DC17 Valve Pipe Repair by Classic Vacuum 

OMG! I spent an hours screwing with this, tried Dyson tech support, and was really frustrated. Found your video and in 3 minutes I am done! If you were local, I would drop off a 6 pack. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this video! I spent over an hour trying to fix this and had given up and was about to pay $400 for a new one when my wife suggested I find a video on RU-vid.

You are the man! I spent ten minutes trying to puzzle this piece in, spent another five searching and finally found your vide. Done in a minute. This is the best of what RU-vid has to offer for fixing something. Whatever it is, someone has been there, done that, and taken the time to make a video of it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just received this vacuum as a gift from a friend. She got it from someone’s family that passed away and knew nothing about the vacuum. She didn’t even know if it would work. I couldn’t figure out why it didn’t have suction. Then I saw the part that you were working on in this video ( I don’t know what it’s called) was loose. I spent almost an hour fighting with it trying to put it back on. The problem is the person who put it back on before me who owned the vacuum put it back on backwards. That’s probably why they weren’t using the vacuum cleaner. I found your video and put it on properly and it was so easy. Again, thank you so much.

I just want to thank you for your simple and clear tutorial on how to reattach the valve pipe on my Dyson DV17! I tried and tried to do it with no luck...I was trying to attach the seal along with the valve pipe and retention ring and MAN of man that did NOT work. Finally...I found your video....(cue angelic lights and sound)...and it was easy as one, two. three! Yippee! Really do appreciate it! You are a great teacher! :-)

Great video! Before I turned to RU-vid I struggled with that valve pipe for an hour with my wife staring at me the whole time. After your video it took me like three minutes and done. Vacuum and marriage saved. Thanks!

I generally don't make comments, but I have to give five stars to this video and applaud very hard this time. I got stuck with this elbow thingy and struggled for an hour There would be no way for me to figure the proper way to put it back if it were not for this demo! Great job! Thank you so much!

OMG, you’re amazing! It was difficult for me to find a video to address my issue but then I stumbled upon yours! I struggled with piece and that inner plastic piece fitting and then getting the whole thing in place and you made it so simple which then made it simple for me! Thank you, thank you! You were very thorough and clear w/great photos.

You are great! My Dyson has been down for about 10 months because I could not figure out how to get that stupid part back on. Thank you so much! One of the best vacuums I've ever owned. Still has the suction it had from the dash I bought it.

Thank you for clear instructions for the assembly of this part! All other Dyson videos strangely skip over this.

Dude, you're a life saver. Couldn't figure out how to get the damn thing back on till I saw your video. What a pain in the a## it was. Thanks

Great video, thank you for posting! I tried for over 30 minutes trying to force that valve back into place, but luckily I found your video and had it back together in 1 minute! Appreciate you taking the the time to break it down!

Thanks a lot for posting this video. I had a DC17 that was sitting in my basement for 5+ years unused and I have to admit I had abused it and used it like a shop vac at time. Anyways, fast forward our other vac broke, decided to fix this one and ended up getting a new motor, brush bar, lower cover plate, and your video was extremely helpful in putting that valve pipe connector back into the machine. Thanks again!

Awesome! Saved the day! Spent hours trying to fix this came close to breaking it and he shows you how to fix it within 20 seconds.

THANK YOU..... Good Lord that thing was driving me nuts.... I watched your video and fixed it in 5 minutes.

WOW!!! this was an AMAZING!!! tutorial...simple and straight to the point...before I seen your video, i was getting frustrated trying to put that back on...thank you!!!!

I did all that as You-Tube show me . The problem is when i stand up right it look great. It when i turn it on and engage the roller the U Bend Assemble pull away so the dirt goes right back in the floor and I don't know why? I need help. Dyson people were very little help because it a older model. Should I replace the Vale Pipe Assy?

How do you take it off !!!!!!!!!!
