Quick answer: Debris—likely fine dust or sticky residue—has become trapped inside the trigger mechanism, preventing the spring from returning it to the off position.

Diagnosis

Debris—likely fine dust or sticky residue—has become trapped inside the trigger mechanism, preventing the spring from returning it to the off position.

How to Fix It

One: Remove the battery to ensure the vacuum is completely off. Two: Hold the vacuum over a trash can. Three: Repeatedly press and release the trigger while using a can of compressed air to blow into the gaps around the trigger button. This can dislodge the debris.

If That Didn't Work

A more thorough clean is required. This involves disassembly of the main body. As this is complex and may void warranty, contact Dyson Support for guidance or a possible repair.

Heads Up

Do not use liquid cleaners or lubricants on the trigger. This will attract more dust and can cause electrical damage. Use dry cleaning methods only.
