Author Topic: Dyson DC14 Animal, Roller Brush Bar will not turn, belt is in-tact (Read 46474 times)

Hello,

Thank you for reading my post and offering help. I have tried a search but couldn't find my issue. I am a novice at vacuum repair, but I've changed a few belts and I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. I would rather fix this vacuum than replace it.

I have a Dyson DC14 Animal Vacuum.
It will power on
The vacuum will suck in air
The roller/brush bar will not turn
The belt on the roller/brush bar is in good condition

How do I diagnose and fix this?

Start here: The Brush Roll Won’t Turn – Dyson DC04, Dyson DC07 and Dyson DC14 and see if that is the cause.

Thank you Angus,
That was exactly what was wrong. Turns out I was an idiot and it was fine the whole time! I just didn't know about the clutch! I feel kind of silly, but I'm really glad my dyson is working again!
