Dyson Cyclone Canister Replacement Clip (main body)

Dyson Cyclone Canister Replacement Clip (main body)

This replacement retaining clip/release is for the canister to main motor body of the Dyson DC35 handheld vacuum. It may work on other models, but this is the only one I can test with. A flange on my original had snapped, and I was able to take measurements from it and use the existing spring. If this happened to you, you know that the vacuum is useless without it.

Installation was a little tricky, but place the spring into this clip which will align with the + on the canister mount. Then position one of the clip flanges into the corner receiving hole while the clip is rotated at an angle. While pressingly down firmly, rotate the clip back into the straight position so that the other flange slides forward and clicks into place. Give the clip a few presses to make sure the spring is operating properly, then attach the canister to the motor body as usual.

UPDATE from the comments: it appears this clip was used on all of the following models: DC30, DC31, DC34, DC35, DC44, DC45, DC56, DC57
