V6 Motorhead

My Dyson V6 Motorhead cordless vacuum- the motorhead has stopped spinning and there's hardly any suction. I've cleaned it fully and nothing is stuck. The vacuum works with different attachments. Just the motorhead doesn't work at all. Any ideas?

Have you completely pulled the brush spin part out?

Yes.

Sometimes hair around the brush at the ends stops it spinning. But the product is cheap. I’m buying a new brush end off eBay as mine stopped working after a year or two

My wife and I love the Dyson we currently have however, it has been blowing dust out of the back of it after the canister as been emptied. It also has been doing this once the canister is re-attached. Could this be a problem with the filter needing cleaned/ replaced?

So the air filter just pulls out at the top of the motor, recommend cleaning once/twice a week if using everyday

Dyson
Dyson Team ..Dyson

We certainly wouldn't expect any Dyson machine to blow dust out of itself.

We would kindly ask you to get in touch directly with our Dyson Experts via [email protected] and we will be happy to help get this sorted.

do i have too screw the docking station onto a wall or can i just leave it propped up against the wall?



1 answer
Dyson
Dyson Team ..Dyson

It's best not to leave the machine sitting propped against a wall while charging in case it gets knocked over and damaged. We'd suggest to charge the machine with the power cord while it's sitting on a flat surface, or install the charger into the docking station and install the docking station on a wall.

Strange. Mine automatically goes from high to low power too. I’ll watch and hopefully you’ll get a good answer

i think that should be normal, that's where the air come out.

Dyson
Dyson Team ..Dyson

Please be assured it is completely normal for air to exit the rear of your Dyson machine as this is the location of the machine's exhaust.

If you feel the machine isn't working as it should, or differently to when you originally received it, please forward your details to [email protected] and our Dyson Experts will be in touch and happy to help.

My dyson v6 Motorhead will only charge for 30 seconds and then just stop. What should I do?

Make sure your filter is clean and there is nothing blocking the intake to the rubbish canister. I thought my Dyson was faulty because it would make the noise that’s it had a flat battery however I did the above and it was fully charged and now works perfectly fine.

V6 Motorhead

Hi. I have a dyson v6 stick vac. I typically use it on the high suction setting. I will use it to vacuum the whole kitchen floor at one time. My husband told me I should not run it continuously because it is only meant for small quick pick ups. Is this true or false?

Thanks.

1 answer
Dyson
Dyson Team ..Dyson

Hi Carolyn,

Thank you for your query.

Should you wish to use the machine for the entire battery run time (between 6 and 20 minutes depending on the mode selected), this is perfectly fine. Please be assured this is perfectly fine to do and won't cause any damage to the battery. We just recommend to keep the machine on charge when not in use, to ensure the machine charges, and stays ready for your next cleaning session.

Best wishes,

Shan

There will be some air expelled from the back of the machine, if you are finding this has increased we would recommend to wash the filter.

Can i keep my dyson motor head charging all the time in the docking station? Will this spoil the battery? Or should I unplug once charged?

Why does my V6 quit then flash 1 yellow light then 10 blue flashes?

1 answer
Dyson
Dyson Team ..Dyson

Hi Rod,

Thank you for your query.

This would usually indicate the machine is warm, and out of battery. Please let the machine cool for 30-60 minutes before charging for 3.5 hours and the machine should then run like normal.

If not, Please give us a call on 1800 239 766 or email [email protected] and we will be happy to help. Our Dyson Experts are available Monday - Friday 8 am - 8 pm and Saturday - Sunday 8:30 am - 4 pm EST.

V6 Motorhead

Can Dyson answer the question why the air blows right on your face when using it? How clean is that air that comes out? I have respiratory problem.

1 answer
Dyson
Dyson Team ..Dyson

Hi Fedelie,

Thank you for your query.

While normally this shouldn't happen under normal use, it can if your machine is being held closer to your face than normal, or at certain angles. That being said, please be assured the air coming out of the machine is cleaner than ambient air, so you don't have to worry.

If we can assist further, or you would like to discuss further, please email [email protected] and our Dyson Experts will be in touch.

My ( 3 months old ) V6 pulses off "auto cut out", no matter which attachment. I replaced the cyclone. Cleaned the cyclone filter. Cleaned and checked all connections. However, there is no cutting out problems when the cyclone filter is removed! Any help?

Hi Irene,

Thank you for your query.

Please don't use your machine without the filter in place. This can cause damage to the machine and invalidate your Dyson guarantee. Should you wish to purchase a second filter so you can always have one ready to go, the filter for the V6 can be found here: http://shop.dyson.com.au/spare-parts/filter-965661-01
