The Dyson Vacuum in this house has stopped working. The Dyson Vacuum that belongs to the landlord, I feel the need to add.
I’m sitting here worried that I’ve broken an $800 vacuum.
I’ve read the support center of the Dyson website. I’ve watched at least a dozen YouTube videos of people explaining how to fix it. I’ve taken it apart and put it back together. It’s still not working.
I feel so defeated when it comes to things like this. I just cannot fix it. I don’t know how. Despite trying to tell myself that I can do anything I put my mind to, I really cannot.
I’m aware this is a first world problem. I guess life is good if all I’m worried about is a stupid vacuum.
That sucks.

I’m laughing, but not at you! I’m just enjoying knowing that how you feel right now is probably very similar to how I feel whenever I read you blogs about SEO. 🤓

If you fix the vacuum I’ll do your SEO.

Sometimes they just stop working. Like phones and old outdated iPods. They just croak like anything else mechanical, my dear. I bet that landlord can afford to replace it.

He can. I’m just scared to tell him.

I figured you might be anxious. It’s a lot bigger in your mind than how he would react. Maybe you should summon a chip on your shoulder and view it as you’re paying rent and he needs to get you a working vacuum. That’s how I might approach my anxiety in that situation. But then, it’s less challenging for me because I can often be an angry and entitled type, so there’s not much to summon over here. I just hope you feel better soon.

Technically speaking he’s not supposed to provide a vacuum. He just left it here because he moved in with his girlfriend and she already had one. Also, technically, I did something stupid and am the specific reason it’s broken. Ohhhhhhhhh, I’ll tell him eventually. I just need to work up the nerve.

Whenever mine stops it’s because the battery needs replacing. If it’s in warranty they send it for free!

Oh! That’s assuming I’ve checked every nook and cranny for blockages. You should be able to tell from how it behaves you when you plug it in… for example, whether the blue light flash or just doesn’t come on at all, etc.

The brush wand actually stopped working. So, when I flipped it upside down to look, it was filled with hair. Pet hair. Human hair. Which makes sense because I have super long hair and I’ve had a dog here on and off the past few months. Anyways, I took it apart to clean out the brush wand like the Dyson website said, and when I put it back together it didn’t work.
Uh oh.

When it’s on the charger unit, does a light come on?

I fixed our Dyson, though it’s probably a different model to yours. In the wheel/ball thing, a cable had broken somehow. I simply twisted it back together and popped some electrical tape over the exposed wire. Sorted.

Yeah it’s the brushwand in mine that has stopped spinning. I’m not really sure how to fix it because the Dyson website suggestions haven’t worked.

I read that first sentence and was like “WOMAN! How are you vacuuming with something that costs rent?! My vacuum is the same age as Apollo 13.”
….but even that belongs to my mother. 😂

HAHA. I definitely didn’t buy a Dyson. I think even if I could afford a Dyson I probably wouldn’t buy one. I’d buy something cheaper and use that remainder of the money on something cool. The landlord, on the other hand, has very expensive taste.
