Hey Justin · I was having the exact same problem. I had it torn down to the point that you have it and was also confused as to why I was getting no voltage to the points that go to the power head. I even had an argument with the Dyson service tech over the phone, I was getting to the point where I was about to do my own soldering on the board to just put direct power from the battery to the power head brush….before I did this I decided to double check what the Dyson service guy told me, I cleaned up all the contacts with contact cleaner, even gave them a little brush with a piece of emery cloth. I did notice that the two contact points from the main motor body to the clear bin were pushed in a little so I slightly bent them out more so it would make a more solid contact. Low and behold it worked, the brush started spinning again. I feel really sheepish since the Dyson guy told me 9/10 times this was the problem but I refused to believe him since I was getting no voltage at those two points, anyways give it a try.

V6 from 2018, should I keep and fix?
Dyson tech here, if you put in a new battery you should receive a 1/2 year warranty iirc. And that battery will last you easily 5-7 years. Not much else tends to go wrong with them as long as you use the proper care, don't put in a damp filter. Those V6s were well made, the v11s+ are built complicated with much more issues.

New V6 accessory won’t fit what I believe to be a V6 Dyson. Can anyone tell if they are different models and if so what they are? I bought both items second hand but I am fairly sure both are V6. Very confused 😂

Ok had exactly this issue and it does appear that Dyson engineered the solution to prevent high current drain with stuck motors. Took mine apart and occasionally got some power to the brush head but normally no power at all. Maybe a dry joint on the PCB? I have no idea. · So I did a brutal hack. Turns out the +ve power is connected from the battery input to the power tap off whatever happens - but ground is switched. · From the photo, ground/-ve is the white wire. Handily right next to the feed from the battery. I dropped a big blob of solder across the wires, so now the accessories get the full blast from the battery when you press the trigger. · I really don’t recommend this fix, but it was (to me) preferable to giving Mr Dyson a few more £’s for his poorly made devices. · The V6 now powers the accessories “like new” and I’m not surprised. I think the motors are rated at 18v and now they are getting the full 22v juice from the battery pack!

r/dyson on Reddit: V6 from 2018, should I keep and fix?
November 5, 2024 -

I recently bought a new V8 as my main vacuum, however I still have a V6 from 2018 which was my former regular vacuum.

It’s starting to show its wear and tear, and the battery is getting ready to be replaced as it’s the original and only lasts about 30 seconds to a minute at best when I put it in Max mode.

I am wondering if it’s actually worth replacing the battery (and a few other components, like the motorhead brush and maybe buying a soft floor roller brush if I can find one) cost wise at this point.

I only intend on using this one as a secondary vacuum for my home office. I am interested in the Amazon batteries but I’ve heard they are not worth the price drop, but the official ones are almost $150 Canadian dollars.

At this point, would it be more worthwhile to get a new secondary vacuum or invest in parts replacement and try to get some more years out of it?
