OMG, so glad I found this video, I literally tried everything to get my Dyson to work again, I finally gave up and was about to purchase a new head when I stumbled on this video, I decided to give it a try, so like the above comment I had to head out to Home Depot to purchase a T8 screwdriver (never heard of a T8 screwdriver until this video) came home took it apart just like you showed and wallah there it was a huge ball of hair wrapped around the spindle, after excitedly removing it and put it back together I squeezed the trigger and what a joy to see my brush spin again, my wife laughed at me too see my glee over a vacuum cleaner, lol, THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO, I learned something new today, what a joy, Thanks again, take care.
Agree saved me £50 from a hidden screw
WHAT A GENIUS. I stripped down the entire assembly, cleaned lubed checked electrical conductivity but nothing. Went to order a new motor assembly then saw your channel. YOU STAR. the spindle was chock a block with hair. took as long to clean it as it did to reassemble. Thank you so much. Great channel.
Thank you! Finally found someone who really knows what to do and demonstrates clearly!
I’ve been scratching my head for a while trying to figure out why my machine wasn’t working and found your video saved my buying a new machine thank you
You are my hero. I ordered the screw driver and pulled out a huge ball of dog hair. I had phoned the Dyson helpline several times and they assured me that I would not be able to get at the hair and that I needed a new head at nearly £60. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much - saved me a lot of time, effort, and money! The hardest part about this repair was finding the T8 screwdriver 😂
Thank you so, so much. I was literally looking online for a replacement motor head when I stumbled upon your video. I spent an hour taking the whole head apart trying to fathom why the motor wouldn't turn. I didn't realise the black spiral bit came off. Lo and behold when I took it off there was a HUGE chunk of burnt hair. Pulled it out and I now have a nicely working Dyson again. I can't thank you enough, you literally saved me £59 for a replacement head. The Dyson help page said I needed a new part. Such a quick and easy fix, literally took me 3 minutes. Bless you.
I’m glad you found it useful, please subscribe in support :-)
After a few hours of struggling to take the whole thing apart I found your video, exactly the same problem, a big coil of the wifes hair. Saved me buying a new brush head, thanks for taking the time!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I tried EVERYTHING, followed all of Dyson’s step by instructions, it still didn’t work. It was recommended that I buy a new motorhead for $149. Then I watched your video. I followed your simple instructions and it totally works now!! Thank you so much.
Thanks mate, I opened everything and even reached a motor but couldn't figure out the fault.
I could never reach this hidden spot without this video.
This video has saved us a lot of hassle!!! Thank you so much, it worked an absolute treat. I thought I was going to have to buy a new head so you've saved us 50 quid
You are a god sent! I took my vacuum to the shop three times now and it still wasn’t spinning when I got it back! I was about to buy a new vacuum. This video just saved me SOOOOO much money. Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Brilliant - I had tried everything else, even Dyson website and loads of other youtube vidoes but no-one else suggested this fix. I ordered a T8 screwdriver and then followed your instructions and works perfectly. Thank you so much saved me £55 for new motorised head.
Thank so much for this. I ordered t8 screwdriver from Amazon, followed your instructions and bingo, it worked. You saved me about £50 .
Hi Mark, I have been trying to repair my dyson v6 for months. Tried everything your video was my last hope. Just want to say a BIG BIG THANKYOU. the way you explained everything so slowly carefully you made it so easy. Your a star. 👌👍🏼👏🏻
Thank you so so much for this video. My Dyson had this exact same problem & Dyson wanted £60 for a new motorhead as it was a few months out of warranty. I’m not a practical person at all & really rubbish at this kind of thing but I followed your instructions & sure enough, a big clump of burned hair stuck inside. Removed it & now it works a treat! Thank you so much, saved me 60 quid!
your guide to cleaning out the axle drive fixed ours and saved us buying a new one - thank you!
Many thanks Mark. I’d cleaned the head out but wasn’t aware of the screw holding in the driving pin. This was where my issue was. Appreciate your time and effort on the video. 👍
Just want to say thanks. Fixed my dyson and it works like a charm now. My wife went as far as wanting me to buy her a brand new one. Now everything is cool.
We had this issue...dysentery wanted to charge us a fortune..in fact recommending a new dyson...we followed your instructions to the letter and found tonnes of my wife and our cats hair in there...removed...and now a superb dyson again...this is a serious design fault that dyson need to fix...many thanks..
You saved the day, I thought I looked in every crevice to figure the problem, but I didnt. I didn't think hair could get behind there but it can and i had a bunch in that spot. Thanks for the great video.
Thank You! Another $164 you've saved someone... I'd literally pulled the whole head apart, never would have thought that spindle comes off..
Excellent solution. I’d checked and cleaned all the electrical contacts, removed all the visible hair and the suction was there but no rotation apart from the first second. I followed the video, and found a tight ball of hair in the exact place you find yours and, hey presto, all is now working perfectly. Many thanks.
haven't used the main attachment for years thinking it was dead, this fixed it thanks so much!
Thank you! We unfortunately had the whole head in bits before we watched your video, but couldn’t get the screw in thing off, then watched this and did it straight away. Can’t thank you enough. 👍😀
Thanks for an excellent video. An easy 10 minute repair. That included 6:32 watching the video. Didn't know that the rotating shaft was removable. Dyson must be making a mint selling new brush bars!
THIS is why CZcams exists! Thank you for this gem. It saved us hundreds of dollars. A little difficult to find the proper screwdriver, but that was it. Sure enough it was the hidden hair that melted and stopped the roller working.
Thank you so much for this video. The amount of hair I found under the section was unbelievable. You have saved me from buying a new vacuum. Thank you so much again.
Hi there, I just want to say THANK YOU!! You've just saved us £60 for a replacement head from Dyson. When I explained the problem to them, their only comment was to say that we needed to replace the head (after only 2 years). I couldn't bring myself to buy the replacement as it seemed ridiculous that it could have 'broken' after such a short space of time - and guess what? After watching your video, I did exactly what you said, and you were totally right - the only problem was a bunch of hairs! I feel so empowered now and will definitely try to fix anything first before I replace items in the future! xxx
amazing, bought a t8 screwdriver for a couple of quid and i've avoided having to pay nearly 50 for a new head unit.
i'd cleaned every nook and cranny but never would've known about that last part. thankfully i randomly ended up here during a search. thanks mark.
Thank you very much. I actually ordered a new head as thought the motor had gone. Followed your video and yes, at the back of the brush drive was full of hair. Now working great again. Have cancelled my replacement and saved 70 quid. Thanks again!
Thrilled to have found this video. Thank you so much for sharing. Worked a dream (once we had put our hands on the T8 screwdriver!) Vacuum is 5 years old and well out of warranty and we were on the verge of ordering a new head. Thanks Mark.
Thank you for the kind words, please subscribe to support my channel 🙂
Thanks Mark, just saved me £55 for a replacement from Dyson. Fault was exactly as you described just as I was contemplating pulling the motor cover off.
It really does work! Thamkyou from someone who's never attempted to fix something before! Although dyson sent me a new head for free even though warranty had expired!!! Now i have two working heads. Thank you !
Had this problem for the past 3 years, on our second head as first was replaced under warranty. Same as you, wife and 2 girls, thanks for the video such an easy fix.
Saved my bacon with this video. Followed your instructions to the letter and fixed my Dyson. One thing though. On first attempt the head was seizing up after a few moments. I think the ballbearings were getting hot so I added a little grease and oil and so far it's all working perfectly. Thought that might help some of your viewers. Thanks again.
Mark, your the man, this has been driving me crazy, was exactly my problem, cheers for the video, Pam from New Zealand
Thanks for posting this ! This just saved us spending £55 on a replacement motor head. Once I realised it was the inner spindle and not the gasket that I had to prise off the job became a lot easier.
I too am very thankful I found this video. This is EXACTLY what was wrong with my V6! I had to buy a T8 screwdriver, but certainly glad I don't have to replace my Dyson! Thanks for the great instructions! :-)
You sir, are a vacuum angel. I thought I’d have to get rid of my beloved dyson, but you showed me the way. 🙏 thank you dyson angel
Hahaha. Agreed!! 😍
Was going to buy a new brush head, came accrue this video. Brilliant, dyson working now and saves some money. Thanks
Thank you so much! Dyson sent me three new heads while it was under warranty. Warranty ended and thought for sure I would have to buy a new vacuum. Couldn’t afford to buy a new head every few months. Just figured my collies fur was too much for this vacuum. So glad I finally found this video. Now I have a few heads that work.
Just fixed by DYSON V6 by following this demo, just cost me the price of a T8 screwdriver, thrilled. The only tip I could add is because I couldn't get the spindle off, I wrapped it in a thin piece of rubber and jiggled it and pulled it off gently with a pair of pliers. Thanks for solving my issue, hair behind spindle, works a treat now !
Mate I owe you a beer! Totally worked for me! There was hair all in the bearings that I managed to cut with some small scissors and then hover out. No wonder it wasn't working!
Worked for me, thanks! One note is that after cleaning mine still didn’t work, so I slightly backed off the torx screw and then boom. Others make sure not to tighten to much - thanks again.
The T8 didnt do its job there then did it? :P
Thanks for your added help also... exactly this issue happened to me. I thought it hadn’t worked and then read your comment, released the screw slightly and bingo! So thank you to you both!
Thanks mate. Instructions clear and like other comments, saved us at least £40 which repairer had quoted to have a look.
Worked a treat! I'd taken the head apart searching for the cause of the resistance in the brush bar but couldn't see how to remove the drive spindle. That is until i watched this video. I should have watched it first!
Huge thanks. Just fixed my V6 using your vid. Who would have thought there was hair behind the spindle.
Finally a video that works. Scamming gits at Dyson wanted to charge me 50 quid call out. Had them come out three times during the warranty with no joy.
Cheers boss
Legend Mate. Was about to fork out £55.00 on a new head and this was exactly the problem. Thanks again
I really appreciate you making this video, thank you. Once I was able to pull the gear out, I unclogged the hair and it worked perfectly. I wouldn't have even noticed the screw if it wasn't for this video! Thank you.
This is fantastic - exactly the problem i had - what a simple fix - so glad, as I was about to go to the Dyson Repair Centre saved me heaps $$$ - THANK YOU !!
You are a genius! Tried to take apart everything and was sure it was the motor and its gone, have to purchase a new one. Than my husbsnd found fhis video, we tried this solution and it absollutely worked!! Thank you!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 glad i found your video! You saved me from buying another vacuum head that costs $100! I’ve watched other videos but it didn’t solve the problem. Thank you so much!
Thank you. I’ve been looking for information for 6 months on how to get the drive off. There was an amazing amount of my wife’s hair under it.
Wow! Thank you! My vaccum never properly spinned and I thought it was a bad design thing. Now it spins! So glad I found your video.
Perfect. Confirmed my suspicions about the hair. Showed me how to remove the spindle easily.
Kudos. Got it in one. This video sorted out our problem with the V6 brush bar. Dismantling it as in the video the plug of hair was exactly in the same place. The heat generated was so much that the hair behind the capstan was blackened. Note to others, root out all the hair inside - the blackened looked like some kind of rubber seal until I poked at it as it didn't look quite right.
After cleaning it out thoroughly I gave the area s bit of silicone spray lubricant and assembled. It works like new again. Such a simple repair. Thank you so much.
Ahhh!!! Mark you are a star! I had all but given up on trying to troubleshoot the head not spinning on my Dyson. I watched 20 youtube videos and nothing worked. Much like the comment below, I had no idea what a T8 screwdriver was but went into the hardware store and for $7 - I fixed it (well with the hardware store guy's help, we had to saw off half the handle of the screwdriver to fit inside the head, haha). Thank you!!
Was I pleased or was I pleased when I checked on CZcams and found your video! I had cleaned every part of the head of my Dyson V6, all to no avail I might add and could not understand why the brush had stopped spinning! Being a lady in her early 40’s and forever having to pay out money when electrical items go wrong I really didn’t want to have to take the vacuum cleaner to a Dyson service centre knowing only too well the huge bill I was likely to receive from them. I followed your super informative video and found a ball of hair exactly where you explained the problem would likely be. The way you explained each part of the repair was excellent, well done I now have my V6 up and running smoothly again 😀 I knew the screwdrivers and pliers would come in handy one day!! 😂
Thank You! You taught an old dog a new trick! Was at the "buy a new head stage" and found your video just in time.
Thank for this video!! It was driving me crazy! Had no idea there was a screw there!
Thanks for this! I never would have thought there was a screw inside the drive! I took it apart prior to no avail but found a massive wad of hair in the same location as you. Now my vac works like new!
Thank you so much - I had the exact sample problem. I was very surprised how much hair can actually be chocked in there. I also added a drop of oil into the bearing.
Excellent video, thanks HEAPS.
Thank you mate exactly the same problem pulled out twice as much hair as on your video,almost junked it,now spins fine from start. life saver !
Thank you! I feared I was going to have to buy a new vacuum. This solved the problem and saved me $300 + 🙌🏼 thank you!!
It worked for us! Thank you. ***One thing for others is that when you get to the last little part to remove, it is just the "spinny cap" part you pry out, not the entire round section it rests in. We beat that up pretty good unnecessarily
Can't thank you enough! Been putting up with this issue for months and was about to pull the trigger on a new hoover and came across this video. Couldn't believe my ears when you described the exact issue I was having.
You sir just saved me $150 big ones! I appreciate you taking the time to make the video :D
Thank you. This was the fix I needed. I have long hair, so I have a feeling I will need to do this often. Thanks for taking the time to share this.
Life saver. I thought my Dyson was fucked. Thanks so much for this video. It's back up and running properly.
Thank you so much! I'm not much of a DIY tech, but impatience often drives me to 'have a go', and I'm quite proud when I manage to fix something! I followed your instructions, removed the 'drive' and found a tightly-wound knot of hair (mine!) around the little spindle inside. (It was so bad it had been causing a slight burning smell when in use!). I put it all back together, and it is working like new, and purring like a kitten (the Dyson - not me ;-)). So thank you again.
Excellent, I made a t8 screwdriver from a little flat head, then followed your instructions and now sorted that saved some money! Cheers for the video 👍
Brilliant. Took it apart and realised things were blocking it. Saved me 50 quid. You're a gent.
Pop a tiny squirt of WD40 in that bearing whilst you’ve got it opened up. Sometimes just cleaning the hair out isn’t enough; I imagine the burning hair dries it out nicely.
Thanks for the video - very clear and helpful. I’ve also got a hairy wife and two hairy children, so this is a common problem.
Thank you so much for this video. I managed to remove the hair and it is working again! I was so closed to getting a new one. You just saved me $700!
Thanks. Firstly, I tried to fix my DC59 animal by disassembling almost parts and still couldn't fix. Then I tried to buy new motorhead from Dyson website but there's no stock. Finally, I found your video and fixed easily. really appreciate.
This is the 3rd time I have used this helpful video ! Thank you. This is obviously a design fault of the Dyson V6.
Wish I had looked for this before I replaced my first head. You saved me from replacing another!!
Thank you so much Mark!! I showed this video to my husband and he fixed my Dyson!! What an easy fix.
I took the whole head apart, but didn't realise there was a screw in there. Thanks for this, very helpful.
BRILLIANT ! I knew what the problem was and stripped it down but went a little to far and removed the 'brush motor' I already had the right tools for the job but, I couldn't figure out how to remove that motor 'spindle' .... then I decided to 'google it .... voila .... you had the answer .... Thank you
Thanks. Just done this and saved me £70 on a new motorhead. I’ve dismantled the head a few times to clean it and I had no idea this part could be removed 😂
Brilliant mate,saved me £55 for a new motorhead👍👍👍
Iv just cleaned out my ENTIRE hoover and put it all back together and it WASNT SPINNING. Your video has just sorted it out ! Thank you so so much !!
Great video. I used pliers to remove the rotating part because I was worried about there being a belt behind it. However the belt is still hidden so if you’re struggling to remove it, you’re fairly safe jamming a flathead screwdriver in and prizing it out. So much hair jammed down there, thin pliers are actually very useful for pulling the hair out too. Thanks for posting this.
Yep, this helped. Wasn't sure if that part comes off or not. Thanks a ton. Even Dyson support or our local care could not solve this over many repair visits.
Mate, I went as far as vacuum cleaner shopping then thought, Dyson’s not going to beat me, not today. Watched your vid, and worked a treat. Slammed a bit of WD40 in too for good measure, practically scalps the carpet now
haha
I was googling to buy a new head and saw your video. Magically, it worked for me too. Thanks a lot man!
Perfect fix. Been cleaning bits of it for ages but only this worked. Was on the model before this but fix was same procedure. Thanks a mill.
Was about to give up and purchase a new one,luckily found this video at the last minute! And it did work after followed step by step! Really apprciate for sharing! Dyson really needs to improve this part
Thank you Mark !
After doing your procedure we still had a problem - as after a few seconds and the roller would not revolve. So we revisted the spindle again and realised that hairs had sort of fused themselves there ! It wasnt plastic, it wasn't paint - it was an insulator of what looked like hair. We scraped it off carefully and tried again.
Same thing - after a few seconds it stopped.
Thinking that I had failed, I just carried on to do the vacumming - but lo and behold, the roller suddenly started whizzing round and obviously all working. Just saying that something must have caked in the insides and it needed a bit of my pushing along the floor to clear it completely.
Fabulous video. Really helpful, as I didn't know whether to remove all the T8's and try to resolve the non working roller by trying to work out what was happening inside the head and I know you are not meant to - but you saved me heartache and worry. Thanks
If ever you feel inclined, you could always do a video about getting into the spindle side (which I understand you are not meant to) but I would be interested to see what gives!
Again, thanks.
Spot on with the problem and how to fix.. had this problem on my DC59 brush..and after watching your video, I found the exact same fault...thanks a lot for taking the time make the video and solving my issue. 👍
While on hold 27 mins to ask Dyson service I came across this video. It took me less time to do this than the phone call. I also found a ring of hair behind that gear. Thx heaps for the info!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was thrilled to find this video which didn’t just put down the “brush bar non-rotation” to blockages or hair in brush bar area.
I’d just washed the filter before trying this ( it’s still drying) so I had to test it out, after your fix without the filter! Yay, it worked -and you sir are a legend. I used a jewellers screwdriver, as it was all I could find that would fit. I’ll have to purchase the correct torx s/driver now!
I have multiple long haired animals and people in the house, and I’m forever cleaning the brush bar and popping out the little wheels to clean out the hair. I’m so happy this worked and saved me $$$. Again, thanks!
This worked for us, so thanks! Saved us 50.00 as we thought we'd need to buy a new head. It's definitely worth getting a T8 if you don't have one. Makes the job much easier.
THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH!!!!!! I went to lowes to buy the T8--I totally had to buy a kit bc they didn't sell them seperately--whatever best $12 of my life! Got home did what you said! excuse me while I am a vacuuming fool!!!
Worked perfectly! Thank you for this video. Much stress was taken away after this simple fix.
Thank you for being so kind, and for taking the time to make this video! My vacuum works again and it made my day!! I feel accomplished. I wish you the best!
