Default Odd Dyson fault

We have a handheld rechargeable Dyson that mostly works very well.
Recently it has started to seem like its battery is dying.

It lives on its charger under the stairs all the time but it’s started to
“die” after just 10-15 seconds of use and displays a flashing blue “low
battery” indicator. The thing is, if I put it back on charge for just 5
seconds it comes back to life and I can get many minutes of use out off it
before the battery really runs low.

Anyone else come across this?

Mine keeps stopping and starting. I assumed it was an obstruction but
I cannot see any. I cleaned the filter recently. It only seems to
happen on the high power setting. Any ideas.


There will be an obstruction somewhere if its pulsing regularly on and
off. Check the rubber flap at the base of the main tool socket. Its
designed to stop dirt falling out of the canister when you hang it up but
is prone to blockages. If its not that, check your filters.
