Fabulous instructions - thank you! I'm a 60 year old woman and I didn't have any problems changing the hose once I watched your video. You rock!! Now to tackle the lower hose...
This is the best vacuum I've ever owned, I've had it for nearly 16 years and this is the first part I've ever had to replace. Thanks for your video, I was staring at it like a monkey doing a math problem.
You don't have to take the end off at all.... Remove the canister and it allows you to slide the top end of the hose through the slot, although it's a snug fit it does go through without all that trouble and chance to poking a hole in your new hose.
You are absolutely correct. I knew Dyson would not make it that difficult. It just not there style. Thanks for pointing it out. Your comment made all the difference in replacing my hose.
After watching this, I realize I don’t need a new hose. I need the part you remove at the top of the hose (at around 3:00). I didn’t realize it was a separate part until I watched this so thank you!
@@TheHomeImprovementChannel I've just been looking for a video on how to change the little small hose, too (which, from what I've seen, is called the Lower Intake Hose, or Internal Hose), and looked to see if you happened to film that yet but didn't find anything. Anyway that'd still be on your TO DO list?!? 😉😉
Before you try replacing the main hose...have you tried turning your top power cord hook upside down? That's a preventative feature so that you don't tangle / yank the power cord. @1:08 you can see that the cord hook is still upright when it shouldn't be.
Hello. Seems like all that will do is help you get the cord off the reel a little faster. If the hose has a hole in it, I don't think this will help much except that you can get the cord out of the way a little faster. Thanks for the tip..
@@TheHomeImprovementChannel On my DC17 it locks the handle in place. Once I turn it upside down, the handle easily comes out and I can use the accessories.
My wand gets stuck a few inches into pulling it out. It takes wayyy too much force to be able to get it a few inches. I tried your method and the actual tube part doesn’t budge either. It’s just stiff all around. Very frustrating when I’m trying to clean
Something might be caked in there causing it to be tight. Did you look inside the hose to see if there's anything in there that would be causing a problem?
Yes, obviously if the hose is full of holes, but on this particular vacuum the hose didn’t pull out very well..stuck is similar, so it could be a hose..I can’t verify that without seeing it, so you’ll have to make your best judgment call
@@TheHomeImprovementChannel It was the spring. I used white lithium grease, spayed the area near red button, the groove on the silver hose, and the springs near roller. Works like a champ.
It seemed a lot safer to disconnect the top portion of the hose by entering the cowl from the top to pry off the lower portion of the hose. Less chance of damaging the hose.
We would never have been able to replace our hose without this video. Thank you for saving us a lot of money!
Awesome! You're welcome.. 😀

Glad it helped! I did a video on that one too..
@@TheHomeImprovementChannel I've watched that one too! Waiting on the part to arrive.

Yes they are pretty good vacuums.. . I have 2 of them and very rarely have I had anything happen to them... 😊

Good tips 😁😁

yes, good tip and also I had to lift the filter lid, then it literally fell out. thank you.
I thought there had to be a way to get the smaller end through without having to disassemble the top end.
Thanks for confirming this.

You're welcome.. :-)
Thank you very much! This helped me repair my dc17. It was a piece of cake after watching your step-by-step guide.
Excellent! Thanks for the comment.. :-)
Best video ever. Took 5 minutes to change hose, with a great dane helping.
Those Great Dane's are really helpful when they put their minds to it! Glad the video helped too....:-)
Great video. Super quality detail. You have made a lot of people's day including mine. Thanks for the help with this top shelf video.
Thank you so much! I'm glad I was able to help.. 😀
Easy enough for me to remove old and add the new! Thank you!!!
You're welcome! Glad I could help.
This was an awesome video. With your tips, it was easy peasy. Without it:.. I can imagine it would’ve been very irritating. Thank you!
You're welcome and thank you for the great feedback 😊😊
Thanks very much for giving me the details I needed to install. the hose correctly.

TYSM! I really appreciate that... 😊
