To maintain your Dyson machine we recommend that you wash your filter(s) at least once every 3-6 months. Please see the video library below for a tutorial.

Most Dyson vacuums have a built in safety system that stops the machine if it begins to overheat. This usually happens because the machine or tools are blocked. If your machine cuts out, unplug it and leave it for at least an hour to cool down. Remember to turn the power off and unplug the machine before you check for blockages prior to re-starting the machine.

Please ensure that if you have a booster button, this is not constantly selected as your battery life will be significantly impacted. The booster button should only be used in short stints.

Please ensure you have pressed the power trigger prior to selecting the booster button. You will hear a notable change in sound to confirm your selection.

If your vacuum is experiencing a loss of suction, please try the following:

• Check for any debris or blockages in the tubing and main body.
• Ensure the filter has been cleaned and left to dry as per the maintenance and care instructions.
• Check to see if the issue is happening on all attachments. If it is happening with a particular attachment then check there is no damage to this attachment and it is fitted correctly.

If you are still experiencing issues, please get in touch with the support team using the contact details on this page.

If the vacuum isn’t charging, please try the following:

• Try an alternative plug socket.
• Ensure there is no debris stuck in the charging port or at the end of the charging cable.
• Gently wipe the end of the charging cable with a clean, dry cloth.

Check that the dust container is fully clipped into place. Follow any symbols on the dust container and twist/clip on securely.

It is normal for the vacuum to make noise during operation. If the vacuum is making unusual or excessive noises, check the following:

• Check the filter is secure in the dust container as it may be rattling.
• Clean the filter thoroughly to remove any dirt and debris.
• Securely fasten the dust container to prevent parts from moving.
• Check the floor head for any dirt or damage which may be causing the sound.

If the brush roll isn't spinning, check the following:

1. Turn off and unplug the vacuum.
2. Remove any hair or debris that is tangled around the brush roll.
3. Check that the belt on the brush roll is securely attached.

Please note, this only applies to models that have a spinning brush roll.
