Dyson Won't Turn On - Replacing the Power Switch on a Dyson DC07 Vacuum | Morgan Madness 

Here's the switch that I ordered from Amazon: Replacement On/Off Switch To Fit Dyson DC07 & DC14: amzn.to/3vXuAPA (As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.)

Thanks for the video. Two years ago I renovated my over 15 year-old Dyson DC07 with a new clutch, belts, and roller brush, all for just around $90.00. Made it like new. It’s a beast. But suddenly a few nights ago it wouldn’t turn on. I quickly found your video, ordered the switch, received it the next day, popped it in, and bam, the vacuum started right up. Learning from your video that the cover is a problem allowed me to deal with it far more quickly. Thanks again.

Best Dyson video an this problem! Thanks so much!!!

incredibly helpful - thank you so much for this video - esp the removal of the switch cover - finally got it but what a bear!

I have the original dyson and I appreiate your video. Mine was working and now the switch won' work. I just followed your link order the switch, ordered it and will come back to your video to follow the tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to make it.

Who says you can't polish a turd? The Wife bought a DC07 for $25US and brought it home. It would run if the on/off switch was held, but it would stop as soon as the switch was released. Using this video (thanks) I removed the switch (swearing under my breath about the snap together, never service, buy a new one design philosophy.) I disassembled the switch which operates as a mechanically latched single pole single throw. The latch acts much like the thing on a retractable pen that lets you click the writing end in and out. When the actuating plunger is pressed, it closes the circuit by pressing a contacting bar down against two separated pads, one end of the bar is always touching one pad, the other end only makes contact with the other pad when the actuator is down (and latched.) What had happened was, at some time the switch overheated and softened the case enough that the contact pads sank farther into the plastic casing to a point where, when the connection bar was in the latched down position and released, it lifted to where it did not touch both pads. When pressed further, it would connect them and so act as a momentary pushbutton but would break connection in either the latched or unlatched position when released. By bending the contact bar slightly I took up the extra clearance and returned "normal" operation. I estimate the contact pad in the switch was about 1/4 of an appropriate area leading to the overheat and melted case failure. This is probably not accidentally bad design as it would cost only a penny or two to properly size the contacts. Intentional bad design philosophy is to sabotage your product so the consumer will have to buy another one shortly. Dyson sucks and not in a good way.

I use a bungee cord hooked over the top of the switch. I just roll the bungee on to the switch and it works until I roll it back off.

Hi John, thank you for making this video. I have two of the very same vacuum, Dyson DC07 All Floors. One has been sitting around for a several years because it seemed the electric cord was faulty, and I didn't want to through it out. Now the second one just stopped working. I have no choice but to finally fix them both asap. So, thank you for the link to the part. Maybe I'll order two of these Incase my first vacuum was not a cord issue but just a switch problem. Hopefully, that would fix them both.

There is two clips like you said at the back. Put a screwdriver. Into the gaps where there is the clips and tap the screwdriver And do the same on the other Side any problems with your Dyson just give me a comment on my newest video on my channel.

I'm currently stuck on the part you're talking about a few minutes in (Removing the cover). That thing just doesn't want to come out! >_

Get a stainless steel spudger pry blade. Separates a plastic catch like a boss. Buy two and you'll always be prepared for today's snap in garbage.
