It could be one of the switches, the brush bar motor, or a loose wire or connection.

Hi Francis, it's Jack at Dyson.

DC50's brushes should always rotate when the machine is plugged in, switched on, and reclined into the normal vacuuming position. They're engineered to run when cleaning carpets or hard floors, but you do also have the option of switching them off to protect delicate rugs.

If your DC50's brush bar won't rotate, check the cleaner head for any obstructions, and remove any threads or hair from the brush bar before resetting it as shown in our video guide:


This should resolve the issue, but if you'd like further assistance from Dyson once you've given this a try, just give the Dyson customer Helpline a call on 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), 1-877-397-6622 (CA) or 1800 239 766 (AU). If a repair or replacement part is needed, we can also confirm if this is covered under your Dyson warranty.

Hi John, it's Jack at Dyson.

I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulty with your DC50's motorised brush bar. Usually, following the steps shown in our Support video will reset the machine and get the brush bar working again.

However, if you've already removed any threads and hair and checked for obstructions without successfully resolving the issue, I would encourage you to contact us directly for further assistance. If a repair or replacement part is needed, we can also confirm if your machine is within the Dyson guarantee period.

When you have your DC50 easily to hand, please give the Dyson Customer Helpline a call on 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), 1-877-397-6622 (CA) or 1800 239 766 (AU).

We'll look forward to speaking with you - I'm sure we can help resolve this.

Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson.

DC50's brush bar comes as a complete assembly. The soft black anti-static carbon fibre filaments aren't available as individual components.

However if the carbon fibre filaments on your DC50's brush bar are worn or damaged in some way, we may be able to help. If you can email a clear picture of the issue to me directly at [email protected], I'll be in touch as soon as possible to provide further assistance. If you can also include your full home address and post code, as well as your contact phone number and the date on which you purchased your machine, that would be very helpful to us.

I'll look forward to hearing from you.

many things can make it smell bad wash filter top and lower in hot soapy water and rise well and dry well in sun
wash bin and all it's parts in hot soapy water and dry well
clean brush roll and check for any bad smells in head
could be from motor over heating or near to failing if above does not get rid of smell i would say it's the motor

Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson.
From what you've described in your question, it sounds very likely that you have a blockage somewhere between the cleaner head and the bin. Please follow the steps shown in the video above to locate any obstructions from the cleaner head, and to remove any threads or hair from around the brush bar.
Once you've done this, it's also a good idea to follow the steps shown in our online Support guide for help locating blockages in the internal hose:
