Thanks from a 70 year old non-mechanical female with no torque wrench. I followed this tutorial a few months ago and found that my switch had simply come undone and I reinserted it but couldn’t attach orange thing back cause switch kept slipping loose. I taped it up around switch so I wouldn’t get electrocuted when turning on. Has worked fine til now, and I suppose my switch has finally failed, so I’m ordering new one. This Dyson was a refurbished one I got fairly cheap (for a Dyson) 12 years ago! SO, THANKS MUCH!!

Brilliant and saved me over £100 which is the cost of a Dyson engineer to attend plus switch. Name a charity.
