Ideas on how to fix poorly Dyson?

2

Comments

  • If its not sucking after changing filters then there's obviously a blockage. Easy enough to fix really. Get a new lead off Ebay, its not too difficult to fit and if the attachments are falling off then you probably need a new wand, again from Ebay. Oh, get the hose from Ebay too :D £25 and you'll be good as new, i've done all the above to our DC01. This is a money-saving site after all!

  • Why chance ebay when Dyson will come out and give it an overhall and leave it like new for £35. Best read the other threads on here.
  • I thought the service call was £49?

    Edit: According to the Dyson website its now £55 for a service call?

  • Thanks, all. Dyson call out a bit pricey, but seen some ebay stuff. Will keep plugging away with it for a bit longer!
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.
  • Even at £55 it's still a good deal to have your machine like new. One of the posts on one of the other threads said they replaced things that weren't reported as faulty, even down to a new motor in one case. For £55 it surely beats a new Dyson.
  • Its strange that they will go all out to replace all worn items such as hoses, cables and even motors, yet they still charge extra for 'consumables' such as filters! £55 is certainly better than buying a new Dyson though, thats for sure. 12 months warranty on all replaced parts too. :D

    Are the brushes turning. It may be a broken belt.
