We have a V6 since they came out and I never knew you could remove the sock of the filter. Our V6 was having the pulsating problem and this time I couldn't find where the blockage was until I saw this video, now it is working again and the best, it has recovered A LOT of suction power, I never realized it had slowly lost power. Thanks a lot.
That’s awesome, definitely makes a huge difference and we appreciate you sharing this. A vacuum performing as if it was brand new is always a good thing.
Great to hear your vacuum suction has enhanced since the cleaning. Awesome job making it a DIY project.
🧰
You are a life saver!. Been ready to sling the thing out but after watching your video and learning there’s clips that you can release on the filter. I discovered a load of hard twigs, and impacted dust. Did exactly what you said and it’s now up and running. Thank you, thank you, thank you. X
What’s up Michelle, you are very welcome. So happy to hear you didn’t toss the vacuum out. 😁
Let us know if you have any questions along the way. Thanks for watching. 😎👍
That was THE most in-depth cleaning video I have found. THANK YOU
Hi Sonya, that’s great to hear. We appreciate you taking time out of your Monday afternoon to share this comment, it means the world to us.
I am a 67 yr old female and I just watched this and worked through cleaning my v7 Dyson that would only run for maybe 3 minutes before shutting down. I will now wait for the filter to fully dry, but the system without the filter seems to be running longer. Here’s to fingers crossed that tomorrow it will be back to 100% 🤞
I seriously can’t thank you enough for posting this video! We just bought this vacuum and it suddenly would pulse four times and then stop working, and I didn’t realize the whole base canister was removable and there was a huge piece of bread crust jammed and one of the valves that was causing the problem! I would’ve never known to do that without your help. I would have thought that our vacuum was somehow defective! Thank you so much again and have a wonderful day! God bless you and your family:)
We really appreciate you sharing this, us DIY'ers need to stick together. We hope all is well with you and your family.
Mine was the same as yours, pulsating 4 times then nothing. My dyson handheld is only 3 months old. Big blob of bread stuck at the top of the tank blocking a hole. Did the filter thing and working like new now. Can’t thank this guy for posting the video also,happy vacuuming 👍
I followed your instructions on cleaning the filter. I also added some washing up liquid and hot water and flushed it through. Golly the amount of muck that came out. I left it over night to dry out. It now works like a new machine. Many thanks for your informative video. Keep them coming.
That’s awesome, thanks for sharing this. Getting that muck out of there does wonders. Thanks for watching Chris.
😎👍
I wish I had seen this video sooner. Everyone talks about rinsing the sock but no one showed taking it apart. Mine was filled with dirt and now my vacuum is running normally. I can't thank you enough for sharing this.
You are very welcome Laura, so happy to help. Removing the sock from plastic housing is pretty important. 😁
Let us know if you have any questions, hope all is well.
U r a diamond in a sea of glass! Had no idea my top filter was so HORRENDOUSLY DIRTY even though I thought I cleaned it properly…the removal of the outer sock was genius and once removed I saw it was clogged to the middle with hard dried debris…UNREAL! And it took me almost twenty minutes to clean out WHAT I COULDNT SEE INITIALLY…from the sock after I had removed the skeleton …debris just came out like a never ending well of crud…so I’m letting it dry 24 hours and praying for the best ..so much appreciated …better than Dyson could ever explain …stay blessed
Woah my filter was filled inside. Thanks soo so much for this video. I got given a free vacuum and it didn’t work. You saved this single mom from having to buy a new vacuum.
Very cool, we appreciate you watching & sharing this. Free is good. 😁
So happy to hear it’s up & running, hope all is well.
😎👍🔧🔩
Thank you so much!!! My Dyson V8 has been cutting out for weeks & driving me insane! I wash my filter regularly but have never taken it apart & I only wash it out with cold water as directed by Dyson. After watching your tutorial, I have pulled it apart & rinsed it with warm water and then detergent & hey presto!! I've saved myself 100's of pounds as today as I was going to buy a replacement model!
Great job Anita, definitely a great feeling when successfully completing your DIY project.

Legend! I didn’t even know that filter / sock came apart. I always thought it was clean. Opened it up and it was FULL of dust and debris. Thank you!
Good morning, just poured a cup of coffee and am sitting down to answer any and all questions for the DIY community.
Very kind of you to share, we appreciate that. The internal portion of the sock can definitely gather a significant amount of dust and debris over the years if not clean…ultimately causing the vacuum to get to a point where it tells you…ya know what, I’m done until you clean the internal portion of the filter housing…🤣

@@DIYwithMichaelBordersI didn't know it came apart either, I was just beating them against a post, outside, and hosing them off. I have a couple of extra filters so I don't have to wait for them to dry. Until your video, I struggled to to put the thing back together after emptying it.
@@donnawanna9833
Thanks for watching and sharing this. These little filters are tricky to separate and put back together however very important and valuable when completed. 🧰
Thank you so much for this video. My quarantee had run out last month and I couldn't afford a new dyson so I watched your video and omg my dyson is back to itself again. Thank you again for this video, it saved me a lot of money. I used a hairdryer to dry the filter as i needed to use it today
You are very welcome, great to hear its back to running like itself again. Enjoy that rewarding feeling earned from a successful DIY project.
😎👍
I cleaned everything like you said and when I took the sock off, I couldn’t believe what came out of it. Hair ball and lots of dirt. I had shook the sock before, but never realized it could be taken apart and rinsed. Now my it works perfectly again. Thank you so much for this video.
You are very welcome, and we appreciate you taking the time to watch our video…and share a comment.

Thank you so much I do wash my collection bin and rinse my top filter but have never taken the filter apart before. When I did there was a great lump of hard dried fluff and dog hair inside the basket. I did exactly as you said, and now it works. I have bought a new lead, and that didn't work, so I thought I would try the battery that didn't work either. Watched your video and am so glad I did. I love my dyson. I'm so pleased. Thank you again.
That’s great to hear and we really appreciate you sharing this. Dyson is a great product and we have been very pleased.
The better you take care of your belongings, the longer they will last. Glad to hear you’re back up and running as designed.
😁👍
I was having the same issues - I also didn’t realise the sock part of the filter came apart and I found a hard piece of dried dust !! No wonder it wasn’t working properly ! All clean and back to full power and it’s 10 yrs old ! Thank you great advice 😊
Very cool and that’s awesome to hear. Great job making it a DIY project, and separating the two and cleaning the inside makes a huge difference! 😁👍
The tip at 3.40 is one I hadn't seen elsewhere. Definitely the source of my problem - thanks.
Good morning Trevor, we appreciate you sharing this. Finding the source to your problem is a great feeling. 👍
And I thought my battery was dead! Followed your steps and now it runs without pulsing - thank you.
Good morning ☕️ that’s great news. Nope, your vacuum is not dead. 😁👍
Awesome job making it a DIY project, saved yourself some cash by not having to buy a new battery.
Omg! It worked! Thank you so much!!! This is the best and most thorough video I could find! You saved me so much time, money and probably tears. Lol! … thanks again!
That’s very kind of you, & thank you for watching. Welcome to the DIY Raptor Club.

Thank you so much. I have had a useless Dyson in my home for a year. When I pulled apart the top filter and cleaned it. I now have a useful Dyson.
That’s great news!!! Useless transformed into useful is a great thing!
Thanks for watching. 😎👍
Don't forget the hepa filter at the back where the max button is. It twists off.
We recently purchased one of these and love it so far…hopefully it will last as they are not cheap!
Nice, we love it!!! Have been very pleased with this vacuum cleaner.
😎👍
You had the right at 0:55 that is exactly where the Dyson vacuum belongs!
Thanks for watching, let us know if you have any questions.
Excellent information! I just took apart our Dyson as well as our Eureka Stylus (the former was pulsing, the latter would run for 5-10 seconds then shut off), cleaned and cleared them out as shown, and got them both running like new. Thanks!
That’s awesome, this is a true testament to the Power of DIY! 😁
We appreciate you writing us and sharing your experience. Having them both back to running like new is a WIN!

Thank you so much for showing how to clean the cloth folter bag! I could not believe all the dog hair that was in there, lol. Thanks again; you kept me from throwing out my dyson!
I just followed your instructions and guess what? I fixed my vacuum machine completely. Thank you soooooooo much.

Omg, you're a genius 😊 You were right about others not saying anything about separating the sock portion from the plastic insert. Mine was already wet - I just washed it under running water and put it aside - when I saw your video afterwards and decided to click it. Then I follow what you said, I grabbed a small flat head screwdriver and easily push in the three little tabs and removed the sock portion. Just like you said, I was surprised, there was a wet ball of hair and nasty grime eww. Thank you!
Thank you young man for all the information we really appreciate
Thanks so much! It works again!!! I never notice I can open every parts .it’s all clean and work again ! Thanks a lot !
Thank you! I've never cleaned the filter before, so when I removed it, the dust had hardened clogging almost half of the filter capacity. Made all the difference in the world!
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Hardened dust will definitely cause this.
We really appreciate you sharing this, let us know if you have any questions, enjoy your weekend Dmitriy.

My partners cousin was about to throw hers out so I asked if I could have it. After watching this video and completing everything and a thorough clean, and now it works!
Wow
Mike
Taking the blue filter apart was the clue
Thank you
It had al kinds of gunk
Thanks for watching, great to hear you took filter apart and found the culprit. Awesome job making it a DIY project.
😎👍
Surprising blockage. I have cleaned the Dyson more than a few times over the years but the latest problem was the power cutting out. I have washed the blue filter before, so this time as you suggested I removed the washable part from the plastic and was shocked to see a large solid blob of hair and dust. Obviously every time I have washed it the dust and hair have combined just like a big mud pie and then dried solid. Thanks for the tip.
You are very welcome Ewen, thanks for watching & sharing this. We experience the same thing every few months when separating the two parts.
Clean & clear though when it’s all put back together. 😁👍
Thank you, fixed my Dyson

Removing the sock portion from the plastic insert of the center filter is the one that made mine work. Dyson's manual suggested users to wash the center filter, but doesn't say anything about dust would still build up after you wash it. That's what happened. It just became a mud build up inside the center filter. Thank you for posting this video!
You are very welcome, definitely a game changer. Even though the manual doesn’t state to do that as you mentioned… It’s a must! 😎👍

Clogged sock after about 20 uses, was completely gray and nasty when running under water, thanks for the video!! Hadn’t thought it’d be the sock.
You are very welcome, great to hear it’s all clean. 😁👍
Looking forward to 2024, many more helpful videos to come! 🧰
can't wait to try this. I also read on a Dyson comment section that if the vacuum stops after a minute or so then unplug the vacuum from the wall socket. replug it in and hold the start button for 20 seconds. not sure if this was a coincidence but it runs fine now.
Thanks for watching, let us know how it goes.
thank you so much for the filter tip! it was actually full of dust fingers crossed that in 24 hours my dyson will work again but i believe it will! thank you!!!
You are very welcome, looking forward to hearing back from you on how it performs after this cleaning process.
😁👍🧰
I had the pulsating issue and cleaned the filters before finding this video. I traced the problem down to only acting up when the power brush was attached. I found a clog at the flexible junction between the power brush and the extension tube. Thanks for creating this content.
Very cool, we are happy you came across our video. Let us know if you have any questions. Hope you’re having a great weekend.

Great video, very clear and helpful. Thanks so much!
Best one! Found a solid dust block in the filter sock plastic support Advice about length of time to run water through filter sock also important because it wasn't until ten minutes of doing it that bits started to come out (after tapping upside down) of the sock. Thanks so much👍🏻
I had just about given up because of the "on and off" thing. Turns out the center filter was totally clogged! Thanks very much.
Thanks. I had enough dirt in my filter sac to grow a small tree. Didn't know it came apart! I had just been running water over it.
You are welcome, thank you for sharing this. That sounds like a lot of dirt. 😁👍

Thank you so much for showing us how to take that filter apart. I had no idea! And I'd had my stick vacuum for a long time, and I just got a new battery. I got it on Amazon. I think I paid $26 for it. Not bad, got it replaced. It's on the charger even though it says it's fully charged. I stuck it in there anyway. But I put the clean filter in that they sent, and I decided. I'd wash the other one because I usually do them every 3 months, so I figured It wasn't too dirty, but I took it apart like you suggested, but after I soaked it a little. I always put a couple drops of Dawn dish soap in there and rub it together between my hands, like a tube and squish out all that dirt and then rinse for like 5 minutes with cold water until it runs completely clear. And then I let it air dry overnight. Well. Twenty-four hours. But I live in Arizona, so I put it out in the sun. It'll be dry in two minutes.....lol..lol
Awesome, great job doing that and that’s a great idea to perform filter cleaning on a routine basis as you do.

Trying this now and hopeful this is my fix! My filter was full of debris in side! 😮
Thanks for watching, looking forward to hearing back from you.
After watching other videos, I had done everything to mine they showed but it still flashed yellow and stopped. I even tried to blow the thing out with an air compressor. I watched your video and took the filter sock off and sure enough there was a 1” clog of hair, dirt & debris in the end - even though I had cleaned this sock under water as others showed. It is drying now for 24 hr. I bet this will work tomorrow when I reassemble it! Thanks!
Awesome, great job making it a DIY project. That little sock gets pretty clogged up. Getting that filter wet and not cleaning the inside of sock can unfortunately make it worse.

Have had this machine for 6 years. Replaced battery already. I disassemble the unit and water/soap wash everything except motor and handle assy. Dry with paper towel, hair dryer and 8 hours of time and it's brand new again.
Thank you so much! I was able to get my Dyson to work again.
Thank you so much for your video! I just realized the purple part is depart-able and it have tons of dust inside

My Dyson would start and stop constantly even after fully charged. I have pets and I vacuum a lot. I clean the top with no resolution. When I cleaned the bottom (motorhead) I found a bunch of pet hair clogging the vacuum. It worked like a charm after cleaning it.
Good morning ☕️
Awesome job getting your Dyson back up and running. Pet hair will definitely cause your previous vacuums symptoms.
Great job making it a DIY project. 👍
If you get the flashing blue again. Do not replace the battery. A new battery does squat. With these older vacuums, there was and issue with underpowered batteries in these vacuums. The issue lies using max setting. While using the vacuum with the wand attached and using the brush roll causing load and overheating on max setting. Also the radial seals in the powerhead, that surrounds the motor which is a flat rubber ring with air passages that holds the motor in the housing becomes blocked and caked with fine dust and blocks some of the passages adding to the temperature rise in the motor adding more load to the battery demands. This was a design flaw on dysons part. A new battery will only last 3 months under heavy use. I know these vacuums have pet attachments, however constant pet grooming and constant rough garbage like dried mud, pebbles from the road, drywall dust, sawdust and any industrial debris is not recommended either. Max setting should only really be used for non electric motorized brush roll attachments, with or without the wand. Because the wires that run through the wand for the motorized powerhead develop lots of load to the electric motorized head on max setting. Here to its also a good idea to check the power brush contacts on the dustbin for corrosion. Now for the wand to check the connection for grounds, shorts or faults you need a voltmeter. If you have weak continuity from one of the terminals to the tubing of the wand you have a ground and your battery will drain or the powerbrush will slightly bog or squeal under load. Loose wand on the unit also contributes to electrical issues. Now hoe to reset this. If the vacuum cuts out every 15 seconds constantly or intermittently from time to time. Depress the trigger. While running for 5 seconds, push the max button to off position. If it's already off. Stop after 5 seconds. Now with the wand attachment off, put it on the charger until the light goes off again. ( may take half hour or 45 minutes). If you don't do this the first time by sticking it on the charger the vacuum will go off after 15 seconds then you'll have to start over again. Once the vacuum light goes off on the charger. Try it again on low setting, it should work. However remember it's up to the operator how they use the vacuum. Use it heavy with all the motorized power attachments on high, you'll get that same fault. With a new battery under the same conditions your new battery may last from 3 to 9 months and your back at the beginning. Eventually it can get so bad that the red flash of death appears then you are totally screwed. There are also bulletins even recommending not to constantly use the device on high settings constantly. These vacuums are not shop vacs. Remember it's like an automobile. It's equipped with max throttle, if you constantly race your vehicle and run it at high throttle and rat bag it constantly, eventually it will break. Take other youtube repair links with a grain of salt on these vacuums. I like this video. As an experienced vacuum repair technician I see a lot of these vacuums given away when the fault lies with the inexperienced. I'm just putting this out there for future reference for these sophisticated computerized digital motor vacuums. Great video 👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching and sharing. Great info and we appreciate you taking the time to post this. Well put!

My V6 dyson(sv03) when I run it turns on for about 30s then flashes amber 2 short flashes, then long, then repeats this about 4 cycles. I have done pretty in-depth cleaning on this, learning from other videos on dyson v6 cordless. I have taken it completely( dismantled 100%), worked very well until I thought original battery was done. I purchased off market replacement. Wondering if this might be issue, as I’ve read from other posts. The original battery/unit is about 5-6yr old. That’s why thought after I cleaned it all out, filters included it was the battery. Now the replacement does this. Wondering if you can provide some advice. Could there be fine dirt built up in the motor housing or behind circuit board? I don’t want to mess with circuit board unneedingly.
@jenniferweisenberg3605 . Most likely yes. However over time and abrasive activity of fine dust the circuit board for the brushless motor can cause shorting to the point of causing resistors to become damaged and other circuitry not to respond to the battery control unit. Also aftermarket batteries can have slight issues with fluctuations in output and aren't quality controlled and the thermistors in the aftermarket batteries may not be up to par which prevents battery from excessive heat. Always best with these vacuums is to use a factory battery. The magnets in the rotor part of the unit mat also be weak. If the ceramic housing has any types of nicks or even hairline cracks, then any expansion may cause imbalance and slight vibration may cause heat issues. Yellowing of the ceramic housing indicates heat fatigue over prolonged use and age of the unit. 5 or 6 years is quite a long time under heavy use and adverse conditions. Over time even the best products do break down. With these vacuums there can be a lot of factors from pitted bearings to abrasive wear, to overheated circuit boards causing components and connections to weaken over time to weakening of the windings and weak polarity of the magnet system
@@Ecksterphono Thank you for the info & detail. Much appreciated. I’ll check out price of dyson battery. Last I checked it was pretty much better buy brand new. I actually don’t use this vacuum very much or aggressively. Mostly for light dirt around kitchen so don’t have to haul out my main central vac. If it’s 6 yrs old I’d bet it maybe has running hrs about equal to 3 yrs use if I had to estimate. Thanks again!
Thanks. Great video. And my Dyson is working again.
Unfortunately I just threw my vacuum cleaner in the bin. That's after I bashed it a few times against the wall in frustration! Wish I'd seen your video first. Have just ordered another!

Thank you for the video . I will come back with final results after finding a lot of debris in the filter . Ive left it steaping for a while in detergent and will see how it goes. It's utterly annoying that Dyson engineer wizards make these with these as I will call consumer defects most likely to sell the part over and over again on an already overrated price inflated product .

Delighted to say that we have some success. On using the boost button this remains intermittent and most annoying. Having cleaned the filter though suction is much improved as you would expect and my little tip after final rinse I use some ultra concentrated fabric softener and leave to dry so when you use you have a lovely fresh smell blowing through .

@@tlrmd4you
They definitely should last longer than 2 years. You may want to contact Dyson and see if you can get a warranty covered battery.
Brilliant thank you.
Good morning ☕️ you are welcome.
Great stuff !!!
We appreciate that, thanks for watching. 😎👍
I just want to Thankyou so much for showing me how to fix the pulsating problem on a 3 month old dyson. Mine was a blockage at the top of the tank that was blocking a hole, did the filter thing and bingo ! Working like new again. Respect to you 👍

You are very welcome, thanks for watching. 😎👍
I bought another filter from Dyson and put the clean dry filter in while the other is drying. Then I repeat the process when I want to clean the other one. Set a timer on your phone to remind you when to switch and clean the filter.
Thanks!

Love your wood floor!!!!
In addition to the tricks that you showed, when I am emptying my vacuum, I GENTLY tap the unit on the edge of my supercan and dusts falls out of the central tube.
We appreciate you sharing this, thank you. Any and all helpful info is greatly appreciated.
I just did the same tapping thing and an amazing amount of gunk came out. Waiting for the sock to dry to see if it fixed my problem. Fingers crossed.

Brilliant video, many thanks, my Dyson is now working again! 👍
Great to hear & we appreciate you watching. Hope all is well, thanks for sharing this.
Hi there, great maintenance video. Taking the filter apart was brilliant! My machine was starting and stopping, but what was causing it was the little gate valve was stuck in the front of the canister inside the Grey connector. Pushed it free with my finger and it was back to normal running!
Thanks again.
You are very welcome ken, so happy to help. Welcome to the DIY Raptor Club, thanks for watching.

And the reason you could not suggest to use a dry clean paint brush to sweep the dust and debris away from the filter once you remove the csnister was ehat exactly. Your video is suposed to be a tutorisl on how to clesn the various part but you dont even mention what tools to use to do that. Your fingers sre not thorough enough, they czn get the big stuff but not the finer silt thst usually covers everything inside the dyson. An inch wide paint brush is s great help.
Thanks for watching, great thoughts and advice. We appreciate you taking the time to share this.
A fresh new clean paint brush is a great idea! Any and all helpful feedback is greatly appreciated, no joke!
Love the way you delivered your message! 🤣

Check the red flapper check valve in the intake just before the canister. Mine was stuck shut by sticky gunk. Works good now
Thanks for this video. I took the filter out and washed like you suggested. Good golly miss Molly it was filthy. The bowel I used turned the water a very dark gray. Everything is now great. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. That’s great to hear. They can definitely get dirty over the months.
Hopefully many stress free days ahead for you. 😎👍🔧🔩
Here's a Dyson hand-held vacuum cleaning tip from the UK. When you've taken off the dust container, get a garden leaf blower and use it to blow all the remaining dust from from the filter. It's quick, easy and extremely effective.

Thank you for your video.
I couldn't work out why it kept stopping.
Hidden in the head of the cleaner to the side was a huge build up of fluff.
Check the head - the end sides.
Thanks. I've rinsed the filtre under the tap but never opened it up. Quite the mess in there. The inlet at the top also had a hair plug that was not helping. Love my pups but they do breed dust bunnies. Anyway, another item to add it to the list of things to do from time to time.
Thanks for watching & sharing this, ours gets pretty dirty as well. Great vacuum!!!
Time to time cleaning is what we recommend. 😎👍
We have to go through all that trouble for a $475 vacuum seriously that does nothing but vacuum like everybody else's does forget it man I was taken for a ride!
Thanks for watching, let us know if we can help answer any questions.
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders ty🥴👍I'll unscrew, it will be my final try🤔
Thanx I'll let you know
How nice
@@nikimethadonefreeiam1800
So happy to help! 😎👍🧰
This was a helpful demo indeed. -thanks for sharing
My unit (same model) stops fairly rapidly during use especially under max power setting. I get 10 blue flashes so I would reconnect to the charger briefly and unplug when solid blue light appears, usually within seconds, then disconnect charger and unit would restart again.🤔 I would have to repeat this process to clean an entire room which becomes a nuissance.
Any suggestions? Is this a sign that it is time to replace the battery pack?
My Dyson V6 doesn't have any visible clogging. It will still not hold a charge. Bought it on eBay as a refurbished model. Maybe it's the battery. I do not want to send it back. Where can I purchase a battery?
