My Dyson DC04 vacuum cleaner (3 yrs old) has a loose connection at the switch. (Moving the cable where it enters the housing gives intermittent operation.)
I nearly blew a gasket myself on calling the UK Dyson HelpLine. I was told "We cannot tell you how to get access...health/safety...have to book our engineer ... 49 UKP (78 USD)" Plus VAT presumably. I'm darned if I'm going to fork out £50 for tightening a connection ;-(
So, can someone please tell me how to get access to the switch please? I've shown a picture here.
I'm guessing I have to insert a blade or screwdriver somewhere, but I'm nervous about applying any force until I hear from someone with experience please. There appear to be no possibilities apart from
- removing the yellow switch
- removing that small section surrounded by a 'seam' that I've shown
