How to fix and test a dyson DC30 

Thank you Bob great video !!

Thank you sir, this problem was driving me crazy, thought it was the trigger / switch failing at first.

Thanks Bob, you've solved my problem - I discovered that I hadn't replaced my filter properly so the little switch wasn't pressed. I owe you a pint!

Good systematic fault finding by elimination

Nice video! Thanks. I am trying to remove my battery of DC 30. You just pulled the battery off. Mine has at least 1 screw of which is stuck. I tried the elastic band method to get the screw out but it won't budge. any suggestions

Your Video helped me to make my Dad happy :-) Thank you.

Thanks, helpful and logical advice!!!

The little cyclone tubes get easily clogged also. Buy yourself some 2cm pipe cleaners and just fish them into each of the 6 tubes, no disassembly necessary. Personally I never wash filters with water. Filters are often made from blown polypropylene which is easily damaged and clogged up by water or alcohol. Just tap them out or use another vacuum to reverse vacuum them. That's usually enough to restore them to service.

Mine is very loud. Removed everything like you did. Just motor left. Still very loud with a little smell also.

The flashing light also means there is less than one minute of charge remaining as per the Dyson instructions. If it's flashing rapidly it means it's either too hot or too cold and not to use.

Good, simple explanation.

How much often this filter need to be replaced

Thank you, your video helped a lot

My DC35 Multifloor did the same thing bought a brand new battery from amazon for $20 or so

Nicely done , thank you

did that exactly 2 years ago, bopught new battery from ebay againg.....not worked this time...

Hmm, there is no switch on my DC30, and it works without pressing it. However it works only for seconds, so do you have any idea how to help?

I suspect you're talking northern hemisphere, Bob. No little filter switch in the southern half, unfortunately. Mystery moves to the next episode. A just-too-clever design, imo.

Thanks, helped.

Paying the amount you do for a Dyson, I would not expect to have to spend time testing it and then having to buy new parts or a battery. Best thing, buy something less expensive that you can then just but another one if it brakes, at a much lower cost. I'll never have a cordless Dyson! Rubbish 😊

Thank you so much!!!

Hang on man too fast. I viewed this to find out how to remove the battery !! What did you do?
