Here is a link to the manual for the DC01 - all instructions are there including removing a blockage. I follow this procedure and my machine has been serving me well for many years.

Is the block in the 'wand'?
If so try dropping a coin down it - possibly.
There should be a help-line number on your dyson - try phoning them up if you can't get it shifted.0 -
Lay the dyson down and use a hooked piece of wire to the side of the suction channel. Pull out the fluff etc.This is an open forum, anyone can post and I just did !0

The advice I give on here is based on my many years in the preservation industry. I choose to remain anonymous, I have no desire to get work from anyone. No one can give 100% accurate advice on a forum if I get it wrong you'll get a sincere apology and that's all:D

Any advice for me,I have a dyson like this that sucks great from the hose but is rubbish when upright.
I can't find a blockage anywhere could it be a part problem.
Thanks.0 -
Removed the screws from the bottom and looked behind the pick up roller?0

Dyson used to have a very good falult diagnosis website - I don't know if they still do, but I used it successfully a few years back when our Dyson wouldn't work properly (& I am not very technically-minded).2025's challenges: 1) To fill our 10 Savings Pots to their healthiest level ever
2) To read 100 books (24/100)

Does the roller spin okay when its on?
With the DC01, the whole thing practically comes apart. Have you had the rolelr out and checked that it's all clear around it?"One day I realised that when you are lying in your grave, it's no good saying, "I was too shy, too frightened."
Because by then you've blown your chances. That's it."0
