Hearing that your daughter is off to university was somehow shocking to me, even if it makes total sense. I just started my 3rd year of university, and I've been watching you since my first year of high-school. Hard to believe!
I hope you will continue to keep your videos as "real" as possible. It is because you show your failures that we, your audience, learn more completely and understand more thoroughly the task at hand.
It's quite a surprise that all that crap managed to get inside because the filtering is typically good on Dysons. My cyclinder vacuum has great filtering.
Hiya Vince I've gotta say a massive thanks I saw a Dyson supersonic on FB marketplace for £50 locally which had the 3 flashing lights and I remembered this video. So I got it and while it wasn't as bad as yours it was the bottom filter! So I got a Dyson hairdryer for £50!! (With attachments) A massive thank you for giving me the idea to fix and finally have a Dyson!!😂😂 Your video was perfect and I knew exactly where to find the screws and the o-rings. I did have to do a little fix for the rubber seal on the bottom filter but it's perfect!!
just as a suggestion, use a watt/amp/volts meter in line on the mains. Like a USB monitor it will show any faults with over current problems, excessive voltage drop. Here probably not the case, but good to know with high wattage devices of impending faults, either the cause of the shutdown is current or thermal related and the device is drawing recommended power. Great video ! Thanks for your effort.
The filters must work a treat!! Who would expect hair in the same environment as a hair dryer 🤔 Goes to show, Dyson is not worth the premium price anymore
Great fix ,your hair dryer is a mini turbo,where air flow is compressed into smaller space to generate a bigger heat in little time so all air ways might have to be visited later on.
If it wasn't for the malfunction you might have given your daughter a really dirty hairdryer to uni. What amazed me the most was the amount of muck getting in there with all the filters and such especially when you take the price in consideration. On the bright side, another great video from Vince
Great video and fix vince,lots of hair got passed the filters which is alarming,I keep my superglue in the fridge when I open it,it stops it from going hard it the tube
Hi Vince, using the B-7000 glue, I am not sure if it was the best choice for the power button. It does have a very strong bond, but also you can soften it using heat 60-80C, so in this "case" it may fall off if the hairdryer is on for a longer time. (I don't know how hot it gets under the button, so take this with a grain of salt)
It is very strange that all that hair got passed the comprehensive filtration system. Great video, I really enjoy them. I am currently working my way through you back catalogue including the 'Ratmobile'. Lol
Great video vince, maybe consider a ultrasonic cleaner, it's great for this type of work and cleans everything, everywhere spotless, without the need to break it all open.
Good video vince. I repair alot of these and experience tells me there is hair and fluff in the heating element too. I get plenty of these into me with the 3 red lights flashing and the only thing that needs doing with them is the metal filter cleaning. If I get alot of hair and fluff in the motor as you did in your then I strip it down further to get to the heating element and find 9/10 that's blocked up too. The fact that people do, as you did and clean the filter out while not running the Hairdryer that is what blows the dust from your filter and block you motor, then when you switch the Hairdryer on some of that fluff sticks to your motor and some travels upto the heating element which inturn can block the element up and cause the 3 LED to flash and cut out. I always advise to have the Hairdryer running when you clean the filter, that way the debris can be blown through and hopefully expelled with the air. I do have videos on stripping the Hairdryer down on my TH-cam channel and show the way I go about it. I don't want to send you a link because I don't want to be seen to push my content. Before your daughter starts university I would just double check the heating element for a blockage just as a precaution. I've learnt alot from watching you over the years so if I can help you in return then that would be a privilege 👍
All praise to the algorithm! But, I dunno about the pristine, sensible Weller mat?... There's just something not quite right.... Do Weller do one in a chipboard/mystery wood finish that's been over lacquered and solder-iron burnt randomly? One moment please.
Thrifty Tool Shed has some good videos on these to look at from about 1 year ago and very good teardown. Should have a look at those and may be give a shout out if you do to clean the head. He has some drawings too to help.
Nice on Vince thank you. Not sure if you know this Superglue hack, but after you use it, put it tip side down in the fridge (not freezer) and it lasts forever,
"It's what happens when you dye your hair"? I trust your couch is com-fee? Advise you switch to your "inner voice" for these very clever quips Of course I've never had a GF so I'm in no position to advise Still, we all want to you stay alive for the "next" video I digress. GR8T video. And here I thought is was going to be a little dry. It actually blew my mind, was hair raising and ended up being a hot topic in our house. We are all big fans. Thank you InVINCEable. You (still) RoCk! Cheers from So.Ca.USA 3rd House on the Left. p.s. We were "HAIR'ed".. (again!). You're killing me man
Vince, buy what you want! Who care what other people think. Most of the time when people criticize you for buying something expensive it's because they can't. You work hard for what you get paid so spend it how you want. Love your repairs. I watch then purely for entertainment. Congrats on having a kid in college. That's exciting!
Hi Vince. Fairly new to the vids but I’m mostly thru the back catalogue & love all of them - including the not so popular (according to you) Rolls Royce marathon lol. How did you not scan the QR code under the purple?! That drove me crazy😮 Also I am intrigued to know what that port was that was also under the purple plastic. Keep up the amazing work mate ~ from Matt, an ex.pat who know lives near Boston, Massachusetts 😅
All thet dust looks like talc? Its so abrasive I wonder if thats been causing a problem - I recently bought a belt sander that had been used on plaster. Killed the bearings in 10 mins!
Eating popcorn while watching you pull out massive clumps of hair and dust bunnies from inside the motor was probably not my smartest decision.... 🤢 Regardless, another good fix, Vince! Such a shame though the way those buttons are glued in. It takes the repairability down a significant number of notches. *Edit* - Also, I enjoyed seeing you turn two of them on at the same time during the wrap-up portion of the video. My US 120V wiring was crying out in shame. That would've popped a fuse immediately here with that sort of amp draw!
Horrible design , repairability 0.5/10 not for the weak at heart , thanks vince for showing your struggles as well. these videos convince me even more to never buy a Dyson product.
This video was a mistake whilst on my lunch break, comparing it the bath drain plug is correct, there is not much on this earth that turn my stomach but clearing a drain plug is one of them! This was a fun but hard watch 😂 🤢
Hair today, gone tomorrow. A new mantra for Dyson designers perhaps, Design is a funny word, some people think design means how it looks (sorry, Steve). Store superglue in the fridge (but, yes, a lot of fakes about).
Surprising. James Dyson prides himself on designing things that work the way they should. Here we have a hair dryer that swallows hair which is an etremely flawed design!
Bearing in mind the price of Dyson products and this hairdryer in particular you wouldn't expect the filters etc to allow so much hair through to the internal workings.
Something similar happened to me wirh the headphone port on my old iPod Touch. Headphones would not stay in, so I took a toothpick to the port, and wouldn't you know it, a shitload of pocket lint (or something) came right out, and suddenly my headphones stayed in no problem.
If all that sieves, and filters and o-rings didn't prevent that much hair to enter the device and wrap around the motor, I'd call the whole dryer some crappy design.
Vince! Thanks for the continuous entertainment :) - Obviously as there's no real way to reach out to you, I'll pop you a message here. I've got a stupid £800 short throw epson projector with a daft fault that i don't just want to dump into a PO Box... and probably a load more stuff too. Drop me a message (however you do that?) if it's of interest?
9:48 Wow. A 300€ Hairdryer and the plug-pcb of the motor as well as the windings are so badly isolated?👍Good Job Dyson ... anything that lasts doesn't make money anymore.
Dyson stuff seems to be poorly designed, a simple bit of hair and they're busted. Normal hairdryers would just burn off and blow out the hair. There's also too much software in them, so that once they develop a fault it needs a reset with some special software and cable.
You don't understand. 2 women in his house have said it doesn't damage their hair. He managed to preserve peace and make a video, he did the best he could do. It doesn't matter than in reality Dyson is over engineered garbage.
You are telling me a 500€ Hairdryer can't deal with some hair? I knew Dyson was a scam, but that's on another level. I got my hairdryer from my grandmother, it cost like 50DM (~25€) at the time she bought it and it still works day after day lol
Came here to say that. A good flashlight or “torch” pointed in the stator could verify if all hair was removed:) If you’re not testing, you’re guessing!
My Animal does the same thing every once in a while where it stops sucking and won't work right until I clean everything out, just changing the filter doesn't work.
My left ear loved the start of this video. :)
my cat knocked my headphones off the side earlier and thought it had broken them :)
same
lol yeah I thought my earphones broke for a second
only had one ear bud in and of course was the wrong one till I seen this comment. Yet I was watching it without sound lol

Exactly I have been watching him since I think 2015-2016 and time just flew bye I remember his very first fix it video it's been so long
I hope you will continue to keep your videos as "real" as possible. It is because you show your failures that we, your audience, learn more completely and understand more thoroughly the task at hand.
This guy used to be my favorite youtuber!!! glad to see your still makeing videos
That repair blew me away!!!
😂😂
@@mikejm79 thats what she said ☠️😁
@@Mymatevince can you please fix mine I wish I had a handyman dad or brother to help me
Dyson vacuums great unless there's fine dust. Dyson hair dryers fantastic unless there's hair.
The irony is clear.

Old Dysons are good, the new ones…not so much.
It's quite a surprise that all that crap managed to get inside because the filtering is typically good on Dysons. My cyclinder vacuum has great filtering.
Great vid Vince, so glad you show 'warts n' all'.... I can appreciate why Dyson products are priced the way they are from this teardown.

I've had a Philips hair dryer for fifty years. It has never let me down.
Great job! Hair grosses me out so as I looked away during that part, I'll take your word that there was a lot. 😃
Great video vince, maybe consider a ultrasonic cleaner, it's great for this type of work and cleans everything, everywhere spotless, without the need to break it all open.
Love your tenacity
sound only on left side? EDIT: Only for the intro shot. Once you get it on the red mat its fine.
Cheers for the heads up
thought I'd gone deaf in my right ear! 😂
I know. I thought something was wrong with my Bluetooth earphones.😂 Already fixed them once.
Cool my mate Vince
Well done, top tip for storage of super glue is to keep it in the fridge

Hi Vince
Just wanted to thank you for all your awesome videos. Been a subscriber for quite some time. Always enjoy watching you! 😊
Great fix Vince well done, I really enjoyed it thanks 😊
Vince. Where are your gloves and dust mask? I needed a shower after watching this.😂
Duskmask he did it in broad daylight 😉🤣
Not worse than being out in public eg in a supermarket 🙂
I totally agree. The mask, meh….but no latex gloves had my tummy squirming & gave me an overwhelming sense of ‘ick’ lol
For O-rings it's nice to have some silicone spray at hand. It's also a good rubber conservant besides talcum.
Great job vince 😊 hope daughter does well at uni
ok!.. my wife has same dryer/ same problem so now!?.. here we go!.. thank you sir ill let you know how it goes 😂
I got 1 white flashing light. Brand new machine, filter is clean, is it the motor?
Thrifty Tool Shed has some good videos on these to look at from about 1 year ago and very good teardown. Should have a look at those and may be give a shout out if you do to clean the head. He has some drawings too to help.
@32:56 daughter gets the good one and the poor wife when she drops it gets a GO ON I dare ya pick it up lol
great video Vince you need an air line great for blowing these sort of things out
Would be strange to have inside the house and I think the blower thing is good enough
It's not. A compressor can blow moisture into electronics. Learnt the hard way.
Nice on Vince thank you. Not sure if you know this Superglue hack, but after you use it, put it tip side down in the fridge (not freezer) and it lasts forever,
How has the repair held up? Mine has been overheating for a while... it can go about 2 minutes at a time.
I was just checking your channel today. It has been a long time
How does the hair get in there past the filters?

Amazing video. Only one I’ve seen on TH-cam that is actually helpful
honestly you need to pan the audio at the beginning to the center. Was the seller called Chewbacca 😀
20:06 That's how you know it's a real repair video, it's not always easy to tell when something is fixed 🙂
All thet dust looks like talc? Its so abrasive I wonder if thats been causing a problem - I recently bought a belt sander that had been used on plaster. Killed the bearings in 10 mins!

I got one for 15 on Vinted that did not heat up I played with the buttens and it started to heat it came with 5 tools and the case
Horrible design , repairability 0.5/10 not for the weak at heart , thanks vince for showing your struggles as well. these videos convince me even more to never buy a Dyson product.

Hair today, gone tomorrow. A new mantra for Dyson designers perhaps, Design is a funny word, some people think design means how it looks (sorry, Steve). Store superglue in the fridge (but, yes, a lot of fakes about).
My mate Vince still out here dominating!
Amazing how much hair and dust was inside even after all those filters.
Can I send my one to you to fix please?
Surprising. James Dyson prides himself on designing things that work the way they should. Here we have a hair dryer that swallows hair which is an etremely flawed design!

Bearing in mind the price of Dyson products and this hairdryer in particular you wouldn't expect the filters etc to allow so much hair through to the internal workings.
Nice video
Had the same issue but lucky dysons warranty, send me a new one out
Burning smell is probably because of hair in the heating elements, probably cause of the overheating too.
How did all that hair get past the filters?!?!?
Check the heating element. It may be different than the motor.
vince is everything ok? its been 2 weeks and we miss update us with short video or a picture
From the contruction, is it worth the price? Did yo find any unicorn tears powering stuff? :)
Something similar happened to me wirh the headphone port on my old iPod Touch. Headphones would not stay in, so I took a toothpick to the port, and wouldn't you know it, a shitload of pocket lint (or something) came right out, and suddenly my headphones stayed in no problem.

12:12 never seen someone more excited about someone else's hair ever
What a hairy job you had to clean this out. Another great video. My favorite you-tuber! Best wishes from the USA!!
9:48 Wow. A 300€ Hairdryer and the plug-pcb of the motor as well as the windings are so badly isolated?👍Good Job Dyson ... anything that lasts doesn't make money anymore.
what did happen to those 10$ spinning fans, electric resistor dryers to lead to this 100$ p.o.c. ???
Vince making us all think we have faulty headphones for the start of the vid
Dyson stuff seems to be poorly designed, a simple bit of hair and they're busted. Normal hairdryers would just burn off and blow out the hair. There's also too much software in them, so that once they develop a fault it needs a reset with some special software and cable.

Hairy moment for you there Vince while fixing that
You should still have checked the hole in the middle of the housing,where the air passes.
You are telling me a 500€ Hairdryer can't deal with some hair? I knew Dyson was a scam, but that's on another level. I got my hairdryer from my grandmother, it cost like 50DM (~25€) at the time she bought it and it still works day after day lol
That slow-mo subliminal subscription message ;)
Great work! 👍 Very noisy video! 😃
Using one blower to fix another blower. :D
Looks like someone played the old baby powder trick in the hair dryer lol with all that white dust!
Hello im karlo i love video fixing video mate good work fix!!😊
What’s disgusting with dyson isn’t the price but that they intentionally glue stuff together so repair is hard or impossible.
What an enormous amount of hair and dust..crazy..
It would have been easier to unplug the motor connector before cleaning it. 😉
Came here to say that. A good flashlight or “torch” pointed in the stator could verify if all hair was removed:) If you’re not testing, you’re guessing!
Why is sound only coming out of one headphone? Is it not my headset.
17:43 It wouldn't be as much fun if everything worked as planned. 👍😊
Where are you vince it's been 2 weeks I need my fix, everyone is uploading slow lately
Genuine question: How does all the hair end up in there?
My Animal does the same thing every once in a while where it stops sucking and won't work right until I clean everything out, just changing the filter doesn't work.
I only hear your voice through one earphone vince
Vince does the audio come through both earphones when you do the repair?
Good job but a cheap simple hairdryer wouldn't have the same issues - over-engineered?
1st guess 110v heater on 240
Thankfully, the extracted hairs none were short, black n curly O.o
You said about the smell and I was sniffing! Love your videos Phil, errr I mean Vince lol 😊
17:40 if that were the case then you would've glued the buttons back before testing😂
Design flaw?
2:54 audio works probably on the video skip to it if you want to bypass the quiet audio
That was definitely dry shampoo in there!
