Chosen Solution
This vacuum has a clean filter, clean brush, clear canister, charged battery. No matter what I do, it only works for about ten seconds before it shuts off, then I can start it again, but the cycle continues with it stalling, and stalling.
A clogged filter will cause this. I know you said it was clean but they can be clogged and still look clean on the outside. Try washing it under running water the let it completely dry overnight. it can be due to a battery of the cleaner. Make sure that the power cable is properly plug to the power and seated properly from the unit while charging. If you find that the battery isn’t charging at all, you may need to replace the battery. Second is to check the MAX button of your cleaner. If the button lights up and flashes when your Dyson keeps on pulsating, press and hold the power button and depress the MAX button to turn off the function. You may need to do it for a few times to get the hang of it.
And I will probably need a new battery, per Ross. thanks so much!
I have had exactly the same, turns off after 5 seconds but only on high power setting… have new battery and all filters clean, I think it is the temperature sensor inside on the motor… however a fix for me is to cup the output vents in your hand tightly, often just one side of the vent slits is enough, turn on and with a little experiment it should keep running, after about 15 seconds you can remove your cupped hand… I believe it re directs cooler air to the sensor, mine then runs fine for about 20 mins. This is for a DC35 but any similar model should be pretty much the same… hopefully eventually of doing this it will start to be OK by itself… let you know.
