Dyson vacuums are a household favourite across Melbourne. Known for their powerful suction, sleek stick design, and cutting edge technology, they’ve redefined how we clean our homes. But even the most advanced Dyson machines can run into trouble over time. Whether it’s a loss of suction, a brush bar that stops spinning, or a battery that won’t hold charge, these issues are more common than you might think.

The good news? Every problem has a solution. At Dusti, our team of Dyson specialists repair and restore vacuums to peak performance, helping Melbourne households get the most from their investment.

In this guide, we’ll explore the top 5 most common Dyson vacuum issues and explain how Dusti’s expert repair services can quickly fix them.

1. Loss of Suction Power

A Dyson that suddenly isn’t sucking properly can feel like it’s lost its magic. This is one of the most reported Dyson vacuum issues, often caused by:

  • Clogged or dirty filters
  • Blocked airways from dust or pet hair
  • Overfilled dustbins
  • Cracked or worn-out seals

Our Fix: At Dusti, we start with a full inspection of your Dyson. Our technicians deep-clean filters, clear blockages, and test airflow efficiency. If parts are worn, we repair or replace them using high-quality components. Most customers are amazed at how their Dyson feels “brand new” again after a service.

2. Dyson V11 Trigger Not Working

The Dyson V11 is one of the most popular models across Melbourne, but its trigger mechanism is a frequent point of failure. Problems can include:

  • Sticking trigger
  • Broken springs
  • Complete trigger failure

Our Fix: We carry out professional trigger replacements and adjustments. With access to compatible parts, Dusti ensures your V11 trigger works seamlessly again — without the frustration of makeshift fixes.

3. Battery Issues: Vacuum Won’t Hold Charge

If your Dyson vacuum dies mid-clean or refuses to charge, it’s likely a battery problem. Over time, lithium-ion cells degrade, resulting in:

  • Reduced runtime
  • Flashing battery lights
  • Sudden power loss

Our Fix: Dusti provides reliable battery replacements across all popular Dyson stick models (V6, V7, V8, V10, and V11). With a new battery fitted by our experts, your Dyson regains its full runtime — meaning no more half-finished cleans.

4. Brush Bar Not Spinning

A Dyson’s brush bar is essential for lifting dirt, hair, and debris from carpets and hard floors. If it stops spinning, the most common causes are:

  • Tangled hair and debris blocking the bar
  • Worn-out drive belts
  • Motor or electrical issues inside the head

Our Fix: Our technicians dismantle the cleaning head, remove stubborn obstructions, and test the brush motor. If parts are beyond repair, we replace the brush bar or motor for reliable, smooth cleaning again.

5. Strange Noises or Rattling

Your Dyson should hum smoothly, not roar, squeal, or rattle. Unusual noises often point to:

  • Motor wear
  • Damaged fan blades
  • Loose internal parts
  • Debris caught in moving mechanisms

Our Fix: Using professional diagnostic tools, Dusti identifies the exact cause of the noise. From replacing worn motors to securing loose parts, we make sure your Dyson runs quietly and efficiently again.
