Keeping your home clean and dust-free relies on a vacuum cleaner that performs consistently. For many households across Melbourne, Dyson is the vacuum of choice thanks to its advanced technology, sleek design, and powerful suction. But like any frequently used appliance, Dyson vacuums can occasionally run into issues.

At Dusti, we specialise in Dyson vacuum repairs and have over 25 years of hands-on experience restoring performance to these trusted machines. Whether it’s a loss of suction or a battery that won’t hold charge, this guide will walk you through common Dyson troubleshooting tips and explain when it’s time to call in the professionals.

Common Dyson Vacuum Problems & How to Troubleshoot Them

If your Dyson vacuum isn’t working like it used to, don’t panic. Below are the most common issues homeowners report and what you can do about them.

  1. Loss of Suction
    Loss of suction is a frequent complaint and often caused by blockages.
    Try the following steps:
  • Check the wand, hose and cyclone for obstructions. Remove any hair, debris or dust buildup.
  • Clean or replace the filter (usually located near the motor). Dyson recommends washing it every 1–3 months.
  • Empty the bin if it’s more than halfway full, suction performance can drop.
  1. Brush Bar Not Spinning
    If your vacuum’s brush bar isn’t rotating, the culprit may be tangled hair, a blocked head, or a faulty drive belt.
  • Turn off and unplug the unit.
  • Remove the cleaner head and use scissors to gently cut away hair or string.
  • Inspect the brush bar motor and belt for visible damage.
  1. Overheating
    Dyson vacuums are designed to automatically shut off to prevent damage if they overheat.
  • Ensure all filters are clean and installed correctly.
  • Check for blockages in airflow paths.
  • Let the vacuum cool down for 60 minutes before trying again.
  1. Battery Issues (Cordless Models)
    Cordless Dysons can lose battery life over time. If your machine runs for only a few minutes or not at all:
  • Ensure the battery is properly charged.
  • Test with a different power outlet or charger.
  • Replace the battery if it's over 3 years old.
  1. Strange Noises
    Whistling, grinding or knocking sounds can indicate underlying problems.
  • Whistling often signals air leaks check seals and connections.
  • Grinding could be a sign of motor failure or foreign objects in the brush bar.
  • Knocking sounds may come from damaged internal parts and require inspection.
