Why does my Dyson stop working every 3-5 seconds

"There is a tab on the filter that wears down and stops it from running for more than a few seconds. Here's a video on how to check for that issue:

Had the same problem. Charged fine and then stopped after 10 seconds. This isn’t a filter issue, it means the battery is dead. Bought a replacement on eBay for $45, good as new

I have a similar problem. When I pull the trigger, it continues to work but the brush head stops after a second. I’ve cleaned it thoroughly and it’s completely charged. One thing to point out is that when I remove the brush head and pull the trigger, it continues to spin without a problem. I just can’t figure out why it won’t continue to roll with the brush head on. FYI- I’m not talking about taking the head attachment off. I’m talking about tanking the brush roll off itself leaving the mechanical parts of the brush head attachment assembled.

"Solved this 3 years ago with a new battery and I’ve ordered another. I’ll clean the octopus legs just in case but sure it’s the battery.

Ive no complaints with 2 to 3 years Per battery, just wish Dyson let people know. The on - off quick cycles are confusing and I’m sure many have ditched their Dysons in frustration.

i fix it when my wife says it’s broken. Doesn’t slow down like battery power tools.

My wife loves the vacuum."
