Dyson DC04 Motor Burnout

[suctionselector]

The Dyson I bought some weeks ago, was a DCO4 Absolute +. Today, some tinsel got into the motor, the vaccums motor noise went low, so I have no idea what next! New Motor? I'm sure twocvbloke will tell me how rubbish his was :S

Ha ha yep he sure does hate Dysons!

I'd say the tinsel jammed the fan and caused it to overheat.

How did tinsel get in your motor?

I have a spare of you want to pay for postage?

jmurray01: Heard it all. Seen the video of his Diesoon.

baglessball: I removed thecyclone, and let it fly in the hole to see what would happen! Thanks for the offering of a new motor, is it from a clutchled model? Also, I suppose I could pick up, i'm in Garforth.

twocvbloke: It made an awesome slurping noise!

 

[twocvbloke]

The difference between what you did and I did though is vast, I was sending screws & bolts down the hole, shame it's thermal cutout thing took over when I taped up the hole, but, can't have everything...

Small things I see, but not bits of tinsel!

The impact of small lumps of metal has an adverse effect on fanblades and armatures...

Really!? Hahaha.

 

[twocvbloke]

"Really!? Hahaha."

Of course, it's more obvious on clean-air motors which have thinner, weaker blades, and if the objects get past the fan blade disc, then they get into the electrics, which can cause a bit of a bang, and a blown fuse in the plug...

Personally, I like the Photonicinduction way (no longer on youtube sadly), where he wired in a variac to the carbon brushes only, and gradually cranked up the voltage, the results were spectacular...

Oh Yeas he is!!!!! Newchannel called PhotonicinductionArc!

 

[twocvbloke]

Oh, that's cool then, shame his dyson motor video is gone though, that was my favourite...

Along with some of his washing machine vids, like the self-destructing one, that was funny...

shame on you david and jack how could you kill a vacuum on purpose? that really makes me mad when i see people destroy vacuums on purpose. expecily on this site dedicated to vacuum loving no destroying vacuums

 

[twocvbloke]

Not everyone has to love everything everyone else does...

Heck, I don't like most older Hoovers much, nor american Aerus-electroluxes, or most TTI products, so yeah, I like what I like and that's that...

At least I'm not like that twerp on youtube who destroys any vintage vacuum just because he has mental instability issues...

Gawd, my 13 year old SEBO upright just picks it all up without a problem! Nothing gets into the motor. It's great for coins, bolts and even those awful pen lids.

 

[twocvbloke]

Try removing the bags & filters, like what we did...

(though being a Sebo, I wouldn't do that, cos they can actually clean without much fuss!!)
