Great video. I decided to buy a DC14 with a blown motor and have ordered a new motor to fit to it. This video will be handy to remind myself on how to do it once I have the motor. I have never changed a motor before but I feel confident enough to do it now
Thankyou so much for this video. It just helped me replace the clutch in my wifes Dyson Animal. First replacement since we bought it about 30 years ago.... amazing!
This is a great simple explanation of what to do. I took my DC14 apart yesterday evening and ordered the new parts - good tip with the clutch change out too, I've gone for that. Cheers!
I now have a working Dyson DC14! The grease on the outside of the the rubber motor seal, and the foot on the base to make enough space under the belt to the get the beater in are both very good tips. I couldn't get the other belt over the motor drive, my fingers are just not strong enough, so I used a 90 degree screw driver to do the job and make sure I didn't damage the belt in the process. Thanks again Parwaz.
Thank you, I now know how to replace the motor on my DC07 animal. I think it is the brushes that have worn out as it's 21yrs old now. Good tip about getting a new clutch as it is a bit fiddly to replace the drive belts, and not that much more £'s for the time and effort saved.
Well presented and described. You even edited out the swearing, the threats to throw the stupidly designed lump across the room and the really fiddly bits. But you helped a lot. I did a DC04 a few years ago and it was simple compared to this. Why does Dyson not design for easy maintenance. I mean, who in their right mind, designs a motor, which does not have replaceable brushes. As a design engineer, I always used to look at how easy it was going to fix. Today’s disposable society I suppose.
I'm glad it helped you! Haha I've done so many of these it was an absolute doddle to do. I don't think it's much harder than a DC04 motor change, the 04 has more screws too. The newer Dysons are way more complex and take much longer to change the motor
I have a DC07, but it has one of the lugs at the back where the wand sits broken. It's only one though. Is it ok to use it should I replace the chassis?
Would glueing the motor suction duct( the one that connects the motor to the chassis) without the seal be fine? The seal has perished and I can't seem to find any good ones.
HELP PLEASE! Best tutorial video I’ve seen. My dc14 wouldn’t start, no power. I changed the switch, didn’t work. So, I put in a new motor with your video help. Still won’t start! Going to replace the plug on the cord. The internal wiring looks fine, so I’m not sure what’s up!? Won’t power on…any suggestions? Thanks Jim
Hi! If you've replaced the switch and motor and you're absolutely sure that the wires are certainly connected firmly then it narrows it down to the power cord, it can be hard to find out where exactly they're broken due to the copper wires being internally damaged due to all the stress it receives from years of flexing Also if your plug has a fuse (UK) Check that it isn't blown
EXCELLENT VIDEO. I NEED TO REPLACE THE MOTOR IN MY DYSON DCO7 ORIGIN. PROBLEM IS WHICH ONE IS THE BEST AND MOST RELIABLE? APPARENTLY THE MOTORS MADE IN CHINA ARE NOT VERY GOOD QUALITY.
@@parwaz7861 THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE. DIFFICULTY IS THERE ARE SO MANY ON EBAY USING THE LETTERING MTR299 AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW WHICH IS A TRUSTED AND GENUINE SUPPLIER/SOURCE? THEY ALSO HAVE THE LETTERS YDK AND THEY GET GOOD REVIEWS? IS IT WISE TO AVOID THE MOTORS THAT HAVE TOC? APPARENTLY IT IS BEST TO ONLY GO FOR MANUAL RESET AND START? APPRECIATE YOU HELP WITH THANKS.
Hi, I just tried to remove the deep screw requiring the long mort 15 and the screw just turns in the hole without loosening. The guard remains tight at that point. There's no way I can get anything down the hole to deal with this. Any advice apart from cutting away the plastic leading to the screw. Cheers
Sounds like the screw post has snapped off, I can’t imagine it would hold the clutch cover in there unless it’s the two screws holding the actual clutch in, shake and pull the clutch cover vigorously until it frees
Hi, the DC14 and DC33 use the same motors unless you have a late 240V DC33 with replacement genuine motor which has a shallower motor fan case and lower motor seal (these were generally fitted under warranty because DC33s for some reason were unreliable with their motors)
@@parwaz7861 Awesome! thanks for conformation. It's a very old DC14. we have been through so much together. did the brushes a cuppla years ago too. thanks heaps for getting back so quick too! Have a Cushie Day!!
I've find that the qualtex clutch belts are too tight when using the belt lifter tool resulting in making a mark on it. Would heating the belts up make it easy to warm up?
Parwaz 786 I like your words! I see you like Beko 1867, HooverLux, DysonVacuumer35 (he’s unpopular too), iBasiac and many more! Just different people with different perspectives! Also, how old are you (if you don’t mind)?
I replaced my clutch and my brush still doesn’t work on my dc07. I’m the hose still sucks. I assume the spindle drive on the motor is bad. Should I replace?
I can't seem to reconnect the U shaped tube at the bottom right after taking care of a clog. Any tips? It keeps coming undone when I move it from the upright position.
Assuming your dyson is purple for reference, make sure the purple clip in its full entirety is fitted correctly to the U bend and the very top of the clip locks into the top of the part of the vacuum where the U bend grooves are
@@namrofni6236 I didn't buy them I just filmed my refurbed vacuum for a tutorial but you can get non genuine off ebay and the filters are worth it non genuine as well nut make sure the purple filter has a seal at the bottom
The wire in the motor housings keeps coming apart resulting in the machine not turning on. This is the first this has happened to me. Is there any way?
@@parwaz7861 I've used the MTR299 and the discontinued MTR240 motors. I've never had an issue with them. The other type of motor that has the wires on each side and has the internal thermal cutout has been fine too.
@@parwaz7861 Turns out that it's just possible - you get one screw left over at the end!! However , it's now super powerful: almost too much so; it clamps itself to the floor and my wife says it's a workout in itself to push (and to carry upstairs too, but she's always said that!).
Hi I've changed both filters but the bottom suction is not working. The motor feels hot and I've cleaned all the pipes. Weird thing is the The telescope suction tool works fine . What can need fixing?
My DC04 feels weak when reclined. It feels strong when upright. Filters have been changed, the internal hose is fine as well. I've checked all seals. Still nothing. Do you know what it may be?
If the suction at the internal hose is the same as at the main hose, the issue will probably be something to do with the brushbar, soleplate, seals, brushbar or clutch
Oh, by the way I think the clutch belt from the clutch to the brush bar is wrong. It should be the thicker belt but it looks thin. I’m sure it works fine they are very hardy machines but I’m just letting you know 😁.
@@parwaz7861 Should I take it apart again and replace as it does work or should I leave it? When I take the cyclone off and test it the suction is strong.
That’s why changing the motor on a DC01 is dead 💀 easy because there’s no clutch! Easy like carrot 🥕 cake 🍰! WHAT?! DID I JUST HEAR 👂🏼 VASELINE?!?!?!?!
You are very good at this type of video. Very comprehensive and easy to follow. Nice work. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Best instructions so far.... I have dc07 with clutch.... Worked for me thankyou
Used this video to replace brushes,easy to follow good closeups and completed the job without any problems. First class.
Brilliant result, nice one! Thank you for watching!
The method is simple, the presentation is confident and simple. Just genius!! I am just going to change the motor now.

Awesome, it's quite similar to the Dc14 there's very few differences
Hi, EXCELLENT Video, WELL DONE ! My DC07 doesn't have a clutch. Will I follow everything as shown but without the clutch ?
Thank you! Yes the dc07 is the same procedure:)

@@colinhenry2487just any mtr299 with a thermal overload cutout is the wise option
The DC14 bin catch is loose. I took it apart and fitted it again, but the issue hasn't gone. Do you think the whole chassis beeds replacing?
Either that or it needs a new cyclone catch

Heat would make the belts stretch out even more, they won’t last as long
@@parwaz7861 I mean slightly so it's easy to fit.
Is it essential to use Vaseline inside the motor housing or is it better to just use it on the motor seal?
Just the motor seal would be fine
@@parwaz7861 If you put it in the motor housing, does it cause a trumpet noise?
Do you find taking the cable off so you can work on the motor or by leaving it?
You can do either way, cable off for more slack makes it easier or it can be done without
Why are you not popular?!
I will be if I keep up the persistence ;)

I replaced my clutch and my brush still doesn’t work on my dc07. I’m the hose still sucks. I assume the spindle drive on the motor is bad. Should I replace?
The spindle never goes bad as its part of the motor so you can't replace that, either it's your clutch or brush at fault
@@parwaz7861 thanks. Both brush and clutch are née last night. Maybe the clutch slipped off the spindle
Which part do you find a bit hard to put back in?
I’ve done so many of these it’s a piece of cake lol
@@parwaz7861 I find putting the motor back in can be fiddly.

Is it normal for DC14 cyclone seals to stick out a bit? Also the bit where the bin trigger sits feels a bit bumpy. The cyclone looks ok though.
Yes it will be fine, the seals are designed to stick out slightly
@@parwaz7861 The bit where the cyclone release rod doesn't look even. Is it supposed to be like that? I've uploaded a video for you to see.
