I'm always amazed at how most people beat the living hell out of their stuff and never think about it. My mom always taught me to take very good care of your stuff so it will last a very long time. I'm currently 53 years old and I still remember her telling me that like it was just yesterday. Needless to say I take very good care of all my stuff which includes my DC35 which still looks and operates like brand new. Just think how long everyone's stuff would last if they just took care of their things. But then again, that would mean they wouldn't be buying things more often which would be bad for the businesses who make these items.
Well said & good to know that there are actually other people out there who care about their possessions too! I also was brought up to respect & look after my things 👍🏻
And, you heard it here first: "Everything breaks". The rider to that is that everything deteriorates too, so give everything the respect it deserves. All of a mind.
One thing about deep cleaning the motorhead...those carbon fiber strips on the brush roll are more delicate than you might think. Avoid the instinct to soap up the brushroll and scrub the brush strips to get them clean. If they are really filthy, just soak them for a couple minutes in warm soapy water. The brushroll fibers are pretty tough...but the black carbon fiber strip adds a great deal to the cleaning and dusting power of the vacuum, and if you aren’t careful...when you reinstall the roll into the motorhead, you’ll notice that they don’t have much fiber left on them. The carbon fibers are kind’ve like silk. They will shed and break off if you aren’t careful, and by the time you notice that something is wrong, the damage is done. I compare it to hand washing a delicate garment. Use mild soap, and check them in between cleaning stages to make sure they look okay. When they are almost dry, I gently comb them out with a fine tooth comb to fluff them out before assembling the motorhead. Yes... I actually do use Woolite...lol.
I would just blow with a airgun , most of the parts you've put in the tub are not supposed to be in there in particular the centrifugal part , there are gaskets in there that need to be taken out first. Of interest was your kirby with the reversal/blower mechanism .
Another point on the brush roller, they do wear out. The brush fibers take an enormous amount of abuse and get shorter over time, leading to less agitation. Consequently, the brush roller should be replaced now and then. Depending on how frequently you use the machine, about every 3 to 5 years I'd estimate.
Just FWIW, I cleaned most of mine with a kitchen sink wash-up brush and a rag. A Scotchbrite pad removed any paint buff-marks without scratching the plastic surface. Thx, and good detail, good f/fwd and good camera placement.
Thank you so much for this great informative video. I was able to clean up my vacuum to 'new' condition, and it works like a champ again. The only thing I hate about Dysons, is that they're made of plastic, and all the little clips can easily crack if you're not very, very careful. Proper metal parts for a case would allow them to last many more years. But I suppose that's how they get people to buy another one.
Very nice...BUT. What I have learned about Dysons, they are VERY suction sensitive. If anything is causing additional resistance, the unit will simply stop. So...dust accumulation in the head that reduces the airflow will cause the unit to intermittently stop. There are a number of videos to pull the head apart and clear/clean all the internals. Good job.
Interesting. I don't have the "latest" but maintain my 2 earlier versions with regular cleaning. As I mentioned, if there is compromise in the air flow, the units shut off intermittently.
Tu so much that little screw in where the small belt is attached in the floor head was driving me crazy last week I could not figure out what type and size screw driver r bit driver I needed. U just answered my question on that. Tu for this video it helped a lot. I don’t have the money to purchase a new one and mine still works I did purchase a new battery and a new extent on wand the little pieces that connect at the top and the motor piece was broke. So once again thank u for your help
nice video, thank you for sharing. You can also get the power head motor cog off with just using a long extension bar with a T8 torx bit on the end without pulling it all apart.
What was that yellow handle set of pliers you used to remove the plastic drive that had all the hair wound around it. Looked like big tweezers of some kind. Superbly detailed and produced video. Very helpful.
Mine is the same, started going faulty within 12 months. Once it’s has started to cut out it will continue to stop until it completely cools. If it’s cutting out remove the internal filter and let it pull air straight in and it still cuts out. I think it’s a faulty safety thermostat cutting the machines power. Dyson s designed to need regular maintenance and replacement parts, like giant frustrating Lego. I’ve had three different machines and had trouble with them all. I’m binning my dc24 this week.
I just finished cleaning mine... but then I watched your video! I could have done more. I didn't know you could submerge all the parts. I was a bit concerned when you dunked the part with the wires on it. Are you sure that's okay?
Theoretically, water shouldn't interfere with electrical components, as long as they're completely dried afterwards. N'theless, you can put almost all the parts here into water, just avoid the motors - main and the one in the power-head.
Hi Bill the best way to find out the manufacturing date is to send Dyson a message and tell them you’d like to know the date manufacture. They’ll then ask you for the machines Serial Number as they put it into there system which tells them the date it was manufactured!
VacLab I sent them a list of 30 odd serial numbers and they told me them all. I always find Dyson’s customer service to be amazing! They’re so helpful!
7mins 30secs in and seem to have missed the context/background and also seems to be about cleaning a vacuum that’s not in bad condition...the filter looks new and little wear and tear. Odd
I got one and I'm going to proceed with confidence but what about the pin became foggy what the best way to clean it up that sucks that getting foggy so quickly .
im pretty sure your not supposed to submerge the cyclones underwater i heard there is some sort of seal that gets damaged underwater, and when its damaged you lose suction
Hi there. Completely false info unfortunately. When filthy Dysons come into the "Lab" all parts, except the motor are submerged. Been doing that for years. They key is the quick drying process afterwards to avoid mold and mildew forming.
I wash mine in the yard and set them in the sun to dry before they get a chance to get moldy. It really gets rid of the odors in the vacuum. It's fine as long as it dries throughly and quickly, and it's the easiest way to get all the fine dust that collects in the cyclones.
DeoxIT D5 cleans electrical contacts in situ. The can's fine spray tube, an almost infinitesimal squirt, and let it and gravity do its work. Try the Max button again later.
Wow. Nice job. You soaked the wand and motorised head in water? No problem with the electrical connections? How long did you dry them out before putting them together again?
@@remicourty9689 You could have a blockage in the neck of the floor tool and / or in the neck of the bin where the little trapdoor flap is - If that gets blocked up then the machine can surge too. that flap must be able to swing freely when you move the bin

That's amazing. I usually just clean out the cyclone with a pipe cleaner, but using a blower looks way more spectacular and thorough.

The newer Dyson stick vacs have far too much suction and stop fairly quickly on medium pile and thicker carpet.

Yes, but a T8 size driver wasn't readily available at the time, which was years ago.
Thanks for this. I am going to clean mine up to see if it still will work.
Good luck, hope you get it going again.
Well it's clean. Works a bit better. I think I need a new battery. Thanks again for a great how-to.

@@vacuumcleanercollectorfixe1499 you must have quite a few Dysons. I only have four. 😎
how many mins does the new battery last?
24 minutes on low and 12 minutes on high. Cost me $24 on eBay.

Hey there, any tips on how to pop those two plastic clips back in after disassembling? 15:33
They should snap back in with no trouble.
Or just poke them in first before close the rest of the case.
Very helpful

I didn't put any of the two motors in water for this refurb. 😎
@@VacLab thanks. I read to avoid water because of the electrical contact points. I guess there's no issue then.
@@timtam003 with full size motors without electronics, it's no issue at all though. Just dry them properly.
What would cause it to stop suddenly?
The original battery in mine only lasted a few seconds, so I bought a new, more powerful aftermarket one.
So most likely it’s the battery life that makes it do that?
VacLab What state do you reside on? If you don’t mind my asking. I’d like a tech to look at it
@@dyanagomez1324 I'm in the central Ohio area.
@@dyanagomez1324 If your is 5 years old or older, the battery is where I would look first.
My dc35 work 3 second and stop , work again 3 secondes and stop , how I can fix it ? Sorry for my English I’m French
That was happening to mine and I changed the battery and solved the problem.
You need a new battery.
mk toohtwo i have change battery and it’s same thing , now my phone spiral ore it’s in trash . I neee buy new :/

The actual dirt pickup tests for the DC35 are really terrible. 😢
You should compare this to the v7
The V7 is at my church unfortunately.
