So I watched too many Dyson videos to count. My direct drive motor would only spin without the brush connected. I needed to take the motor off at the wiring end and do it without breaking the darn thing and could only get it back together watching this video. I wish you removed the motor all the way to the end where the wires connected but you got me far enough to figure it out! Thanks! Dyson store tried to sell me another direct drive cleaner head. My Dyson is only 3 years old and it appears a piece in the side where the wires connect seem to have melted near the teeth and caused it to jam, I pried it out and now it works. I hope it lasts a few more months. Thanks again!

Great video, accurate description and saved me a lot of stress when disassembling my cleaner head. Thank you.

Thanks so much for making this video! It saved me a lot of time, disassembling and cleaning a Dyson V8 Absolute.

So far so good with this vacuum. kzfaq.infoUgkx8ISPQRRAfpAaX4msGjyodObTBnlj4T5g I was a little concerned to find it seems to be all plastic, but the reviews were good, so I'm hoping for the best. Very easy to assemble Recommened, and only attachments I've used so far work well, and are easy to use. Doing a good job on the new carpet in my bedrooms and stairs. Works well on the hardwood on my main floor too. Reasonable weight and cord length. I already knew from an earlier review that it wouldn't fit under furniture, but I can use my Eufy for that, so no problem - the high traffic areas that need a stronger suction was really what I bought this for. If it continues as it's started, it will be a good buy and well worth the money. I have had two Shark Rocket stick vacs in the past that are super easy to use, but the motors just don't last well, even with scrupulous cleaning of the filters. I'm hoping for better with this Bissell.

Very helpful! Thank you. I followed this and managed to fix the head of my Dyson which had gotten jammed.

this is a great tutorial, I was able to properly clean the brush . Keep it up !

Thank you for a very informative video. I noticed my V10 was a bit clogged up so thought it about time I cleaned it. It's now spotless, so thanks again.

Very instructive, and he rightly shows there is some maneuvering and futzing around to get it back together. I watched to see what length of screw went where in reassembling.

Thanks, this really helped me save $119 all I needed to do was disassemble the cleaner head to take a broken thin piece of plastic out near motor to get the brush to roll freely again. I was about to destroy the thing because it was so hard to put back in place.

Thanks a lot! I didn't even know anymore how well the V10 could perform. Now it's back to its former performance. Great video!

THANK YOU KIND AUSSIE FELLA! I found a V8 Absolute in a bin that was never maintained, but nonetheless was completely functional! Your guide helped me clean off years of neglect and now I have a perfectly working $450 Dyson Vac! THANK YOUUUUU!

Great demo! Saved me £60 on a new drive head. Many thanks

Thank you so much for this! Really useful guide to take the head apart for deep cleaning. Liked and subscribed!

Ah, it's always the little screw hidden underneath the sticker! Thanks for your help friend and the great video.

Thank you for your very detailed disassembly video! Well done!😊

You helped me fix my motor head and save $137. Many thanks

Thank you so much! You did a great tutorial, very usefull.

Thanks so much. After accidentally vacuuming dog poo :( I washed out the head and it would run for a bit then stop. After pulling apart, the bearing at the left had siezed, so I took off the bearing seal, sprayed with CRC and turned the bearing around a bit. Freed it up and now all working!

Thanks bro you saved the day thank you

Thank you for this video. I wanted to take it apart to clean it, but after I saw this video I changed my mind 😅😅, so many screws in different sizes... No way.

Thanks mate, hubby just fixed my vacuum head after pulling it apart, think there was something stuck in there stopping the roller from spinning😍❤😁

Thanks for this, cleaned it up all nicely :)

Absolutely brilliant thank you very much. Didn't know you could dismantle it all.

Thanks you I don’t remember the way of cable , now it’s good thanks

This is a great guide - very thorough, and at a pace conducive to understanding. Thank you! I’ve had to pull mine apart to clear a length of wire that may or may not be from the head itself. It resembles a segment of guitar string and its length about equals the circumference of the brush. Does this belong in my power head? If so, where? Thanks again.

Thank you so much, that’s so helpful

Great and clear demonstration. Thankyou

great video, helped me a lot taking apart the Dyson vacuum head. thanks again for the video

Thank you! Could not figure out how to get off that clear plastic piece!

excellent video - noted no audio on the reassembly section (but I put mine back together no problems at all)

Thank you, very useful demo.

Have you done one for the actual flexible joint, took mine apart but the red and black wires had broken so I need to solder them but unsure as to how these wires as they have broken after the “Y” style wiring groves so not sure how they are fitted

You're doing Gods work, thank you

Sehr gut erklärt, thank you...

Gracias por el vídeo, ahora probaré si puedo hacer funcionar mi cepillo

Thanks, great video, was able to find a broken wire inside the ball joint with a continuity test and soldering in a new piece of wire saved me buying a complete floor cleaning head at £62 - Thanks again 👍

Fantastic video

Thank you! I took mine apart to clean and couldn't remember how the wires went ...

great video thx

Thank you. Very helpful.

thank you. this was so helpful !

Very informative, pity you didn't show how to dismantle the knuckle as I need to replace the brush bar motor.

Hi, thanks for the guide, can you share what screwdrivers you used for this? thanks

I need to replace that direct drive motor, what you didn’t show is where the 2 wires lead to and how to access them to disconnect them..can you please help

Great video! Thank you.

But how do you remove the spindle assy that the brush roller fits over?. That's the bit no-one shows.

Super helpful video! It could stand to have the volume increased a bit so I could hear what he's saying though.

Everything is said. Good job and many thanks.

👍🏼, very helpful, thanks!

thx 4 posting

Best Dyson head repair video ever!. What size torx screws are those? T8 ?

My brush won’t turn…I got the other brush head unit to work again…..I’ll have to do this disassembly and see if can get it to work

Thank you man! I think, must buy new one.👍

Thanks chief. Much appreciated.

Great video, except I need to replace the broken ball joint half and i have no idea how to remove the wires from the motor and replace with the new ball joint (which comes with pretty long wires). Do you have any videos for this? I got half way through :(

Thank you for a great video. Can you explain when you take the motor out and clean it with a hose out the back. What is it you are using? Compressed are or a water hose to wash it? Also, should you use any lubrication on any of the roller bearings?

can you do a vid on strip down of dyson V10 thks. your vids on the motorised heads are brilliant

Great and very useful thanks Sound keeps dropping out though ??

Thanks mate.

Thanks bro. I ran over a banana my brother left on the ground haha

Thank you!!

Can you show how to uninstall and reinstall the 2 small roller wheels at the front of the head. No one seems to cover this and its a problem I have since dog fur gets stuck in them. I'm sure anyone else with pets will have this same issue eventually, but no one seems to show how to deal with this.

Hi did you clean the motor with water?

Merci, demain je me mets au travail pour réparer la brosse douce de mon V8 absolut. Thank you, tomorrow I get to work fixing the soft brush on my V8 absolut

Can you recommend of an international website that sells small parts for the dyson head. In my case the plastic thingy that holds the 2 wheels is broke and I'm looking where I can buy it

How do you access the brushed dc motor within the grey plastic bar? I've never seen a tutorial explaining this particular breakdown step

Thanks! Audio is corrupted after 10m35s, though :(

On mine it looks like there's a good amount of hair that got into the end of the motor and I didn't see in the video that you kept that part intact, is there a way to remove the cap of the motor head so that you can clean underneath (where you see the spring). My head spins for a few seconds then stops, I cleaned everything I could but the only place that would still be untouched is near the spring.

Pretty well done but I had no audio for the entire reassembly. Is that my system or the video?

Great Video. Please tell me where you buy your screwdriver set.

Buy the Wife one for her Birthday. When it breaks down watch her unscrewing her Dyson.😅

Lifesaver

Thanks for the video. I didn’t have to do all these operations cause my V7 Animal motorhead wasn’t too dirty. But what I discovered removing the blue cilinder of the brush was that the grey stick under it (the motor, actually) has a cracked piece. I went to the vendors cause the vacuum cleaner is still covered by an extended purchase guarantee and they rejected my claim on the ground that the brush is an expandable piece and therefore not covered by the extended purchase guarantee. Has anybody else faced a similar problem? The only solution seems to be buying a new brush…

Nice! I washed the whole head, now the rollers wont spin...Do you think its dead?

Much appreciated

I've tried many different sizes of screwdriver and the 3 front ones that appear at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="275">4:35</a> won't move. Nothing fits, nothing moves them. It's as if they were glued to it with something crazy strong. I've tried precision tools, electric driver, hand driver. They won't move. Please any advice?

Can you remove the rubber cap on the backside, that you used the flatthead for, without taking any screws out?

My brush does not "just come out". It is stuck. Only the little panel came off. Less than a year old, really disappointed with Dyson.

I have just found your channel and I hope you are doing well.

Can you tell me what screw size do I need to open the plastic cover?

The locking cap at the end of the roller, how does it come of, do I just pulling of

I need some help please. I’ve got a Dyson v7 complete and I dismantle the floor brush. Now I’m unable to reassemble it because a piece of plastic is in the way , can you help me please.

Can you make a video of the v10 direct drive head assembly. I’ve got it taken apart and now I can’t get it back together

Really good video, but after the minute <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="637">10:37</a> the audio doesn’t work.

Hi! What type of screwdriver do you use?

my motor that turns the brush is frozen up. how can i unfreeze it?

Turn the volume up

What tool gets those star shaped screws out?

How do you remove hair on the tiny weels

I can’t get the first bit even undone

How to open the motor,my motor was jammed

Is their an actual electric motor in there?

I think the spring on the motor is loose on mine, how do I access it?

Can you tell us where to buy your screwdrivers, please?

Mine doesn’t have that slit on the side. I have a v11

Mine was stopping intermittently, I opened it up, I found out that the black wire is cut off from the base, since it been more than 2 years of purchase, Dyson is not doing anything. They insist that I need to buy new head. Someone please tell me there is a solution to my problem

This is such a nightmare and for the price Dyson need to be ashamed of themselves, never again!! How come sound stopped on reassembling? or did this only happen to me

every video stops right at the part i need. cleaning the bearings

What is the name of the part in the back at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="580">9:40</a>?
