Thank you Sir. I was able to perform this fix tonight on our DC40. Changeover hose, 2 new filters and a good cleaning! The vacuum is currently working like it’s new again. You directions were great. I owe you a beverage.

Thanks! The local repair guy said he couldn’t get the part anymore and he tried to sell me a new one. It took a while with all my obligatory backtracking, but its working great!

Thank you for the quick no nonsense guide. Saved me an hour of figuring it out myself.

Thank you so much! This was exactly what I was looking for. My vacuum is working perfectly now.

Thank you so much! I was able to fix my mother's DC40 so now I have one less thing for her to complain about!!

Mate! Just saved me from buying a new hoover. Absolute star, thank you sir

Wish you were close by but I'll try using your video. Those Torx8 & 15 are proving a bit difficult to come by.... Thank you for taking time to make and post this helpful work.

Excellent. Very fast changed service parts my self. Thank you so much

By the way, your video was the best I found and helped me get the piece out. Thanks again! Peggy

Thank you!!! This helped me switch the part out

Thank you for the video. We replaced the hose and our vacuum is fixed. Thanks for sharing the how to.

Thank you.

Thanks. Great help

Brilliant! Thanks for this, I have a working vac again

Thanks, you've made this look like something I could try, even if I have to buy more tools. What size screwdriver do I need for the small torx screws?

Thanks a bunch this helped fix my issue

Well done thank you!

Can they make it any more complicated to change the hose that easily breaks?

Awesome video 👍

Great job, 15 minutes and I’m up and running. Thank you!😅

Nice.. but, You should slowly, gently back-screw with slight pressure by hand ... searching for the original threads in the "plastic" supports... when your screw reaches the original thread, it will suddenly drop... at that moment you can screw it in, without starting a new, weaker set of threads in the plastic. especially when re-mounting the filter support assembly with those 4 screws you ran in with the motor driver... :-) (But then, it probably has a torque-limit adjustment)

You saved my stupid behind - a cracked hose and a piece of 12 gauge wire were almost going to cost me a new Dyson. Thanks!!

Hey, thank you so much for this video. I was gonna throw the vacuum away and because your video able to get it back up and running thank you.

I called the Dyson service phone number today and was told that this part is not available for purchase by an owner of a Dyson vacuum. It can only be repaired at a Dyson Service Center.

Hey, Very informative. Okay, I have the shredded change over valve hose out. I don’t have a manual. I’m not sure which replacement part is correct for my DC40 13 year old upright vacuum with purple cyclone. I see so many that look like mine, but when I read reviews sometimes they don’t fit. I’m not sure which one I should get. How do I determine correct size for mine? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Peggy

Thank you so much for this video- we have a multi floor2- will this repair also work for this vacuum? I have tried finding the replacement part but I am unable to find it. Could you please assist me with this

Thank you. Got it fixed. Those small screws are easy to strip... A bit more of a warning maybe?

Thank you very much,great video

Watch the plastic tab the spring attaches to. Mine broke off - not sure if it is fixable now?

Helpful video👍

Thanks that saved a lot of frustration.

Very helpful. Camera placement could be better in parts.

Thanks a tonne sir

Thanks!

Life saver.. ty 🙏

At 2:00, you removed a retainer, but didn't show it to the camera before setting it aside. It appeared to be about twice the size of my retainer, which I think is broken. I bought a parts kit for the changeover, but the retainer is not included. What to do next? Look for more parts.

I can't seem to get the black retainer clip to tighten without popping off. What am I doing wrong?

Hi. What size tools are required for the job and what tools do you recommend on Amazon UK? Thanks

Thanks so much. Do you have the part number for that hose?

hi can anyone send me a link to this part of the valium please as all im getting is the other hose bit ,a bit further down,i need this part thats being shown on video thanks.

This video, while not perfect, was definitely good enough to save me a significant amount of time figuring how to take this thing apart. You have my sincere gratitude.

Thanks. Solid steps, but half the time the action is off camera

I gave you a thumbs up, but you could do a better job of aiming your camera. Thanks for the help.

Really unfortunate your camera was out of view to how to fix it!

It’d be nice if 80% of the screen wasn’t the carpet, but oh well

Please put in frame

Might be helpful if you kept your work in the viewing area. 5:51

Terrible video. Mostly the part he was working on wasn't in the picture...

Thanks!

Thank you.
