Thanks for this video! You probably just saved me 70 bucks to get it "tuned up". :)

THANK YOU!!! I fixed my dyson by your video. That noise was horrendous, and I was regretting buying the vaccum, just because i felt I wasted the money! However, you helped renewed my faith back in my dyson, and im SOOOOOO EXCITED I didn't loose all that money! THANKS AGAIN!

You made fixing the dyson so EASY! I have the same problem with that horid noise. I had already cleaned out the hair on the bottom but did not remove the rubbery thing to clean that area. Maybe thats why the noise is still there. Will try that next! Thanks so much!

Why not just buy a vacuum that actually works. The Simplicity tandem air series will outclean any vacuum ever made and they are made in America. Dyson is nothing but a con man. He is the one that had the first bagless, The Fantom. The company went belly up because all the machines were returned and broke down. Simplicity comes with a lifetime guaranteed belt and will take everything out of your rugs including cleaning the floor underneath. Good old American ingenuity.

My gear clogs up w/ dog hair too and Dyson told me to get a new belt, but like you, I dont think that will solve the problem. I do spray my carpet w/ static guard to release the static and it helps reduce the number of times I have to clean the gear out... and sometimes Fresh'N Clean® Odor Plus Hair & Allergen Remover Carpet Foam to release static and smells way better than static guard.- though is hard to find, the upholstery spray is easier to find, and I use that on the carpet too

Not sure what tube you are referring to. Making a guess that it is the clear accordion hose (2:49 on video) you see underneath on the floor side of the vacuum. It just press fits back onto the hole next to the wheel. Clean both sides well to remove dust, or it may fall off again.

@thesugarfamily Maybe if you didn't compose your sentences like a retard someone would be willing to help you.

Sorry JONES, don't know what to say. My vac has no tensioner that I'm aware of. Belt tension is set by the fixed distance between the bar and drive gear. Don't forget your 5 year warranty? (in the US anyway)

My DC17 was making terrible noises. I took the beater bar out and noticed a belt tensioner had come out. It's a round cylinder that snaps in near the small belt pulley. I put it back in and the noise is gone, but unfortunately it came out again. I think the mount for this part is worn. Any ideas. My feeling is this is going to have to be taken in for service.

I didn't see this belt tensioner in your vacuum thouhg. ???
