Why does the brush bar turn on when vacuuming hard flooring?

I only have hard flooring so rarely need the brush bar turned on. I'll be vacuuming the floor and suddenly the brush bar is on. It can happen a couple of times while vacuuming or 10+ times.

Hi,

Where is the position of the brush bar control lever when this happens?

Hi,

It seems as though you may have a faulty clutch mechanism.

Here is a video that shows how to access the clutch mechanism in your vacuum cleaner.

Just search on Ebay for Dyson DC14 clutch assembly to find suppliers of the part
