How to Unblock a Dyson Vacuum Cleaner: Complete Steps

One main issue experienced by many Dyson vacuum cleaner owners is a block vacuum. If something is stuck inside the vacuum cleaner’s hose, it will have trouble picking up dirt and grime. Never allow the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner to dwindle; here is how you can eliminate the obstruction. 

How to Unblock a Dyson Vacuum Cleaner 

Unblocking a Dyson vacuum cleaner is easy and simple to do. All you have to do is to follow the steps before.

• Turn off your vacuum cleaner. 
• First, you need to check the canister. You also need to check the vacuum cleaner base, as this is where the blocking takes place. You also need to check the hose. 
• To check if there is a blocking in the hose, you need to remove it from the wand. The blocking can happen on the top of the other side of the hose.  It is easy to detach the hose, and you will see a red button at the base of the wand; just push it and pull up the hose, and that‘s it. 
• If you see some blocking, just remove it using a long stick, and ensure no dirt or grime is left behind prior to returning the hose. 
• There can also be a blockage on the part where the wand and the hose are connected, so check this out. 
• The last thing that you need to check is the small red hole at the base of the Dyson vacuum cleaner. Just pull it out to know if there is some debris inside. Pull them out using your hand, or you can use a stick to eliminate them totally. Make sure to slide this part into the base. 
• And last but not least, check the cleaner head. Blockage can also happen in this part. Just push the tab down to open the cleaner head and then eliminate the debris. Just slide it back to click into place.
