Dyson has an amazing cordless vacuum cleaner called the Handheld V6. It’s a very reliable machine that will only require some regular cleaning and charging to keep it working at its peak performance. But it is getting old now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cleaning the motorized rotating brush head weekly is a task I don’t really look forward to doing. All the people living with me have long hair including the dog. Even though the Dyson V6 does a wonderful job, occasionally the brush head gets clogged or tangled up with long hair and then the V6 brush bar will not turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s look into why your Dyson V6 Brush Head is not Turning or Spinning Fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are 4 possible symptoms that can occur when your Dyson motorized brush head gets jammed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Dyson V6 motorized brush head actually has a small electric motor that is powered by the main battery. Wires travel through the vacuum tubes to the motorized head. Any blockage or dirt on the contact pins can cause DC power to not reach the brush head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dyson in its wisdom has set up an overload feature in its electronics for the brush head. Without this, the motor would pull too many amps and burn out. That’s why if you have a restriction on the rotating brush head you will notice the brush momentarily trying to turn. The V6 will temporally stop and then start up again without providing power to the rotating brush head. This saves the motor and your wallet from buying another part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s check out some simple tests to see where your problem is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following procedure is for the Dyson Models: DC59 Animal, DC61, DC62, V6 Animal, 595 650 770 880 SV03 SV04 SV05 SV06 SV07 SV09, <\/span>and V6 Fluffy motorized brush bar.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the part that had me stumped for a while. I could see that the rotating spindle was turning free but there was still a little bit of friction. When I first started up the cordless vacuum the Dyson v6 brush bar was not turning, or the brush head would turn for only a few seconds and then stop. This is the overload kicking in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
