After watching this video, I decided to forget about cleaning it right away. It is too complicated for me 😂Thank you for sharing.
No problem, I haven’t had any issues with mine since creating this video.
😂 I was thinking the same
Thanks mate you saved my life after a "what the F4" message. Dismantled and cleaned 2 fans with your very clear instructions.
No problem, I’m glad you found this video useful!
Thank you so much for this video Man!! I’ve had mine for a few years now and I always wipe the bottom intake and the inside of the ventilator, but I know there had to be dust inside on the fan unit because I can’t get to it. Figured I would make this a weekend project maybe and try to figure it out but had no clue as to where to start. So I went to TH-cam typed in my model number & how to clean, BAM! up came your video, watched took apart cleaned reassembled, thing works like a champ couldn’t be happier!! Appreciate you and your camera person very much! Thank you 😎
No problem glad the video helped you out! We run ours 24/7 during the summer months and its been working great minus that squeak it developed after two years. We haven’t had any further issues since posting this video. I was thinking about servicing it annually but on second thought I’m just going to wait until it squeaks again.
How did you clean the vents on the body of the Dyson?
The holes are clogged up
Very helpful. My fan was super dirty. No wonder i couldnt feel any air anymore. Good job! More power to you!
Glad it helped!
Thank you SO much!! I followed every single step and it worked! Very good video, thanks again from Italy!!
I purchased one of these very recently and am vacuum cleaning it regularly where there is the air entrance. I hope it will help a little bit to keep the dirt inside away, so that I can delay the cleaning and maintenance as shown on this video. Thank you for this instructions!
No problem hopefully you will never have to service yours. I only had to service ours once in 6 years.
*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 agree, ours is in use year round and it still works great!
Thank you so much,never thought to twist the top part to get into the body...I started from the bottom ,took all the screws out and still couldnt get in lol...Save me a ton of headache and a fan.
NO problem, I haven’t had to service mine again since. It is still working great and we run it 24/7 during the warmer months.
Thank you so much! Also discovered how my shop vac works in reverse thanks to you! 😄
You are welcome! We are glad you found this video helpful!
WOW thanks mate my Dyson Cool is now working like a HURRICANE !!!!!! I'm over in England the video was great got it sorted in about 2 hours -IM SO HAPPY ------and COOL !!
Thanks, Same issue, squeeking at low settings. You made this very simple. Well done!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching commenting and subscribing! Oh and BTW ours is still going strong and squeak free! I think ours is at least 5 years old now.
Thanks so much for your most helpful and fun video! I jumped on TH-cam and hoped for an answer for the Dyson Cool I’ve had for 5-6 years… I guess it was time for a cleaning! It worked…and I’m now a happy follower! Thanks so much‼️🤩
Glad you and so many other people found this vlog helpful. We did this in between filming another video that we never posted. I wish we would’ve done a better job on this one. Thank you so much for watching commenting and subscribing! Hopefully you find some other vlogs on our channel that help. Thanks again.
Thank you! And WD-40 really should give you a sponsorship-- we have some of the regular, but I'm going to get us some of the Dry Lube type to make sure it doesn't attract dust.
Two of our fans got the weird noise thing going at the same time, so this video was perfect to show us what to do.
That is awesome I wish they would sponsor us lol. Thank you I’m glad this Vlog was helpful!
Great walkthrough, much appreciated... Sending Love and positivity from London, UK.
Much appreciated, cheers.
Thanks! Now I know what to do this weekend :)
Love the energy you got there!
Thank you, I appreciate it!
I cleaned my Dyson Cool fan today and blows much better!!!
Thanks for this. Been looking for a way to clean our tower fan for a year now
Glad I could help
Thanks from Italy. Very informative!
Glad it was helpful!
Ayaaahhhh I try this dismantle my fun after all ending I don't know to put back😂😂😂
Thanks for the video. Wished you would've included how to assemble back the multiplier part!
Are you referring to the stack or top part? It just snaps back into place.
I’m going to clean mine and your video helps. Thanks
What size bit to use for the screw to remove the black part to access the motor. T10 screwdriver did not work.
Thanks for posting!
You're welcome
I have a cooling tower as well, but it seems bigger than yours. Also, I only had to unclip the top and take out the filter to clean
Thank you man.I just love the internet for getting help with this stuff :D I was wondering how I could clean the inside of the long "headpart" where the air comes out. Will try it like that!
Blessings from Switzerland!
Glad I could help!
Does anyone know how to effectively dry the top part once you have rinsed it out?
You can let it air dry, or blow it our with compressed air.
@@KRTLyfe and would you air dry it facedown or standing straight up? Thanks
I’m wondering this too. I did it about an hour ago and I have it angled downwards with a fan blowing into it. I’m nervous to use it tonight. Will a couple hours with a fan blowing into it work or should I leave it overnight?
Excellent tutorial my friend!
Thank you glad you found it helpful.
Hey thanks been looking to take care off mine. Great video and it was fun!
Glad it helped!
Thanks so much as I was gonna put mine in the trash✌🏽
Glad we could keep it out of the trash bin!
One should be WARNED **NOT** TO WASH THE AIR MULTIPLIER on the ***HOT+ COLD**** versions as there are Ceramic HEATER strips inside that you obviously do NOT want to be washed.
Yeah that is a different model from the one that we have.
What size screwdriver/drill bit undoes the screws? The first one is so tiny.
Finally!!! Thank you so much!!
You're welcome! we are glad you found this video helpful! Thanks for watching commenting and subscribing!
Why I follow all the step and come out with error code f2, it did turn on speed 08 for one second and turn to f2 again with some noise, sounds like the fan blade hit something, is any body facing the same issue? Pls help if know
I would recommend disassembling it again and checking to insure you put everything together correctly.
Great video, thank you!
You are welcome glad you found it helpful!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks for the video bro. Helped a lot!
Glad to hear it!
How do you clean the outside part that sticky part that there's a cat fur the sticks on it?
We just vacuum ours when the outside looks like it’s gathering dust particles.
hello can you help me please when I was able to put everything back in place and I turned on the fan it says f2 what does that mean?? help
Not sure as mine did not have that issue. My assumption would be something electrical isn’t connected or connected incorrectly
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! So so much!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching commenting and subscribing!
Thank you!!!
You are welcome!
hi, how long would you let the tower dry after running it under the hose? thanks
It’s just molded plastic, there is nothing special of electrical inside of it. I think we shook it real good and let it dry for 15 minutes maybe.
are u able to dismantle the part for 2:58? i managed to remove the bottom but i cant split the silver and white part
Hi! I followed this guide and now my fan doesn’t wanna blow out air. The rotating thing works where the fun can move but it’s not pushing out any air. It also says “f2”.
I looked at websites and they said to off and unplug the machine for 60 seconds and if still not working, repeat for up to 3 times. Can you help?
I’ve never seen that issue with mine. I’m sure F2 must be a code for some type of system issue. I would figure out what that code means first .
Then I would take the top off(the air multiplier) inspect everything to make sure you reassembled everything correctly.
Check all of your electrical connections to insure they are all making contact. Sometimes pins inside connectors come lose etc.
@@KRTLyfe alright!! Thanks so much!
@@coolbeans3099 no problem I hope you get it sorted out! Thanks for watching, commenting and Subscribing!
I had an F2 error also after cleaning. F2 means their is insufficient power to the fan motor. I checked all the wiring that I could see but it seemed fine, and there are no visible connectors. I had no idea what to do, so I took apart the plastic housing which holds the motor. There is a connection plug inside, which is also inside its own little black box. It seemed fine, not loose at all, but I disconnected and reconnected it (also i don't know how it could get loose as the box surrounds the plug). Anyway the fan motor started working again, so I don't know if it was the plug or just a result of moving the wiring around as I was fiddling with everything. I think the message is be very careful how you handle the wiring when cleaning and make sure it doesn't get pulled.
I think i have the same model but black and I got it free without a Remote. are there functions / button presses to get the fan to turn?
Thanks for this KRT!
You bet!
Thanks for the steps by steps! It’s very helpful! Just one question. I went to wash the internal foam and it disintegrated. Any fix for that? Or do you know where can I can a replacement for the internal foam? Any advise would be very much appreciated!
You could try to order it from Dyson, or you could just make one. I would go to a craft store or Home Depot and find a big enough bit of foam and shape it to the fan.
Love the videos! Im stuck after removing the impeller bolt. I saw that you had trouble getting the impeller off at first, but you didnt explain how you got it off. Ive pulled on it pretty hard yet it wont budge. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I just kept yanking it until it came off. It was on really tight almost like a press fit.
Wow thanks brother!
No problem!
Good video. wanted to trow it away because Dyson is garbage ( ventilators) Expensive garbage ... it doesn't blow air as hard as they promise. But... neitherless Great video m8
Thank you, I’m glad you got some value out of this video. Thank you for watching commenting and subscribing! We appreciate it.
Great video, hoping this helps e solve this H2 error my Dyson started making for no reason. I had cleaning it prior to the error coming on.
Hope the video helps you out! Let me know the results.
@@KRTLyfe no bueno this dyson is so shitty
Sorry to hear that. Ours is still working very well after 5 years of constant use.
@@KRTLyfe taken the entire thing apart, no obvious dust, put it together and it overheats. It’s a fan now. The heater was the needed function. I really need to upload some photos because I’m not sure what’s wrong because it all looks fine
@@ttlayland Oh, ours is the fan only model. Have you tried to contact Dyson directly? Maybe they can sort you out.
How to clean the holes on the body
With a vacuum.
i put my fan back together and now the fan wont turn on but everything else will on the fan
Triple check that you reinstalled everything correctly.
At 6:21 warning !!!!!! If you don't hold the shaft on back of motor with screwdriver .....you brake off tabs on bottom of propeller. Do not hold propeller,
only screwdriver and ratchet.
HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF PUTTING YOUR DYSON COOL TOWER FAN ON TOP OF A SELF BUILT ELEVATED ROUND STOOL?
NAMELY AFTER WATCHING ALL THE TH-cam POSTS INCLUDING YOURS, I BUILT A ROUND SOLID STOOL AND AFTER MONTH’S I OPENED IT AND FOUND OUT THERE IS NO DUST INSIDE THE SYSTEM AT ALL.
ALL THESE TIME CONSUMING, OPENING AND WASHING THE TOWER AND RESEMBLING IT AGAIN IS A WAST OF TIME.
looking at the video, i cancelled my Dyson Fan order.. just get a regular fan if it takes a screwdriver to open up to clean.. it's not worth it.
I agree, for most people a regular fan will suffice. For me tho I burnt through regular fans every 4-6 months. I run my fan almost 24-7-365. This is the only fan I’ve owned that can take that duration and still function almost flawlessly. Everything else failed in less than 6 months across the board that’s not a commercial fan LOL.
Does the noise reduce after cleaning the fan? i’m not very handy with such products so i’m considering if it’s worth the trouble of disassembling it to clean it.
Yes, the noise was gone after cleaning it. Thanks for watching.
Dear Brother,
First of all thank you for your comment.
I am from Africa living in Scandinavia,
I have the same kind of Dyson Cool but since you are moving so fast in the video while opening and cleaning as well as assembling it back. it was and is difficult to follow you.
if not making a new video can you please send me as attachment video clip in slow motion of course if it is not difficult for you.
None of the other TH-cam video's are as good as yours, unfortunately it is extremely difficult to follow, in the beginning you start slow and with clarity but then you speed so fast it is impossible to follow.
You sent me a non-reply message and for the reason I decided to ask you once again.
Sincerely,
Markos Lemma
Struggling to get the nut off the impeller bolt? It keeps spinning around when I use a ratchet. I’ve also tried to lock up the back end of the motor with a flat head. Any tips?
thanks for the tutorial! p.s. you're like the best white-sounding black guy ever yall
LOL I’ve never heard that before, but thank you for watching, commenting and subscribing! Glad you found the tutorial useful!
That’s an odd thing to say? 😑
@@lunanoir009 right 😒
I have f2 error. Anyone know how to fix this
Look at the other comments someone said it was an electrical contact not fitting snugly. They fixed it by taking it apart and putting it back together again making sure the parts had better contact.
i'm having trouble putting my dyson cool back together. can someone help me please?😊
What tools did you use for the mortar I have the same problem
I need to do this! Where is the link for that teeny tiny little bit for that teeny tiny screw?! I have a Snap On multi bit screwdriver but none of my bits are this small. Help! lol
What about the oscillation?
Jawn23 what about it?
I mean how do you service it when it stops working?
@@Jawn23 idk haven’t had that problem after many years of service.
Nice Work Bro Keep Going (Y)
Thanks ✌
Need slow motion getting it put back together
Yeah, you don't need to do all that to keep it clean. Just rub a rag along the bottom
What size T-thing did u use to unscrew at part three!? My smallest one is a T10 and it doesnt fit, its too large
I will check for you, can’t remember of the top of my head.
@@KRTLyfe remindin you.
T8 works 🙂
Can you do the Dyson TP07?
Hi may i know wat model is thar dyson fan?
It is an older discontinued model.
This fan is so tedious to clean I have a cat who is constantly rubbing up against it and their hair clogs it up because the holes are my cats height. I’ve been using compressed air but it isn’t cutting it anymore
I really don’t feel confident in my skills to take it apart either
Great video up to the putting it back together fast forward part. Totally useless, I had hard time getting it back together. You should do a follow up reassembly video with out the time-lap. You would not need to make a new video just re-edit the last part of this.one. Your fans will appreciate it.
Sorry about that.
nice
Thanks
Pain in the @$$ why they just can't make it simpler is beyond me.
It is a bit of a pain to do, since I serviced mine this time I haven’t had to do it since. We run this fan in our home pretty much 24-7-365 and it still works great!
Would you be able to do an assembly video in normal speed?
Possibly next time I clean it!
@@KRTLyfe got to agree. I’m in the midst of fixing my AM07 tower fan, and I am struggling with re-assembly. Some tight interior shots would be very helpful without the time lapse
WOW how tall is that??? Mine is not that tall....TFS
Mine is the fan only, some people have the combo. It is a different model.
DO NOT (I STRESS!!!) DO NOT PUT WATER 💦 INTO ANY PART OF YOUR DYSON FAN!!! 😳😱😱😱!!! A soft damp cloth or brush will suffice. NO WATER 🚫⛔️🛑❗️
A year later and ours is still working good as new!
@@KRTLyfe def don’t use water dipshit lol
@@user-su1xk3mv2b LMAO please elaborate!
@@user-su1xk3mv2b Using water is absolutely fine when cleaning separate parts that have no electrical components. So long as you towel, blow or just leave them to dry after, that is
Apparently the HOT + COLD AM09 is NOT as easy to open from all the video's I've been watching...
YOURS IS THE BEST GUIDE AVAILABLE IN TH-cam BUT:
YOU ARE DOING IT SO FAST IT’S HARD TO FOLLOW THE STEPS. PLUS AFTER WASHING IT WITH WATER HOW DO I DRY IT ???
CAN YOU PLEASE PLEASE MAKE A NEW VIDEO IN SLOW MOTION STEP BY STEP.
THANK YOU..
I CAN SEND YOU MY EMAIL ADDRESS IF YOU WANT.
Sorry for the delayed response the next time I need to wash it I will make a updated version of this video. Drying it is easy, you can air dry it or you can use compressed air.
Regular fan is way easier to clean it up
Maybe but all the regular fans I tried failed in 3-5 months and are now filling up a landfill somewhere. This one is still going strong after 5ish years of constant usage. Buy once, cry once.
These things aren't designed to be cleaned, that's for sure.
Yeah they definitely aren’t the easiest fan to service, but most of the fans I purchased previous to this all failed with in 12 months. This Dyson is still going strong after years of constant use. I sleep with the fan on every night. I’ve only had to service it once in 3 years or so. I consider that a win!
OVERKILL LOL
ha ha ha.... I use wd-40 on everything electric for the last 30 years.
Well from this white boy that was a really really good well done subscribed 👋 hi from the uk
Thank you for watching.
@@KRTLyfe a compliment from a white boy. Wow aren’t we honoured!
Great vid btw...thx.
Good video. Dyson such a stupid design. Wind is weak just like an expensive toy
Awful.... Do a dry run first! Btw it’s a 9/32nd not a 9/32!!!!!!!!
Steven Bollinger 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄
@@KRTLyfe I found the flaws charming-- for those of us without much of a mechanical background, the fact that you were distracted sometimes from word-perfect delivery made it feel less intimidating that we're going to be taking an expensive appliance apart and trying to get it to run better. Plus, you seemed easy-going and fun. :)
