- Detailed instructions from a professional on tearing down and assembling a Dyson V6 cyclone. **If this was helpful and you would like to send me a tip as a thank you: venmo @Brett-Magnuson-3
*FAQ*
Separator tool: search dyson v6 separator tool on amazon or ebay (the link was WAY too long)
Screw driver bit: Torx T8 although some have commented T7 works. Some have commented that T8 does not work. I have run into this a few times and the cause is dirt inside the screw that causes the T8 to not fit. Compressed air helped with that issue, OR using a smaller driver like a T7. :)
**Mistakenly included the V7/V8 when I recorded this and it’s slightly different. See below for V8 video.

Tools I use for cleaning are dish soap and water, a small paint brush, a tooth brush and several sizes of bottle brushes. Hope this helps!

Don't even bother looking at any other video on doing this. This is the best!!!! I disassembled mine down to the way this video shows without looking at the video and when I went to put it back together I had troubles. This video showed me exactly how to do it. Thank you so much for making this
I've been doing this for several years myself. It's amazing how well the vacuum works after a thorough cleaning like this. There is one thing I did learn watching this. For some reason, and I can't answer why, but I have never taken the filter off of the frame. I have always just washed it out and let it dry assembled. I have three of these vacuums and the next time I take one apart to clean it, I'll be sure to take the filter apart as well. Thanks for the demo. Very easy to follow for anyone who hasn't attempted, or even thought of, taking apart the vac and cleaning it thoroughly. Well done.
Pro tip for reassembly. Don’t use a power tool. Instead, insert each screw and slowly turn it backwards (loosening direction) until you feel the screw drop into the hole a bit. This is when the screw threads find the original cut threads in the plastic. When you feel the drop, that is when you start tightening the screw down by hand, and the screw should be using the original threads at that point.This will allow you to maintain some integrity of the hole and not cut multiple threads in the plastic, which after doing a few times will cause the hole to strip out and the screw won’t have anything to bite in to.
thanks for this tip! I have changed my method since this video to hand screwing back together and backing in the screws.
Thank you for this! Someone gave theirs away because they said their battery kept dying and she didn't want to deal with it. I replaced the filter and cleaned it out and it works just fine! I'm going to clean the cyclone when I have time this weekend.
I agree with the other comments, this is the best video. You have saved me a lot of money, my hoover is back to its best. The filter was clogged just like yours. I had no idea the filter hidden dirt in there. Many many thanks Sir.
You are a great instructor! I couldn’t believe how much dirt accumulated inside in every crevice!
Thank you for the nice compliment!
I saw the clip yesterday. Our V6 was pulsating. I thought oh no the battery is wrong after a year -> failed. Today i disassembled the housing completly and was washing the parts. After mounting all together i found another problem. In the transparent housing is additionally a swing door. This was also locked by dust. Now it works very well, thank You so much. One tip: Don't use it for suction on renovation or so, inside was a lot of plaster (Gips?). For such work i bought a cyclone which collect the dust in a bucket. Great video and exact explaining all steps.
We bought new filters for our V6 Dyson, but replacement didn’t help. I watched your video and removed the cyclone head. The outlet was almost completely plugged. I cleaned it out, but left disassembly and cleaning for a later date. I reattached the head, put the old(cleaned) filter in and it ran perfectly! Also disassembled and cleaned the powered roller-brush attachment. Thank you for the great video!
Thank you for the excellent walkthrough. It is easy for most DIYers to complete. I finally get to do a deep clean on my 3 years old V6. It had been plagued with the smell, and now it is all gone.
A friend just gave me her DC44 animal, when it died. I told her It was probably just a battery and I would get her one and replace it for her, but she said she had already bought a new Dyson and told me I could have her old one. So after buying and installing the new battery and confirming that was all it was. I decided to give it a good cleaning since it was a bit stinky and smelled like wet cat when running it. The DC 44 was a bit different on the disassembly but your video helped a lot. Also disassembled the power head and cleaned a few hundred feet of cat hair out of the beater bar. Now it has that new Vacuum smell and works great. thanks for the video.
Hands down the best V6 breakdown video. If you are googling, stop here. You've found what you need.
wow thank you for the nice compliment.
I really appreciated how thorough you were in this video. I also appreciated how it wasn't a camera aimed at you but instead concentrated on the clean-up. Sounds like you could use a room HEPA filter to cut back on that dust getting to you!
:)
This is the video I was just looking for. Very detailed and easy step by step instructions. You saved us big time!!! Thank you sooo much.
YW
Thank you so much for this video. You are detailed and precise in your explanations AND show how to put it all back together. All I had really needed was to know how to put the motor back on. Now that I watched your video I will do a deep cleaning of my DVO4.
Thank you for this video! I’ve been wondering how to safely take apart my dyson v6 and clean it without having to get it serviced. You gave me the confidence to do this on my own
Still going! Thanks! Absolutely helped me get this crazy vac apart and clean the stink out 😉. I would never have imagined how thoroughly dirty this little rascal gets. Tip: I did have to hang a magnet on my T8 driver to hang on to the deep screws. Tip: Amazon sells the filters.
I sprayed the entire insides some fabric protectant to see if I can reduce the grime. Fingers crossed.
Search no further, as this is by far the best video on the subject. It helped me get rid of the famous pulsing issue - a thorough clean-up, as shown in this video, will do the trick.
Thank you!
Thank you sir! Glad it helped you out!
Thank you Richard. Good to see a video by a true professional.
Since I finally got the special tool this was the first time I tore one down completely and your instructions, including reassembly, was invaluable. It was nasty inside and now it's like new! Thank you for making this video. I wonder how much I saved by doing it myself.
Glad to know it helped! I charge $50 for that particular service. Others may charge more or less. I've heard of some charging as much as $70. Depends on your area.
Long stem T8 is available on E-bay you need them for cordless Karcher window vacs as well.
I did use this cleaning procedure. My V6 was not quite as dirty as the one you show. BUT the cleaning still made a big difference to the performance of the unit. It is back to its original power. Thanks.
The buck stops here, hands down the best video on cleaning the Dyson DC59. Thanks! 😷
Wow, thanks!
I never knew that I needed to do any deep cleaning on any vacuum cleaner. I was very surprised how much 'crap' can stay behind. I have 2 dysons (hand held purple v10 and a purple floor model). I will be looking at the deep clean for both. Thanks for this information!
William Dager there’s a good phrase someone once taught me: ‘clean the things that clean for you’ ie dishwashers, washing machines and vacuums. There is more to add to that list but you get the gist.
This is a great video - very clear and concise.... and it's great to see a LEFT HANDED screwdriver!! Lol..
Thanks - really useful. I have a DC49 and although the cyclone looks very similar, it's different enough for me to have wimped out of the tear-down. Instead, I'm using mild detergent and a long drying period to make sure its all clean and dry inside.
I find that when you're re-assembling to put the screws in with a hand screwdriver starting the opposite direction until you feel the screw dropping in to the existing thread best. That way you're not creating new threads and weakening the hole. You can repeat this process far more often.
The clear tank can be washed in soapy water without problems, just put it on top of a radiator to dry it out quickly. Electronics are often washed in water, just that we dry them super quick to prevent them rusting! And before powering them up too.
Although I wonder if a partial disassembly and blasting air in from the filter side might be effective enough for most cases? I usually tap the vac to dislodge dirt when emptying anyway.
a PRO, no doubt! 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻 Short and to the point in a matter of minutes 😳😳! All you need to know to take things apart from your Dyson V6 or V7. The voice is very pleasant too and except for the little TYPICAL trouble "finding the hole", THIS WAS THE GEST Video so far.
:)
Most excellent video, never realised you could strip it down so far. Boy was it grubby inside. Thank you for the helpful video.
This guys is the perfect neighbor you wanna have
Victor 😂😂😂 thanks bro! I’ll tell my neighbors.
Oh great! Just what I needed. Now I can remove all that hidden dusts inside.
I had my v6 for 3 years. Thanks for the video, it was so filthy. I would never have known how to do this if it weren't for you.
Many thanks for taking the time to do this detailed video. It is the very best online. My DC59 ran 2 minutes and died. I cleaned the both heads thoroughly,. there are no blockage -- not a speck of dust. I then went thru you procedure and cleaned the unit and the filter. I also changed the battery and the charger -- all in succession because the damn thing still runs for less than two minutes and dies. Why is this doing that?
Is it pulsing? That's really odd considering what you've done to it that it still is only running for that short period of time.
Absolutely fantastic clear and concise instructions. I just cleaned mine and worked a treat.
Thank you so much. I figured most of it out myself, except releasing the cyclone piece from the handle....and I didn't realize the filter could be taken apart so easily. I didn't think much about it because I would wash it well....but when I took it apart it was half full of hair and things that wouldn't come out otherwise. Great video. I thoroughly washed everything but the handle. Mine needed it because I did some spackling sanding and used this as a secondary vacuum. It got everything that my other vac didn't....which was a TON of micro white spackling dust.
Excellent video but I don't have time to do this and the filter will not come apart! Dyson needs to rethink this vacuum.
Veronika "Ronnie" Tierney I love my Dyson, and this video but agree with the comment. I keep buying them though because they are so light and nimble. I have mobility issues so it’s great for that. My other BIG complaint is it not having a spare battery. 6-20 minutes just doesn’t cut it.
Thank yououououououo!!! The brushes on my attachments are now spinning again, phew I thought I would need to ditch and buy again even after buying a new battery and a new filter. Such a useful video, YOU ROCK!! 👏🙌👊👍🙏❤️
This is absolutely amazing video ,, thank you so much for taking your time and effort to share this with every one 👍👍👍
Thank you for the nice compliment! I'm happy to know it's helping so many!
Next time I take mine apart I’m going to try something new. I have a spray silicone called Maxima SC1 that I am going to apply to the interior plastic surfaces of the vacuum. It dries completely. SC1 is well known and used in the motocross world for its ability to help keep mud from accumulating on the underside of the fenders and other plastic parts. Now I’d like to see if it helps keep dirt from sticking to the inside of the Dyson.
Let me know how it works!
Hi from Swansea NSW Australia. Great video and thank you! The only problem I have is that I didn't know the type/ size of the drill bit/ screwdriver to use. After taking it to the local Bunnings (like your Lowe's?) Store i find I needed a T7 Torx driver which of course is as rare as hens teeth here. They are sold in assorted expensive packs. Anyway, after cleaning it i found that it was the charger that was the problem! It had come loose on the wall and wasn't charging properly. You may like to add a little note on the screen providing the correct size tool to use please. You have the best and most articulate video.
Thanks for that feedback! I updated my description to include that information. Glad it helped!
Excellent video. I love my Dyson except for the cleaning part. Now I can give it the cleaning it deserves! Also, now that I can see how to disassemble and get it back together again, maybe I'll try to find a used one on Craigslist to replace the broken trigger guard on my DC59.
Thanks for the link to the tool for removing the body too.
Thanks for documenting this. Was easy to follow
Had no idea the INSIDE of the filter caught dirt. Yuck! Thanks for a very informative video!
I watched them all this one best. Of course the right tools always help!
Thank you so much for this. I have been watching videos but you are so detailed. You just popped up on my feed. My husband and I are definitely going to clean our vacuum this weekend!
I agree with the filter because it’s a pain in the butt sometimes this video is very helpful
Very helpful!! I’ve looked at several but this is the best! Thanks for sharing this!
I am on a vacuum business and this is helpful for me
Awesome nice to meet you! Where at?
This video was very helpful! Thanks a lot.
I am just extremely disappointed about having bought the Dyson last year. With all the filters attached, the dust and dirt shouldn't go where it is going in the end and makes the Dyson unusable. Bad design and completely overrated.
I should have googled it much more before I bought it. So, I can only blame myself but need to help people saving their money.
My love for the Dyson just disappeared, having watched this video, because it always lets me down when I need it the most..... I will stick to my Miele, chord based and waste bag relying vacuum cleaner in combination with my IRobot.
It's perfect demonstration. Thank you for the detail instruction.
Whooop whooop...
Like a flipping PRO... supereasy to follow!
Thank you👍🏼
Just got done w/this procedure. EXCELLENT Rich! Thank-You very much!
A suggestion if you make a new video. During the clip tool separation part, after you remove the housing, using the tool, show how it interacts with the clip to release the housing when the housing isn’t in the way. This will help people who don’t have the special tool and are using screwdrivers to release the clip.
Thanks!
great video, very simple to follow. many thanks!
Thank you very much was tempted to have a go before but now no problem to do a propper job
This is a very good guide, that goes further and in better manner than others I have watched; one point I'd make is that I believe that the internal screws are torx size 7 since I ordered a torx 8 but when I tried it it only fitted certain screws (on the brush bar), and it wouldn't go into the internal screws. Thank you @richardsvacuumcenter
They are definitely T8 but what I do run into on occasion is that fine dust has built up inside the screw head so that the correct size will be too tight or not fit at all. Using the next size down is exactly what to do in that case! Thanks!
Well that sure does beat me banging it on the carpet a few times after each use LOL!
Awesome video, thank you so much for posting this! I couldn't do all the steps as I don't have a torx screwdriver but it runs so much better now from just cleaning out the other parts :)
Thank this is so helpful. I am forwarding this to my daughter!
Excellent professional operation. Thanks very much.
thanks!
Nice and thorough video! Much appreciated!
This is a great video but I don't dare to take mine apart for fear of never being able to put it back together again. I have only just learnt how to clean the top filter. I don't know why these vacuums can't be more user friendly for cleaning.
Brilliant video....just done this for the first time.....easy to follow. Thank you very much
Thanks for this, we were on the verge of replacing ours!!! now theres no need.
Very helpful and clear instructions. Much appreciated. Thank you
Thankyou for making this video. mine was clogged and battery would not last.
you're welcome!
Thank you brother man! Just followed your vid and cleaned ours from top t bottom, great information. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
BEST VIDEO of ALL!!! 😍❤❤❤
Thanks! ☺️
Dysons unfortunately always suffer from poor designs like this, my much 'much' cheaper handheld VAX is designed so that it can be easily disassembled to completely clean it rather than it being limited to just filter cleaning for the average user. Superb tutorial though, was a great help in fully cleaning out my grandparents V6.
Thank you, best vid out there. Great step by step.
you're welcome! And thank you for the compliment!
Every day is a school day, thank you.
Thanks a lot for this video! Really helpful and well explained!
Hello! This was a very useful video. However my Dyson V6 absolute keeps pulsating when attaching the post filter after cleaning. It does not pulsate when filter is unattached. I already cleaned it completely. Any thoughts? Thanks!
There is a clog somewhere. Likely it's in the intake of the cleanerhead. Hope this helps!
Great video. It made me wonder however, how long will these devices work decently without sophisticated operations like this. Moreover, you are skilled and experienced, but with that, wouldn't you easily damage one of the parts. I have a V8 which works fine, but I realize my old traditional big wired monster is in a way solid as a rock. Works great without taking apart and cleaning (apart from easily replacable filters) for almost thirty years by now. I wonder how many Dysons (double the price) I'd need for that time span.
Weve owned the V6 for 5 years and this is its first clean, i take your point but would say its so convenient to use the handheld when it does such a brilliant job
@@kevgraham1525 Thank you for your reply. I have a V8 for over a year now. The six years is reassuring. Where I wrote "with these skills" I meant of course "without these skills". 🙂
What a great and clear video BRO.......fantastic
thank you sir!
I have this saved now. This is unreal! Thanks a heap!
Glad it helped!
Thank you very much for making this
vid.
Great job. Very thorough
fantastic video , very easy to follow. I stripped down my V6, it was filthy. However my dyson still will not work. I get a solid blue light on dyson when i pull trigger but the motor does not run, battery has had a full charge
I didn’t realise the dust box had wiring and did clean it with water before it failed so I presume that is the issue.
My question is do you think if I replace the dust box will that fix my issue or is it the battery or charger or have i completely wrecked it and need to go shopping.
Once again thank you for a great video
Very detailed. Thank you very much
Yep this one was the best! Thank you!!!!
Great video. Thanks for creating it.
After I remove the clear plastic dust bin, I got in the habit of gently tapping the bottom (purple) snoot down onto a countertop (with paper towel). That seems to dislodge a huge amount of small particles. I almost never have to wash the filter as a result. I also suspect you could clean the unit effectively without disassembly by back-flowing using a compressed source of air. Do this outside!
I use my air compressor with a small diameter pistol grip and am constantly amazed with the amount of very, very fine dust that blows out.
Very well and clearly presented..
Very nice i don't think i can do that too many detail
dyson NO.1
VERY well done. Thank you.
Great video! thank you!
Very good thanks helped me alot
Thank you for this video. It helped me out a lot!
You're welcome!
Good video mate - very well explained indeed. Nice work and gave me an excuse to by some new tools...
Thank you I saved this for future use . Great informative video ....
Excellent video. Thanks!
Well demonstrated thank you
thank you!
Very helpful
Great video and tips, thank you!
I used a coin to release the clips on the purple cloth filter you can wash.
mám ho doma, předraženej krám....tohle čištění je asi super.. to ho raději vyhodím....
Great video thanks for your help
Now they have a new model number 12 wonder why, by just looking at this vidio i hope the newer model is a lot less trouble to clean all thin plastic and easy to break.
Thanks for the comments! I'm glad that this has been helpful to people! I was hesitant to post this at first. Since this is what I do for a living, I would most definitely appreciate anyone who chips in if they feel the content is valuable to them. The risk in me posting this-- at least in my mind --is that potential customers that might otherwise hire me would see this and do it themselves so there is a chance that this takes away from me being able to provide for my family. Paypal email is in the description
For those wondering about the separator tool you can find them pretty easily on amazon or ebay.
Im in UK so that would be an expensive repair!!! lol, paypal'd you a modest fee.
Thank you sir! Much appreciated!
@@richardsvacuumcenter honestly think most owners wont even bother to look this video up. Only the truly savvy, capable will attempt this. From your video these vacuums look very complicated. I just purchase a Dyson V10 for my wife at Christmas. It would be very valuable to me to know how to clean it properly. I use to clean our older Dyson Animal Ball "something" about once a year.
