Dyson DC07 | How to replace bin latch mechanism 

It worked! I now have a "new" vacuum! Hated to get rid of it just for a broken latch. Thank goodness for this video! However, I had to get my neighbor to help me get the old latch out. He couldn't do it either, so he final took some nose pliers and just broke the old latch. Now I don't have to throw away a $300 vacuum for a $5 part. Thank you SO much for posting this video!! Helps people like me!

Thank you for this! Mine has been broken for over a year, looked and looked for the part and couldn't stomach buying a whole used cyclone assembly for the exorbitant prices people wanted. A quick note: that part is not $20 on the eBay link(inflation🙄) but it is now available on Amazon for $10

Thank you. I got mine fixed because of your video. I spent the last 15 years using tape to hold the bin door closed.

You just got a new subscriber who collects vacuums and is into Lawn-Boys! Thanks for your channel!!

I live near Manchester and I to purchased this part from Manchester vacs at £1.99 inc postage , after having the same issue as you had , id already stripped the bin down and found the broken part , then researched the part and purchased it , and before re fitting the new part I wanted to make sure I was re fitting correctly so found your page here and video ,you made it so simple thanks it just clicked into place , such a great helpful video ,instruction

Good video. I just ordered this part from the UK as well and wondered what I would be up against. The estimate of delivery was four weeks.

Thanks very much for this video. I didn't have the same problem - I had to replace the top handle which contains the bottom flap release catch - but it was helpful to see it all stripped down. I found out that Dyson don't provide spares for the DC07 any more but I found a supplier (here in the UK) called PartsCentre (UK spelling ;-)) . Ray

What we cannot fathom out is how to get the bottom of the rod into position and get the top back on.

I have the opposite problem, my bottom door is stuck closed, I have removed the top, put back on... I can't get the canister to come off the inner cyclone unit no matter what I do... any advice?

Thanks, great help to me.

Thank you

I have a dc 07 origin. The canister bottom door is stuck shut.I can't budge it or get the dust canister off.Any advice please

I have DC 07 2003 or 2004. How do you clean the inside, the cycclone?

How do you repair the hose release catch on this model?

My problem is that the bin lid release pull loop on my wife's DC07 broke off (in two). I super-glued it back together once and it held for a while, but then it broke again. I just glued it again, but, I expect that it will probably break again. I am going to try a search the place you bought your parts from and see if I can find the part there. But, it doesn't look good. I have search everywhere for this part, and even the entire top piece. But, I haven't had any luck on previous searches.

Hello Sir....this is exactly what I was looking for. I tried using the link for the bin latch but they wont deliver to the state of Georgia here in the USA. How were you able to get your part?

I had that exact same problem! However I don't think I have a T15 whatever you called it. Is there something else I can use or do you need to take the top off at all to replace the part at the bottom? Won't the piece come out without taking the top off?

I have a DC 34 handheld my trash canister release button is stuck!! Help! Please

I was just going to say you missed a bit of dirt on the carpet.... but it’s actually dirt on my iPad! 😀 How is your vw getting along?

Do you have any clue as to what I can do to get the handle to lower on my dc07, it wont lower. Thanks.

I can't get the yellow cyclone part off of the main body. Pulling the release under the handle doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

I have a problem where mine will not open I don't know what's broke and it just won't open up for me how do I tear it apart

Ok cool but how do you open the bin lid mine doesn’t open?

My dust bin is stuck closed. Any thoughts on how to fix that?

Do you prefer the DC07 or the DC17?

Did you even need to remove the top hat? Could you just pop the old latch clip out and put the new one in?
