After watching you very informative video, I got soft tooth brush & cleaned all the dust out, lots, & the swivel base, also cleaned much dust by turning & exposing inside with tooth brush. Now working beautifully & quieter than it has ever been, I am thrilled.
After wasting an hour with Dyson online chat that did nothing to fix H2 error code on my AM09 model, given address to send for service at my expense. I bought 5 of these years ago, gave 2 as gifts, now all back in my possession. Only 1 has this issue. Decided to search You Tube. Appreciate your video. Going to try taking it apart and clean. You make it look fairly easy, if it is, will clean the others as well. Fingers crossed. I love the compact size, use 1 in a camper for heat rather then the propane heater. Definitely not designed well and way over priced. As my late grandfather would say "A fool and their money are easily parted." Should change my name to Foolish 😂
Wow. My Dyson wasn't anywhere near as bad as the one in the video, however you definitely helped me identify my issue, and figure out how to fix it. It only took about 10 to 15 minutes for me to clean it out with a soft brush and a tooth brush, to get it working flawlessly. Thank you for your invaluable help.
*This fan is everything I wanted in a desk fan and more. It looks great for **Fastly.Cool** my room , it puts out a wonderful amount of air. Is very easy to use.I just keep it plugged in.*
We got this for the toddler room th-cam.com/users/postUgkxdzUap46p9ViXhKZf5mK_bXOb89EHxTqq because of the bladeless feature. Actually has a lot more power than I thought it would. Can still feel the air moving well 6 feet away, which is farther than I would expect from a desk fan. My daughter dropped twice and still works. I haven't checked out how long it lasts on a charge yet, but the air output was still good for the few minutes it was unplugged. My daughter also likes the color lights feature, but I don't really care for it and can be annoying to go through all the options before it turns off. Overall, happy with the purchase, especially for the price
I was surprised that you said it was noisy. Mine is very quiet. And has been great for keeping the kitchen warm and not having the heat up the whole house, until I got the H2 error message. So I hope I can clean it because now I'm retired and I can't afford it another one.
Thank you for this video! Was very helpful in cleaning out my Dyson which was pretty clogged up with dust and grime. Luckily all mine required in terms of cleaning was a good scrub with a cloth, an old toothbrush, and some over-the-counter canned air. Thing works like a charm now!
Thank you 🙏 I just fixed the heater on my Dyson because of this video. Now I feel more comfortable keeping the first Dyson fan that hit the market. I was about to throw it away until I stumbled upon this video. Not to sure how I actually fixed it, but opening it up in 3 different places and giving it a good cleaning really helped! All I used was a vacuum and screwdriver. Btw, if anyone knows why heating number 17 below doesnt work but 17+ works let me know.
I have Dyson hot/cool unit and it too stopped working after using it for only 2 years. For an unit this expensive, cannot believe how difficult it is to clean out the dust. Not to mention the noise.
I have a simple 12" fan and this dyson. I cleaned the 12" wire fan in the time it took to take apart the dyson. Haven't even cleaned it yet. What an ugly pain in the ass.
I do have my HOT+COOL since 2016 ( newest model that on the video) and my heat didn't work for the last 2 years. I did call DYSON and they told me IT COUDNT BE FIX. Today because of you I did clean my device and OH MY GOD it was disgusting !!! After a very detail clean my device is working like new and EVEN THE HEAT!!! THANK YOU!!!! YOU MADE MY DAY!
After watching the video, and reading comments below, mine must be quite clogged, as it's very noisy, and not so powerful any more. I'm going to follow your guidance. Thank you!
We live in a very noisy area so I got 2 of these. Expensive but blow cool air in the summer and nicely drowns out the sound of the passing traffic and barking dogs . Thats my way of saying they're not quiet!
For those who haven't got access to an air blower a paint brush dabbed into the holes from the inside works great, I would also recommend a powerful vacuum on the holes on the outside frequently.
They’ve definitely improved on these throughout the years. I have the pure cool link model (just a Wifi enabled blade less fan with a HEPA filter) and it’s pretty quiet. I imagine the filter will eliminate the need to take the unit apart for service. I do like being able to tell how the air quality is in my room without having to be there and it automatically switches on and off depending on the condition of the air in the room is. But I agree, very expensive. I got mine for a discount that was about half of one new so cant really complain. Might just go look at the pure hot cool as well. Thank you for the video!
True it is still a a victory of style and marketing over the function. The good thing is that they are so costly that people try and repair them instead of buying a new one.
I havent even taken mine apart yet and i can already tell its 5x worse. Smoking around this thing probably isnt the hottest idea. Thanks for the video man i had a feeling it would be something relatively simple but i didnt want to accidently sever any electrical connections trying to take it apart without instructions.
thanks for making the video about this H2 error. (click read more for solution as my comment is too long) My AM09 dyson hot cold fan recently had the same problem. but i checked all the little holes vents there was NO dust whatsoever (and Air was blowing out fine).

I have Dyson fans. I've never seen anything like the muck in this one, in any of mine! I just use a vacuum brush every few weeks and dust and vacuum the room!!
My dyson is heat n cool. The cool flow levels go up and are strong. Where as the heat won't go more than level one which u can barely feel. And temp won't budge even though I turn it up to the highest
Is there anywhere where dust don’t exist? Other than space I wanna live there, thank you for the video I’m about to do the same mine isn’t blowing neither
Have had my AM09 since 2015, but have had the infamous "H2" error for almost half of it's lifetime. Switching outlets, remotes, etc. never fixed the error for me, after trying to do a deep clean like this one- it still gives me the H2 error. I'll have to edit this comment if I ever find a fix for it... right now I'm thinking about getting another space heater for the winter time.
Same here, mate. I ended up grabbing a Vornado. I'm just getting back to my Dyson and it's in need of a good cleaning. Call Dyson and let them know. I had them exchange a faulty unit out of warranty. Very friendly. Hassle though.
Sorry cant help. This product is truly a victory of style over functionality. Ridiculous price - the question is: Why do people pay it? Dyson should have stuck to the wheel barrow with the spherical wheel then we would all be better off.
The foam is likely there to deaden the resonance of that housing to make it quieter. i find it disappointing that PU foam is still used. I understand that it is attacked by ozone. Thanks for watching.
Hello there! I came across an old AM05 hot cool tower in my office that I’d like to use. I plugged it in and it seems to produce heat, but won’t go any cooler than 25C and the oscillation stops then too. Would this clean help my issue?
I have had mine for many many years now, has never broken and works beautifully. That being said, I do clean the whole thing out at the minimum once a year. I use sticky jelly to clean the holes, super easy and satisfying. I was wondering if you can take it apart any further hence me watching this video, really sad there isn’t any other way to get into it :/ seriously stupid design, they don’t expect people to maintain these things just buy the newest models…
Ther eis another video on my channel that deals with cleaning out the top section. These things are definitely demonstrates what happens when style is victorious over content
Dude, it's not really dead skin. That's an urban legend. It's mostly dirt, pollen and stuff like that. Good vid though, thanks for sharing. Got mine working!
Thank you - I hadn't noticed the screws when pivoting the base like that. I have a cockatoo, so mine doesn't go very long before getting this error. Now I can get it up and running again. :)
Ok mine has an E message, flashes red and blue and of course makes this melting plastic smell. I had to remove it from my outlet and it was still lit for like 30 seconds super weird. Anyway, would cleaning it help? Do you have any idea what’s wrong with it? I mean it’s from 2015 and it has never been cleaned so I could try. I’ll update if it works or not when I’m done!
Ok quick update: thank you again for the video! I wish I could put pics here because it was just as dirty as a vacuum cleaner bag! It took me an hour to clean out but I did it. Oh my god! That was bad. But it’s clean now! Hoping the dirt was the solution!
Do you know the problem I am having with mine? It seems to blow hot air only on the right hand side and cold on the left which is very annoying. Thanks
I have the H2 error as well, Dyson customer support was very unhelpful, so of course I came to TH-cam. Thank You for the video, off to give mine a good cleaning.
All that design, all that work, all that flabbering and this entire fan is basically a disposable item for a person that won't do this clean-up procedure/can't (not all people were born with a screwdriver in their hands). And mind you, there's both enough space in the frame and the existing design to have removable mesh outers and inners to clean. Heck, the design lends itself to even allow a removable and cleanable motor pod/core.
A victory of style over electronic design. I just don't know where they get these engineers from. I bet they use young clean-cut smart boys instead of hairy old men that know their stuff. I ran a development department for 20 years working right there on the bench with the engineers as it was the only way to stop stupid design practices. Design is easy but most companies stop well short of adequate testing of their designs.
Seeing as how they've gone completely to making filtered units and not just fans, they also realized how badly dirt can clog up these fancy "air multiplier" apertures, as well as the tiny holes for air intakes. I bought myself one recently (AM06 fan/no filter), it's still stuck in the NE U.S. from winter storms delaying shipping, but I've been watching these types of videos to make sure mine lasts for years. Edit: They still make the AM07 tower fan model, but discontinued the AM06, so the tower fan is the last one without a filter.
Does anyone know of someone who could help ,e clean my Dyson for me? I live near Whetstone in London but need help as I know this is my Dyson problem. Will pay obviously!
My would not no cool air i went to dyson on line and they had the remort control press this press that and low and byhold it came back.I think it was my use of the hot fan. Cool did`nt like it. Cool again.
They are a ridiculous product. I haven't spoke to anyone that loves the Dyson heater. The real question is why or how anyone could be seduced into paying the price for one of these things.. Noisy, smelly, gets blocked up, numerous error codes etc. etc..
@@razenby I bought one 4 years ago. Stays on number one for speed so it takes three hours to heat my bathroom....Then when door to bathroom opens door it takes another 3 hours to heat up again...Now I see it needs a cleaning. Stay tuned!!

Because the number is the target temperature of the room. If it is already reached (or close enough) they will not heat.
Does it use electric heating or oil radiator system?

Thank you. Pulled apart a similar old model with totally clogged holes. I found a stiff paint brush and a small vacuum cleaner did the trick.
Nice work! Glad it helped.

Thanks for that mine works now ,I cleaned mine out with a can of compressed air that I use for cleaning computer keyboards

Great to hear! You are welcome.
Unfortunately we are without an air blower in this house what would be the best suggestion ? just using kitchen cleaner and a hoover maybe ?
Yes definitely worth a try.
Did it work?
Does this model have any filters that need cleaning ?
Yes watch as described in the video.
What screw driver did you use? Or Allan key?
Torx T20 I think or perhaps a T25
I don’t have access to an air compressor but I’m wondering how well it would work to just vacuum it out?
Yes, maybe, or perhaps poke it out with a stiff brush. it would just take a little longer.
Same problem for me but none of my screwdrivers seem to fit!
Same here im fuckin freezing in my loft room
Winter drawer on!
Helen, did you ever find out which screwdriver/hex key is required to fit the screws? I'm in the same position.
Ah, ignore me, found the answer further down - 'T8 Torx driver'.

Great news,
Mine has special screws in it, making impossible to open, any ideas?
There are many inexpensive screwdriver sets with security bits. Have a look on eBay or Amazon.
the one with the hepa filter is better I'm looking for a filter to fit this one use a air conditioner filter works some but not brilliant
Interesting.
Do you know the problem I am having with mine? It seems to blow hot air only on the right hand side and cold on the left which is very annoying.

Hi, what screwdriver do you use to remove the screws? The normal stars screwdrivers don't work :-(. Thanks.
You need a torx screwdriver bit, I didn't have the right size though but managed to open using a small flat head screwdriver. Hope that helps
You need a T8 Torx driver
You never mention what screw driver you used to undo them ???

You are right!! Dyson is products are definitely a triumph of style over function. they are an ECO disaster,
One guy cut hepa filter into strips and wraps it around to keep the holes clean

Anyone know how to get that wire bundle on the bottom flush so the plastic piece goes back flush when you screw it back in?
It is tricky. Have a good look at it and think it through.
Mine just stopped working and doesnt even start up when connected to the outlet
@@MacenW yup that was it. I got a new extension cord and it works now
Try turning the plug socket on.
@@Dime_Bar hahaha funny joke
A victory of style over electronic design. I just don't know where they get these engineers from. I bet they use young clean-cut smart boys instead of hairy old men that know their stuff. I ran a development department for 20 years working right there on the bench with the engineers as it was the only way to stop stupid design practices. Design is easy but most companies stop well short of adequate testing of their designs.
Exactly same with mine , totally won’t come on🥲any ideas 💡 anyone ?
Seeing as how they've gone completely to making filtered units and not just fans, they also realized how badly dirt can clog up these fancy "air multiplier" apertures, as well as the tiny holes for air intakes. I bought myself one recently (AM06 fan/no filter), it's still stuck in the NE U.S. from winter storms delaying shipping, but I've been watching these types of videos to make sure mine lasts for years.
Edit: They still make the AM07 tower fan model, but discontinued the AM06, so the tower fan is the last one without a filter.
Interesting thanks. None of teh Dyson heaters are very reliable. truly a triumph of style over content. Their profit margins are eye-watering.
Fixed! thank you!
Glad it helped!
I have Am09 and heat stopped working showing message of H2 any idea what to do?
Sorry I dont know that one.
wonderful thank yopiu
You are welcome. Thank you for watching.
gracias.

Awesome 👍
Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this video! I was about to screw it apart but instead I went and got a normal fan :P
Glad it was useful.
Real good 🎉
Thanks for watching
Thank you! What size screwdriver did you use to undo the screws?
Sorry, not sure - I should have said.
@@razenby It is a Torque (6 point start tip) 7; just cleaned mine today 12-31-21 and it works; H2 error gone
typo: Torx 7 worked.
Thank you for this! Had tried to use one of my screwdrivers and none worked. Now have a T7 on order! Worth it to clean it out!
Seem like an awful lot of work on an annual basis. Not sure I want one now.
Yes, it is a victory of style over function. Remarkable that lemmings pay this price for a Fan heater. Over complicated nonsense.
Thank you !!
You're welcome!
Just cleaning mine 👍🏻
good Luck
@@razenby recently discovered the top is removable too
Mine are dirty too I hate it
Daft design
can't believe it was just dirt. Interesting that Dyson doesn't tell you to just clean it!
I think they do but if you leave it too long it gets compacted into felt pellets...
Mine probably has a dead possum in it!
Or smells that way!!
lol indeed
Does anyone know of someone who could help ,e clean my Dyson for me? I live near Whetstone in London but need help as I know this is my Dyson problem. Will pay obviously!
Sorry I don't know anyone.
almost half 1k for a fan heater.. so called 'perfect technical design" but they forgot filters in front of the fan............ hahhaah.
A true victory of style over content
My would not no cool air i went to dyson on line and they had the remort control press this press that and low and byhold it came back.I think it was my use of the hot fan. Cool did`nt like it. Cool again.
Interesting
"Tummy button" lolol
The ramblings of an engineer...
I did not watch the whole video. It definitely needs cleaning! Did anybody tried vacuuming it?
It may work providing the blockage is still fluffy. These were like little hard felt plugs in the holes.
Have you given her a name ? 😂😂😂
Ol stinky!!
Mine has never blown cool air .dont buy one you’ll regret it
Probably because you dont clean it or u have a bad ac wall plug
You do set it to 32 F or 0 C right?
They don't cool air. It just circulates ambient air to make it feel cooler. There is no cooling element in them.
They are a ridiculous product. I haven't spoke to anyone that loves the Dyson heater. The real question is why or how anyone could be seduced into paying the price for one of these things.. Noisy, smelly, gets blocked up, numerous error codes etc. etc..
@@razenby I bought one 4 years ago. Stays on number one for speed so it takes three hours to heat my bathroom....Then when door to bathroom opens door it takes another 3 hours to heat up again...Now I see it needs a cleaning. Stay tuned!!
Very noisy, very expensive if it’s cool air you need stick to a traditional propeller type fan
Great point!
Why would anyone approve that kind of design? That thing is junk!
Agreed. It is certainly a victory of style over content. Over-hyped rubbish. People love them though.
@@razenby got mine for 80 dollars Facebook market.
Couple of scratches but nothing wrong.
Good deal right?
Yak dead skin 😂
I don't know if that is just urban folklore or not. It was greasy and firmish pluggy.,... I have never seen that in our house....
