screwed back on, but it was very satisfying to have a working vacuum again. This video was very helpful, much appreciated.

Thank you very much for this extra detailed diy. On my V10 the electronic board was covered with a glue all over for protection but I was able to get through it. ❤

I couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks so much for a first class how - to video

Yaayyy! Did it. Such satisfaction - saved money and the knowledge I fixed it myself. Great video. Thank you.

Followed your video. It helps to have the correct tools available including magnetic tipped screwdrivers. Replaced a cracked switch successfully. Vacuum working great. Thanks for the guidance.

holy crap i cant believe i was able to disassemble it and put it back together and still work!!! thank you for this video!

Excellent informative video! Couldn’t have done it without the information you have posted. Thanks Tech4Baba!

Amazing video, took me through it fast, works like a charm!! 🎉

Well explained, thank you ! I did it exactly like you and it worked.

Thank you, I fixed my Dyson v10 with your help, only cost 6 euro for a trigger and tools. You earned a subscriber!

Thankyou so much for posting this video..I've just replaced my trigger after following your video and it had fractured in the same place as yours. Got the part & 3 screwdriver set off Amazon next day delivery £6.99 so well chuffed..Thx again you've saved the vacuuming day..👍😁😀

Thanks for the video, was able to fix the broken trigger button, assemble, now working again

Thanks. I'm about to do this for my ex's V11 (I'm guessing it's a trigger issue). I've been fixing stuff since I was a kid 55 years ago (ok, I started taking stuff apart when I was a kid, slightly older before re-assembly :) ). Back then, almost everything came with an exploded parts diagram. Now, I check YT for stuff like this. (there are still diagrams and part numbers for many things online) Ya gotta love it when manufacturers use multiple fasteners/screw heads (Phillips and Torx in this case) GUH. Nice job. Clear, concise, etc.

Thanks watched others doing to the same thing but this was much more informative. Love the trigger extension!

Thanks for your video. I had issues with intermittent power on my V10, knew it wasn’t the battery, followed your video and replaced the broken trigger. I hope you don’t mind but I posted the video link on the Dyson community as so many customers face this issue and no doubt a percentage of these are the broken trigger.

Spot on!!! Used this guide to fix my V10, fantastic video, greatly appreciated!

Thanks for this video. Very detail and i managed to replaced the trigger

I couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks for a fantastic how-to video!

Thank you so much. It took me longer than for you . But I did it. I am Engineer. But I would not do it without your video. Thank you again .

Thank you for the insight! I fixed my Dyson in about the time you said! It works great now!👍🏽

Excellent video!! It gave me all the information that I needed to replace the trigger on my Dyson . THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU. Mike from Mass.

What a great video and easy to follow, thank you for sharing this.

Thankyou sooooooooo muuuuuch from Australia Great step by step video, saved me lots of cash. You are the best

I've done the repair according to this video and it worked. I had a big difference in my vacuum on the way though, the whole PCB with connected wires and battery cables was sealed with some glue-like substance. I had to cut it out with knife, which was risky, but worked.

Thanks, .Could not have done the job without you ! Have done these before but still found this video essential. An awful job and very dusty !!

I saw a few other videos on this, and yours was the only one that made me think I could actually do it successfully, and I was. Hit two problems - first I had everything taken apart except the very last screw, with the tools I had, but for that one super deep screw I had to run up to Lowe's to get a long Torx screwdriver. And second, getting those two tiny screws back on was very difficult - felt like I would have benefited from a second pair of hands, and also tiny fingers. Great video, thanks for putting this together.

It worked! Thanks to your extensive instruction video. Thank you very much! I am going to order the trigger holder in the future.

Thanks so much! I would recommend putting in the needed tools including torque extension at the beginning of the video. But honestly this video was so helpful thanks again

Great video, easy instructions and we now have a working Dyson. Thankyou !!!

Thanks for the great tutorial and instructions. Saved me a lot of money by repairing my V10 Animal. The one thing I had to double check was not switching the red and black wires to the terminals.

Absolutely fantastic tutorial. Thank you so much for your help.

Thank you for the instructions. Followed them and saved having to buy a new Dyson. 👍

Great instructions. Fixed my Dyson and bought the gadget. Thank you.

Very helpful video! Managed to fix my Dyson with your help :D Thank you so much! Struggled a bit at 07:45 so I ended up using a little tape to hold the two terminals and the little wire together to get them through. Worked for me!

Thanks for this tutorial. Enabled me to fix our broken vacuum with a $9 part rather than paying for a repair. Also made me feel like an aircraft engineer for a day. Really nicely explained, thank you.

Thank you very much for the fab video!!! My vaccume's working now again yay🎉

I fixed my V11 today thanks to this video, a big THANK you

I need to replace my trigger, finally I found your video to show how to disassemble, now when I got to the part where you need to disconnect the wires, I realized this whole part is covered with some kind of rubber sleeve that looks like it’s been hot glued but the job is perfect so hot glue wouldn’t have done this, I just never seen a sleeve like this before. Anyways, thanks for the breakdown, appreciated. I’ll get past the cover easily. ❤

I’m a 70 year old woman, and just saved us $150 CDN by watching this video and buying a metal trigger. this is a FANTASTIC video. I got the trigger clip too, which makes vacuuming easier for someone with arthritis in their hands.

Excellent video. One of the best I have seen. Thank you. Just did the procedure today, and it went without a hitch. The crack in the trigger was exactly the same as your demo. It would be nice to have replacement screws on hand, as the phillips heads are even worse than a slot screwdiver. Robertson or Torx are the best Thank you again.
