    There are also two screws ( one of which can been seen on the photo and another a few inches below ) that need to be removed BEFORE pushing outward on the plastic tabs.

    • Holding them by their white plastic coverings, firmly pull the two wires from the power switch.

    • Be sure to grip the wires from their attached connectors. Pulling directly on the wires could damage your vacuum.

    • The terminals will only fit one way during reassembly. Only one of the wires is long enough to reach the far terminal of the switch.

    I can’t unplug the old starter. It seems stuck. What am I doing wrong?

The comment I listed below is not mine. I copied it from a Mr. Tim Swift who wrote it on 06/28/2015. Had I not have seen his comment, I would have said the exact same thing.

I have only one other thing to say......AWESOME!!

I replaced my power switch. Easy! $15 part!

Thanks from a 70 year old non-mechanical female with no torque wrench. I followed this tutorial a few months ago and found that my switch had simply come undone and I reinserted it but couldn't attach orange thing back cause switch kept slipping loose. I taped it up around switch so I wouldn't get electrocuted when turning on. Has worked fine til now, and I suppose my switch has finally failed, so I'm ordering new one. This Dyson was a refurbished one I got fairly cheap (for a Dyson) 12 years ago! SO, THANKS MUCH!!

Brilliant and saved me over £100 which is the cost of a Dyson engineer to attend plus switch. Name a charity.

Tariq Rafique - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

This worked for me!!! Simply followed instructions and cleaned the switch by blowing air through it, re-installed it and hey presto!!!!

A massive

THANK YOU

Hello, I have replaced my switches and when I tried to put it back together, the brushbar reset arm fell out. I can't figure out how it goes back in! Please help!

Thank you! My vacuum wouldn’t turn off unless unplugged. $5 part and following this guide and it works again!
