How to replace internal changeover hose. Dyson UP13, UP20, DC41, DC65 

First off, thanks for this video. I am a 68 yo Grandma with 3 dogs, a cat & 2 parrots so a lot of fur & feathers, oh a hubby also. I’ve always done my own repairs, I think that’s why the hubby married me. We have a DC 65 animal & last year I replaced the Hose Assy, then a few months ago the Duct Hatch Assy. Last week it was the Change Over Valve Hose Assy not realizing until it was apart that I also needed the Internal Hose Assy. By the way that part has went up on Amazon to $34. Also replaced both filters for the 1st time. I just finished and I think if anything else goes wrong I will sell it. Thanks again for your time.

Thank you very much for posting this video. The repair cost me the price of the parts and the tools to do the job, all of which were much less than a repair shop and certainly less than buying a new vacuum. It took me about 30 minutes to complete given your great instructions (and I watched the video twice).

Terrific video and thank you for taking the time to make and share it. I am a lifelong DIY repair junkie and have always been able to put damn near everything I’ve taken apart back together again and fixed it to boot. That being said I am so freaking happy to have found this video. One big thing though, and I can’t believe you never even mentioned it in your outstanding piece: That little tiny tiny screw that is probably the very first thing that ANYONE needing this video probably removes and should never, ever lose. That little teeny tiny screw that secures the top edge of the “click” tab at the upper end of the hose assembly. That little teeny screw that is about the mass of a bb and does NOT , by the way, come with the replacement hose. You should really address this screw itself, at least mention it, and stress its importance. Without it, the hose will easily detach.

Thanks for making this video. The same part failed on my UP13, and the hose ripped after 1 year of service. I ordered the part and was able to replace it in 30 minutes thanks to your great instruction!😃

Thank you for posting this DIY. Super helpful, got mine fixed and works like a champ 🎉. The tricky part with the lever/ gear did take some problem solving skills.

Thanks Daryl! This was super useful for seeing how it all gets put back together. I was replacing a different connecting hose. and i almost forgot where that white plastic gear went!

Great video! I was only confused at the part where you put the gear in, and that's because I didn't know the orientation from the camera shot. Thanks for this! Saved me tons of money (and took about an hour, too)

Thank you for the snap ring pliers tip I'm sure I will use that again and also thank you for completing the video by doing the reassembly

Needed to replace just the yoke. Had trouble with that white gear stop, and your explanation was awesome. Thank you. 😊

Got my UP13 secondhand years ago and just today realized that mine doesn't have the internal hose. I feel pretty silly for not noticing for so long, but this video gave me the confidence to try and repair it myself. Thank you!

Thanks for the video. Was able to do the same repair with little confusion. One recommendation to anyone looking to do this, get torx drivers vs bits.

Thank you for sharing this repair! Mine broke on the tab also. I really didn't want to buy a new vacuum.

Thank you Sir. Had I not seen this video, I never would have attempted taking the ball apart. Both internal hoses were ripped on mine, and the red clip broke off years ago. I had the old one hanging on to the intersection with a screw. I'm in for $60 with the parts and the snap ring pliers and a couple of torque drivers. My sister told me to throw it away and get a new one. All fixed for $60, as good as new.

Thank you for the video. I followed it very carefully and was able to repair my vacuum without any issues. Thanks again

Great video! Couldn't have done it without you!

Thank you very much for making this video. The part is up to $26 on Amazon, but way cheaper than having it repaired. I also replaced the change-over valve (hose) which was super easy since I had it disassembled for this repair already. It was about $22. An added benefit: since both hoses had small tears, it make a dreadful screeching sound that went away after the repair. Thank you again! I wouldn't have tackled this one without your video! (Mine is a DC41 Animal Complete)

Used this guide to fix our DC41! Took a while to take apart and put back together but it’s working!

The gear was the hardest part. Thank you!

Thanks for the video. I was able to fix a family member’s vacuum just by replacing the hose part.

Thanks for putting these repair videos up. Very helpful when I replaced the changeover hose and internal hose on my D65.

The little red clip just broke on mine. Dyson's website no longer sells this part. Thankfully I accidently found this video and you linked that part I needed. Thank you.

Thank you it was a quick and easy part change, without you showing the break down it would have taken a lot longer to accomplish

Thank you! I was able to repair a $10 vacuum and it works great now!!

Please keep making these great videos

Thanks for your video so helpful and a bit easier to follow than other videos I tried watching.

THANK YOU! Especially for making the tools you need, so clear, at the beginning.

Thanks for this. It really helped. The gear reassembly is the most difficult bit but I got there in the end.

Thank you . Got it done easily

Worked for me! Minus a few screws leftover at the end. Expected that, LOL The locking mechanism was a bit frigidity though.

Man this was a great tutorial, thanks!

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.

You're awesome sir! Thank you for taking the time .

Hey Daryl. Many thanks for making the video. I bought the part for

Great video, thanks!

Holy cow, that’s a lot of steps and parts. Really good video. But I tell you what, when my Dyson breaks down, I ll come knocking on your door for repairs. Just kidding - I have a Hoover.

Thank you very much! Super helpful!

This video was great help. Thank you.

Excellent instruction!!! Thank you!!

Great video! I'm getting ready to replace my internal hose. The snap ring pliers look super useful. Do you have a link to the pair of pliers you own?

Thank you! You made it easy!

Just a heads up you added like 7-10 more steps than needed.

How did you rotate the vacuum?

What's the other internal hose called? The one that switches between the brush head and the hose?

I was good until that little white gear too haha thanks for the help

I have the D65 and the little red tab on this part broke off as soon as I released the screw holding it in place. Is there any way to just purchase that red piece containing the tab?

Just buy a decent brand to start with. Anything but Dyson.
