Dyson DC 07
 

i bought a re-conditioned Dyson yesterday off that bloke on the flea market who has been selling them on there for years, two of my mtaes recommended him because they have both had one off him and the dysons have lasted 2 years so far, i only paid £20 for it so i wasnt expecting much, brought it home yesterday, plugged it in, hoovered the living room and the hall and it was fine, plugged it in this morning, did the landing and half of my bedroom and it stopped working, it just cut out, i changed the fuse and emptied it and still no joy.


anyone any ideas?

i cant take it back till next week because i think he only does the market on a Thursday

oh dear you dnt av much look with hoovers hun do you lol (even the ones that ive given you) lol

I would deff take it back hun xx

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

They have a thermal cut out switch. If the filters get blocked teh motor overheats and it cuts out. DAMHIKIJDOK

Clean all teh filters ( there is a sponge thing in teh 'side' and another one under teh drum (Which Dyson reckon is not replaceable butyou can buy them on ebay)

The sponge one is usually the problem. Its held in a plastic 'outer' you just have to get your finger in the hoel and pull it out equally on all sides, there is no locking mechanism but its a very tight fit.

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

My Dyson leaflet says that the sponge filter should be cleaned every 6 months -looks like yours hasn't

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

cheers Ian and Margaret, i've looked at the filter and its very clean

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

check the wire hasnt come out, it could be a thermal cutout, mine did it once:rolleyes:
as for cleaning the filters , i have had mine for about 6 years and only ever cleaned it once:eek:....lol

but i would take it back and ram it up his ass;)

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

It is designed to trap very fine particles which wont look like the thick muck you would collect in the bin section - so it might look reasonably clean - wash it anyway and try again

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

I bought a dyson from this man and he is very reasonable.....I washed the thick filter and it DID need it.......my dyson was bought from him more than two years ago and it is going strong.......he will sort out your problem if you go back with it, I think he is sometimes on the market on a Sunday.

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

well ive cleaned it out anyway, its now on the radiator but i reckon its got something to do with the on/off switch

i'm going to have to wait till next Thursday anyway Marg, the only way i can get to accy is on the bus, and i dont want to be wandering round town on a sunday with a dyson if he aint there ;)

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

Panther where would i check for the wire coming out? ive looked at the top where the wire goes in and its locked in, wouldnt know where to start with opening it

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

No....they are a bit of an encumbrance. Not really the ideal travelling companion.

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

I had a dyson DC 01 from him for 2 years and it was fine for that time, then it stopped sucking properly,got a DC04 from him not long and i hate it-it also occasionally cuts out :( the motor is whiny already and i am too-whiny at Corker to buy me a brand new one :rolleyes:

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

i carried it home from the bus stop yesterday and i had back ache all darn night lol


Ian i can get the filter out under the drum, i got the one out at the side but the other one is one hell of a ****** to get to

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

D what do you do when it cuts out?

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

Let it cool down,kick the ****** and hope it starts again :rolleyes:

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

lol, ok, i've had every part off it and it still wont work, i cant get to the on/off button because there is a hexaganal (sp) screw type thing in it and i havent got a screwdriver like that....bloody thing :(

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

Thats where my lil pink tool kit comes in handy for stuff like that :)

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

my bro's just told me what the screw driver thing is called that i need.....but ive forgot lol i've got pink bits for brains today :D

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

I have a dyson, every now and again it cuts out. I leave it for a day then it starts working again.

Apparently they all have a cut out mechanism and you have to leave them for quite a while before they will start again, it works normal now.

Go back to the fella on the market, he said he would come to my house for free and have a look at it. He's a nice chappy really.

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

yeah think i'll leave it till tomorrow mel, ive had all the parts off it

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

We are still talking about the dyson aint we??:D

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

lol dont you start too, i'm getting enough crap off Neil and Busman in the selling the table thread ;)

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

right i took the dyson back to the bloke on the market today and he swapped it for another one, and i got a contact number for him incase this one goes wrong, BUT.... as soon as i walked away from the stall he put my old one (that isnt working) back at the front of the stall, i hope no poor unlucky sod has bought it

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

:eek: thats not very good is it??

unless he is selling for spare parts only :rolleyes:

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

lol yeah right ;)

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

:eek:That's terrible
Was gonna say ya wanna contact him n tell him ya seen what he done but he probably sold it on by now
Least ya know not to buy off him again

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

my mate sam bought a hard drive off him today too, we got it back to her house and i plugged it in and started it up, it sounded like it was going to explode, i dont think i'll be getting anything else off him soon though




oh and i told him that if i had to take this new dyson back that he would be paying me for my taxi fare :D

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

LOL he was ok when I went, offered to come to mine and have a look ( at the hoover ) :p but then again Ginger was with me at the time :D

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

lol yeah he's enough to frighten anyone ;) (oj)

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

Think that the type of driver you needed for the nut is called an Allen key.

Have you not tried the chap opp clarkes motorcycles he seems to do re-furbs to cleaners

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

They are torx bolts mate. Only to be awkward thet are torx with a little point in the centre so you can't undo them without a special tool.

Re: Dyson DC 07
 

lol its been sorted now, thankyou :D Ian i have torx keys but just didnt have one small enough for the one that was on the dyson, i have seven of them lol
