Faulty Dyson Hairdryer cable repair-part 1

This is the first video showing the fault and how to remove the cable from a Dyson HD01 hairdryer. Hopefully it will help someone do the repair themselves. Sorry about the quality, I’ve only just started the whole TH-cam posting.

Thanks Mick for making the video.

Your welcome, I know there isnt many videos about the DYSON range, I've been repairing them for the last year and learnt the hard way. I just want to try and help other people who have a similar issue.👍

[@jochenrudiger]

Great, thank you very much.
The quality is not that bad and I hope that others find your video, too if needed.
I just subscribed. Greetings from Germany.

Brilliant video Mick!
Thank you 👍

Thanks for your comment 👍. Not the best video quality but it gives people an idea of the work involved.

Here from StezStix, hope he fixes another one using your video as reference. Nice work.

[@Mickwild562]

Stezstix is a funny guy and he’s just in the next town from me so has that northern wit.
I do hope he does another one of these, they are straightforward, for me, and if he did another one then he would enjoy doing it, the battle is getting into them.

Thank you mr.

Nice work!

[@Mickwild562]

Thanks, I think I make it look like a long process of doing it but it only takes me around 30
Mins to complete normally.

Is this in response to StezStix video?

[@Mickwild562]

I did watch his video and thought I would do a teardown and repair video on the Dyson, there isn't actually that many videos on these. I'm a subscriber to Stezstix and have been for a couple of years now along with MyMateVince too so to have something on their channel that I actually know something about I thought I would take the plunge and make a how to video. It did pain me to watch Steve struggle with it and I know he thought they were a nightmare to work on, but they are only easy If you know how to do it In the first place.

Over here we call brand DieSoon, because one is born every second.

🤣 I like that saying. The problem with the Dyson as far as I can see, is they are really really well engineered but they are very much over engineered too. The faults I see the most of over the last 12 months since I started to repair these is
1) blocked filter(s)
2) the cable failing
3) on/off switch sticking
4) Thermal fuse blowing
For some reason users don't clean their filters weekly, I see some motors in really bad condition. They are a light, powerful machine BUT they ain't all that really, some design flaws. I'm new to the TH-cam content but I am trying to get some better equipment so my videos are a lot more clearer for everyone to watch.
Thanks for your message too 👍

Is this the start of a new channel?

[@Mickwild562]

@@porkchp6369 I am trying to do content which isn't already on TH-cam. I've tried to find help in the past on the Dyson hairdryers (for example) but there was very little, if any, videos out there. I am new to this so don't expect high end production 😄

@@b4c0n88 👍. I’ve got a new camera setup so I may do a better angled version.
