- Another one of my full stripdown videos, this time, how to take a DC14 (non clutch) apart to it's component pieces! Ideal for troubleshooting or refurbishment.
Hoovered up the Mrs’s lipstick by accident I couldn’t figure out how to take it apart, thanks for the video!!
Excellent. Thanks. You were easy to watch because you are clever and no nonsense
Thank you, Beko. It was very helpful. Detailed and with helpful explanations. Thank you for your skill and patient working through each point. No wonder you have a reputation with your clients. I managed to pull apart the DC14, polished the the commutator (in the motor) with wet and dry sandpaper, checked and then cleand the brushes and surrounds with contact cleaner, then re-assembled the DC14. I had to refer to your video at points for detailed instructions. It works. Beats a service manual!
Astounding work, well done! Thanks for the feedback, glad to hear the video is helping nicely with things 👍 Their simple machines really once you work them out aren't they!
Hello Beko1987! This video was a great mentor to me as I took apart my Dyson DC14 to replace the stinking valve carriage. I was warned by a vacuum repair shop that the plastic on Dyson's (at least the early model), has been a big issue for them because over the years it becomes very brittle and breaks easily. I found that to be VERY true. When I went to remove the post motor filter that you demonstrate at 10:32 seconds, some pieces broke. When I took off the post motor filter, two "buttons" that pop out on the base (that keep the post motor filter on -- or that they snap onto -- broke off...the front one and the one on the right (if you are facing the vacuum). I put the PMF back on anyway and hoped for the best. At first the vacuum was doing great, but then the air suction pressure caused the PMF to sort of pop up while vacuuming and making a howling sound. I'm guessing I can't replace the base of the Dyson that easily, eh? I am going to try duct tape after I replace the HEPA permanent filter) and see if that works. Not sure what to do. Suggestions? Thanks!
Anette Hassold Great to hear you've got stuck in! I've had the little tabs on the side of the filter cover itself break off, but usually it clips back on but if the tabs on the actual motor housing have come off then that's going to be annoying! You need to change the cover itself, which isn't an expensive part, but requires the switch to be disassembled, and the entire cleaner stripped as if you were changing the motor, then the cover pops off the motor unit. If you've got a fresh filter in place, which now shouldn't need touching for a while I'd say try some double sided tape around the top lip and see if that sticks the cover down, or as you say, God's own gaffa tape! I wouldn't glue it as that will be annoying to get it back off again should you need to. Or, maybe some small little screws into the top lip. It's very far away from the motor so you won't come a cropper there. Good luck either way! Sam
Anette Hassold Follow this, you'll see where the cover comes off. I'd imagine Stuart (the bloke who owns Manchester Vacs) would post you a used cover out for pennies plus post if you mention my name! Or look on ebay! manchestervacs.co.uk/DysonForum/index.php/topic,3066.0.html
Thanks so much for your reply, Sam! I will look into getting the part on eBay since I live in the States. First I will try "God's gaffa tape". Haha....aka duct tape and we'll see how that goes! I don't know that I want to take the Dyson apart again due to the brittle plastic. But when my Dyson does die (which was handed down to me, so I didn't buy it), I will need a new vacuum. Do you have a CZcams video on your best vacuum suggestions? Might be a little different since what you can get in the UK and States might differ. Thanks again!
Anette Hassold Ah the US, yes, the motor cover may not be 50p there... Tbh on a 14 that should be the only real brittle part, and it's only brittle because it's so thin. Can't say I've ever had another part of a 14 break, their made of better plastics. You guys didn't get the dc01 or 04 I don't think, their early 90s machines and they go stupidly brittle, and fade too. I might know some American collectors, ill try and find out how much the part would be. I have no idea really!
Hey Sam! I found the motor cover on ebay for about $7.00. I am going to try the duct tape first. I am guessing that since you are a Vacuum Ninja, you are able to take them apart without plastic snapping b/c you know the proper amount of pressure to apply and you know how the parts come off. Give me about 10 more Dyson's to work on and I might get up to Vacuum Ninja Apprentice. :D haha. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks so much for this video! I couldn't figure out how to get the canister all apart to clean it. This was just what I needed.
I spent HOURS today trying to figure out where a part for my DC14 went, when I reassembled after partially taking it apart to for cleaning. LIVE chat with Dyson didn't help. One the phone with Dyson didn't help. Reading the operational manual didn't help. The parts diagrams didn't help. Your video finally did. Thank you! The part you remove at 9:50. Ugh! But thank you so much!
That's fantastic to hear, and makes it all worthwhile! Thanks
Thank you for this. You showed me my solution at 11:27. Thanks so much !
I have a dyson dc07 and got it a few days ago (and I'm 13) and did something other people my age wouldn't do and that is refurbish it Replace the clutch, buy new filters, polish it. Works very well for a 14 year old dyson dc07 better than my bissell power lifter quite embarrassing because I vacuumed first with the bissell and then the dyson in the same spot and picked up more I also cleaned them both a lot before doing the test. I have 4 vacuums yes I'm a weird kid.
Wouldn't say that's weird man, sounds like your well on your way to a life of vacuum cleaner fun! What vacs do you have?
You haven't met the rest of us idiots on VacTube I bet.
@@LarryMarston What's Vactube?
Beko1987 You're on it, chief. Check out my channel, I'm a more foul-mouthed, less-professional version of you.
Guys! I’m 14 and I fixed my DC01 De Stijl without intention! Legit all it needed was cleaning an inspection flap and 90 air-watts bang on!!!!!!!! Also, I told my mum to give it a clean prior but she said just forget it! I somehow fixed it anyway! Hooray!!!!!!!! 😁
Cheers mate, very useful video had a good time getting right in there cleaning everything out
Awesome! Easy to follow instructions! I was able to thoroughly clean my old DC14
Many thanks!
Thank you from across the pond.
I know this is an older video, and I thoroughly appreciate you doing it. One suggestion is to use a steel or flea comb to clean the brushes.
Awesome! was really helpful stripping my Dyson vacuum cleaner!
These strip down videos are great! I just did a full refurb of a DC 25. Found a dumped one for free, but it had some broken parts. Wanted to refurb it but not spend much money. I found it was cheaper to buy another non working DC25 from eBay for £15 and make one good one! To just buy the spare parts alone would have cost me nearly double that.
Very pleased to hear it! Yes, often it's cheaper to buy one for spares, I have amassed the spare parts I have from machines that aren't worth repairing. I have a 25 for breaking in the shed as it's very tatty, and needs a brushroll motor, so £30 on a machine I'd struggle to sell for £60 after a full refurb = worth more in parts!
Thanks mate your videos are excellent, really appreciate them.
Fantastic breakdown !
Thank you for this! I love my DC14.
Amazing video. I replaced theinternal hose on my grandparents' old Dc14 Animal and it performed like new after the internal hose was replaced
+Carlover16 always makes me laugh when I get a scrapper that's had more tape wrapped around a split internal hose than a new hose itself would cost!
Great video sorted out my dc 14 animal broken chassis strip down and rebuild 100% helpfull
Excellent, very many thanks. Mine just died. Had I seen this first....
If you were close enough, you could have mine to repair.
Great instructional video, thanks
Great work, love your very informative videos. I would like to dismantle my dc14 wand to try and fix a faulty release catch. To gain access I will have to remove pipe/tube. The problem is, unlike most wands, this one doesn't have a pipe grip with clip. Is there a clever way to remove wand pipe? Many thanks
Yeah the crevice tool clip is sensitive. I remember squeezing it when I was little and it broke off. In the US i have to pay around 10 dollars for a new clip which is expensive for a small piece of plastic.
*Great vid, thnx for sharing 👍👍*
ty vacuum now picking up like new
thanks man for posting this it helped my fix my 2 dc 14's also do you know how to get rid of ciggarette smoke smell i have washed everything and its still smellu thanks.
30:59 I don’t think 💭 you’ve ever been in a headlock which is why you’re calling it a hug! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ha no, it's not something I've done for a few decades...
Beko1987 Few decades?! Oh right! Makes sense! U got any DC01 De Stijl or Absolutes that are spare? If you ever do, can u hook me up?
@@CORNERofTECH few decades 😂
@@2009danial As if Vacuums back then had cyclones! 🤣
Many thanks. You made my day with instruction to access switch & dust container release button.
Hello, Great videos. I'm needing to replace the black port plate because the original one broke. Will I have to disassemble most of the machine to install the new port plate or is there a trick you can share? Haven't found any videos addressing replacement of the plate. Any advice would be great. Thank you!
I can't get the DC14 cover off that determines carpet or floor
In my town we have loads of non clutch dysons
nice machines to work on, them and the dc17 are majority of what i get in for refurb.
Thanks Beko , So glad i found your "componentisation!" as i was just about to chuck it until i realised the roller brush had siezed bearings. I couldn't figure why it would not spin. Generally i have to say that i think the overall longevity of these types of design is very poor when you consider that most people might well bin them rather than fix them. What a really bad waste of resouces. No wonder Dyson and his" engineers" are making bundles of dosh. This is not engineering , its a good way to prove that bullshit baffles brains.
Thank you for your thorough and clear explanations. I am repairing a friends dc14 on which the motor has gone bang, when I say gone bang, when turned on, large yellow flare from motor and immediate plug fuse blows. The commutator is in a right state, I will attempt to clean all the carbon debris from the gaps and see if this improves things otherwise I am looking at a replacement motor. I have seen cheap non ydk motors from £15, I did watch your good video on motor problems which was useful. Question is would I buy a tested used ydk unit or a 'brand new' non patent motor for around the same price?
Always go for the £15 motor, their fine, and you'll never fix up the old motor from that state, check my ydk video out to see it tried! Just order from LM Electrical on ebay, they are qualtex, and they make the motor! Just search Dc14 ydk motor and it'll come up!
@@beko1987 perfect thanks v much:-)
What would happen if you add a filer to the motor inlet cover on a DC14? Just curious if it would hamper the suction or just filter the air going in. I know it's not needed just wondering why the cover needs to be so large.
Hello. I just got a second hand DC14. I have realized the suction on the hose part is totally fine, actually it is like a beast. But there is no suction on the bottom (the main part. i dont know what it is called) checked all the tubes if there is something clogging it, they are all clean so answer is no. brush is spinning there is no problem with that. removed the cover to see maybe there is something around the brush which is clogging the way, again the answer is no. what can be the possible reason that there is no suction on the main part? :(
Hi Beko, do you have by any chance have access to any of the DC65/UP13/DC66 models, looking for some instructions to replacing the main motor, not the roller motor
how do I reattach handle to wand on a DC14 ---it came apart and won't slide back on.
Hi I love your videos. I have a quick question though. Can you take the end caps off of a dc o7 brush bar to clean the bearings out ? I asked dyson and of corse they said no I have to buy a new one. Thanks to your videos though I’ve stripped down the rest of it but I need to know about the brushroll In it. Thanks. Keep up the great videos.
Danny Toney You sure can! Their just pushed onto the inner axle. Grab and twist and pull both sides and one will come off. Pull the axle out with the one that stayed on. Then, using the end of the axle, partially push it into the bearing and 'flip/lever' it out. If the bearing has a black plastic ring around the inside, pop that out with a tiny screwdriver, clean any burnt out oil off, and fill with fresh grease and pop the cap back on. Spin it by hand to distribute the grease, the push the bearing back into the brushroll. Push the axle back into the roller, it can be a bit fiddly getting it out the other end, have the bearing back out if it's tricky as it makes the hole bigger(oo-er). Fit the bearing, fit the e d cap and voila, you 1 - Dyson 0
Beko1987 thank you. Everything works fine on it except the brush bar spins a little slime on it. The belt is still tight on it so I’m assuming there’s stuff wrapped around the end caps on it. When I get to work tomarrow I will take it apart and clean it. Thanks again.
I'd agree, very VERY common issue. You may not even need to grease the bearings
We need to see it going back together...did you do that one yet????
I've read that washing the cyclone unit results in a smelly Dyson. Is that your experience? Did my DC15 and there was a metallic smell on first use after cleaning but that seems to have disappeared thankfully. I guess if you thoroughly clean all of the parts there is no issue.
Richard Mander Not at all, but you do have to strip it right down and scrub it spotless! Dc07s are the pain for this as you can't compenentise their cyclone units!
HOW do you get the engine HOUSING off the top? I can't find a video showing that. My friend stepped on it to push the back down & smashed it into a billion pieces. I bought a new housing unit, but cannot find instructions on how to get it off :(
My DC14 trips the circuit breaker quite frequently. How would I fix the DC14?
My screws will not tighten what am I doing wrong?
Where do I get those type of cable connectors from that connect the cable to the on/off switch?
Their female spade connectors, readily available on ebay. Not 100% sure of the size though, so you might want to check
The part I need to replace is the one you remove at 24:37 in this video. I am not sure if I need to do the full strip down or not. Would you please explain?
I need a you bend
I caught your cold after watching. You really should have been wearing a mask! Or I should have.
The rubber belt on mine has snapped maybe I can use an elastic band.
No it won't work, you need the proper belt. If it's a non clutched machine their both cheap and easy to fit 👍
Hi Sam, I have an unusual Dyson Dc14 Animal! It's the first one I've some across like this & want to know the reasoning. It has the catch to pull up the side filter (on the bottom right) casing with the same little lever on all the Dc07s. I find this very unusual as all Dc14s I've had never had this. Is this a feature they had on the very early Dc14s? Before doing away with the lever altogether? Seeing that no filter goes in this part on the Dc14s like they do on all Dc07s. I'd love to know why!
That is strange, I've never seen one! It's not just had the catch replaced with an 07 latch? It would hammer in and probably work...
@@beko1987 That's what I thought at first! I did some digging & found an official dyson video with this same model. It must have been their early ones. Here is the link: czcams.com/video/7jy-MfHoJbE/video.html
I need to replace the exhaust pipe assy on my DC14 (it's cracked). Do I need to remove the motor to do that?
If its part of the chassis then yep, full stripdown I'm afraid! (bar the cyclone, you can just pop that to one side!)
Thank you so much for your reply! It's the "elbow" that is attached to the exhaust. It is part #53 in the second picture on this page: manchestervacs.co.uk/DysonForum/index.php?topic=80.0
cheers m8
Torx T15 for most, T9 for the clutch (not that this machine has one!)
Hi, do you know why there is air coming out from under the bin? Thank you
That's where the air exhausts from Dyson uprights back in those days, there's a post motor filter under there
@@beko1987 ah, so it's totally normal then? Thank you so much.
Hi. Anyone know the difference between DC14 & DC14i?
i
Please can you do a dyson dc50 stripped down
I'm a long way off being confident enough with a dc50 to do a full stripdown on one, their difficult buggars!
I got a DC 40
Thanks mate, the wife was just about to buy a new Dyson. Repair cost £1.25.
Very good! Is she pleased though? Or more angry that she can't have a new one?
