Dyson V6 Cord-Free Cyclone Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

If your Dyson V6 Cord-Free vacuum’s cyclone/motor is damaged or weak and unable to operate, utilize this guide to replace the cyclone/motor.

The cyclone/motor is the main component that allows the vacuum to operate and suck up dirt and debris as intended with speed and efficiency. Using this guide will showcase how to replace the old/damaged cyclone with a spare or new replacement.

Note that if all tools and procedures are used/followed properly, you should not have to use any excessive force. If things seem stuck and you are getting frustrated, be patient and check that you are using the tool correctly during disassembly and have everything properly aligned during reassembly. Good luck!

      • The light can stay on if you unplug the power adapter from the wall but the plug is still connected to the Dyson.
