Oh my lord what a mess. Sam has all the patience of the world with this. I have changed a lot of motors for vacuums, but this hurts my brain even watching all the work needed with this one. Excellent job again 👍
I do enjoy these motor replacement videos Sam - its always an education to watch and really enjoyable - probably less so for you when making the video!but keep them coming sam - im sure youll get an oscar for all this one day - for services rendered to the vacuum cleaner!!!!
Thanks for the video which is both enjoyable and instructional. I just completed this project on my DC50 which was screaming loud. A few problems: - I over-torqued a couple of screws - the most delicate one seems to be the first/last one in the video - BE CAREFUL!!! - I had the wrong replacement motor - mine has a Panasonic SDS853MZDH which does not have the external brushes shown in your video. So I got the compressed airline, gave the old one a thorough clear out and put in back in 😡No Idea how you are supposed to know this before you start. My DC50 has S/N HR6-UK-GCA0099A - I had a bit of trouble re-routing the brush motor wires - you clearly show and state the wires need to go into their slots at 14:12 in the video - but I was putting them in the slots on the bit you clip on rather than the slots in the main body - Re the wiring you pulled through the hole at 7:20 - I left the grommet in and pulled the wires through the holes in the grommet which seemed fine - Finally, when you reassemble the suction ducts, the small one slots into the big one - if you don't do this you can't get the PCB cover screws bacak in Other than that a pretty straighforward job and thanks again for a great video
DC24’s are way more simple. Just remove the ball shell, wiring housing, a few screws holding the housing in, undo the housing, undo some wires and bam the motor of the DC24 is out
They sure are! But equally I remember them being really very scary the first time... Still use a screw card now as it saves having to learn the screw lengths 😂 Got to learn and keep up if you wanna make side-dosh sadly
I did one of these for my daughter and fitted a replacement motor. A bit of a nightmare job really with all the fiddly bits dyson design into these ball vaccum cleaners. I will never do another one, of that you can be sure.
Help!! Just replaced my brush motor on my DC 50, and the tube is just so stiff it isn't moving. Also, there's a bunch of excess wiring I can't figure out where to tuck! Is it BOTH motors? Note: I am sure the brush motor is shot because the plastic is smoked. I put it in water without knowing there was a motor in the brush.
Great job, the screw card is a brilliant idea. Love the energy in the presentation

Yup, got to take a deep breath and dive in! I used my own rebuild pics as a reference a few times too!

Ha thanks! Done a few now so it's a bit familiar, must be bloody terrifying for a first timer 🤣

It's all very tight isn't it! The dc40 (mk2) and up22 are nicer to do... Very similar but everything's bigger 🤣
How on Earth did they even begin to design this ffs? Imagine being on the assembly line in the factory! Give me an 04 or 07 any day.
In record time too Samuel. Good one as always. How's the Asthma these days ?

this video was a god send! many thanks
Rather you than me bab! One of my most hated jobs - I rarely do them these days; I don't have the patience anymore!
It's not pleasant. But it brings the money in 👌
90db so this is the loudest dyson
Wow that does seem loud! Their screamers for sure, much prefer the later small ball
😀
this is very loud
All hail the Dreadful Dysons, that keep vacuum repairers in business fixing over priced (when purchased originally) cheap tat!
First!!
