Dyson V11 Torque Drive motorhead (970100-05) SV14
The high torque floor head supplied with the Dyson V11 Absolute and Torque Drive. It reads the resistance on the brush bar and tells the V11 to raise suction on carpet and save battery on hard floors.
Signs your V11 floor head needs replacing
- The V11 screen shows a blockage or brush bar error
- The brush bar stops on carpet or will not start at all
- Suction no longer changes between carpet and hard floor
- A burning smell or loud whine from the head
Because this head talks to the V11, a fault in it often shows up as a warning on the LCD screen – check the brush bar is free of hair first, then replace the head if the error stays.

Fitting your new cleaner head
No tools needed for most machines: press the release button on the wand, pull the old head off, and push the 970100-05 on until it clicks. Before fitting, clear any hair or debris from the end of the wand so the electrical contacts make a good connection.
