FIXED: Dyson stuck in upright position (easy fix shown and explained)

Fast fix for a Dyson vacuum stuck in the upright position. Fixing a Dyson in real-time that won't release and recline from the upright position.
My Dyson DC27 was stuck in the upright position. Pulling on the handle felt like it was going to break. In this video I show how I resolved this with a simple clean of the upright mechanism.

Thank you! Your clear directions worked like a charm despite being an older model.

Thank you so much for sharing this! I had written off my Dyson that is similar because it sounded like a tree breaking under too much ice every time I tried to use it. This fixed it! Thank you!

It worked for me! Thank you so much for the video! Saved me a $100 service call

I use some dry graphite, and it seemed to work pretty well.

Worked just great! I used WD40, big hands wouldn't allow the cleaning with soapy water. Thanks!
