While the Dyson DC24 is a robust vacuum cleaner, you might encounter some common issues. Here’s a guide to troubleshooting some common problems⁚

No Power⁚ If the vacuum cleaner doesn’t turn on, first check if the power cord is plugged in securely. If it is, ensure the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. If the problem persists, it could be a faulty power cord or internal electrical issue, requiring professional assistance.

Reduced Suction⁚ Poor suction can be caused by a blocked dust bin, dirty filters, or a clogged brush bar. Empty the dust bin, clean the filters, and check the brush bar for obstructions. If the issue continues, inspect the hose for any blockages.

Brush Bar Not Rotating⁚ A jammed brush bar can prevent it from rotating. Check for hair, string, or other debris that may be tangled around the bar. Remove any obstructions. If the brush bar still doesn’t rotate, it might require repair or replacement.

Loud Noises⁚ Unusual noises from the vacuum cleaner can indicate a problem with the motor, wheels, or brush bar. Inspect the motor area for loose parts or obstructions. Lubricate the wheels if they are stiff or noisy.

Vacuum Cleaner Won’t Move⁚ If the vacuum cleaner won’t move, check if the wheels are jammed or obstructed by debris. If the wheels are clean, examine the vacuum cleaner’s base for any issues.
