Difficulty

Easy

Steps

Time Required

3 minutes

Introduction

Require battery removal, which is not included due to device not having a battery. Connection tubing will need to be removed before motor replacement.

Tools

Tweezers

Step 1

Pull down on the red release tab.
When the tab is fully engaged, the bottom of the bin should open.

Step 2

Pull down on the release tab a second time, this time the collection bin should release from the upper vacuum head.

Step 3

Pull the collection bin away from the upper vacuum head.

Step 4

Identify the two white components between the vacuum handle and the attached component.

No such white tabs for my Dyson V6? where are these located?

Step 5

Insert each arm of the tweezer into each white component area and squeeze simultaneously to release the motor from the attached component.

THis step is not easy! Squeezing the white parts together does release that side of the motor but the other side just will not come out!!

Conclusion

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

I am terrible at fixing things and this helped me put my vacuum back together after it fell and the motor detached from the handle. Thank you!!!

Can't see the tweezer being inserted into the white tabs. Picture not clear. Could not dislodge motorhead from cannister bin. Show a clearer picture. Thanks
