How to properly clean a Dyson DC59 head and fix one that's not rotating (V6 and V7 too)
1,612The Dyson DC59, V6, V7, or V8 vacuum head has a design flaw that means every few months you have to clean it out thoroughly or the vacuum will stop working altogether. This applies mainly to the DC59 Animal (http://amzn.to/1WziSBt) and the DC59 Motorhead (which was used in this video).
To do this procedure I'd recommend you use a wire coat hanger, a large coat or screwdriver, and then some cleaning supplies, since there will be a lot of dust.
This cleaning process will improve performance on vacuums when done regularly but will also revive what appears to be a broken DC59. Or if the vacuum turns on, but the beater bar/tube won't turn, which will probably fix that as well. These vacuum heads range from $60-$200 (http://amzn.to/24ir4f0) so it's definitely worth taking care of them!
The Dyson V6 (http://amzn.to/1WziTFo) is a newer model and does not suffer from this problem, but it's a good lesson to learn because any collection of dust or fluff in the vacuum's head will decrease cleaning power.
