Introduction

If your Dyson motor is no longer functioning correctly, grab a pair of long tweezers and check out this guide to replace the main body,

Tools

Tweezers

Step 1

Make sure your vacuum is unplugged.
Avoid pressing the red trigger on the vacuum handle; this will power on the vacuum.

Step 2

Locate the red lever parallel to the red trigger and on the side of the clear bin.

Step 3

Push the red lever downward to open the clear bin. You may need to do this over a trash bin if there is debris in the clear bin.

Step 4

Push the red lever downward again while pulling the clear bin away from the main body of the Dyson vacuum.

Step 5

Flip the vacuum over so that the silver cyclone part of the vacuum is now at the base.

Step 6

Locate the two visible white clips seen between the main body and the purple cyclone of the vacuum.
Use tweezers to pinch the two visible white clips together.
It may require a few tries to pinch the clips since the space between the main body and cyclone is small.

Step 7

Tilt and pull the main body away from the purple cyclone of the vacuum.
You may hear a loud snap when the cyclone is released from the main body, this is to be expected.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Mine ended up dismantled after it had been dropped. Couldn't get it back together until I read the bit about the tweezers /(pliers) and the white clips. It does not push in with out squeezing them first

Has anyone replaced the red release catch?

The white C-ring with clips must be pushed down in order to reassemble device. Takes some time to practice.
