Thanks same problem I just ran into.

This issue happens all the time on my Dyson Ball vacuum. The spindle axle should not brake/shear this way, especially on a high-end brand such as Dyson, this easily. Dyson's first mistake was making design/engineering decision to use plastic as the material for this part instead of metal. This alone is a justification to stay clear of these specific models of Dyson product.

Excellent!!

Hi Dan! Thx for sharing. What is the replacement gear part number / name and where did you bought it from.

Thanks! I have a Casablanca fan with a wall remote with the same problem. I cut wall plate insulation and taped it to the back and sides of the remote. It solved my problem. You are the only one I could find that identified and resolved the problem.

Great video! I ran into exactly the same issue. But I tried the Dyson service store first, they replaced a new vacuum head for free...I recommend to try them first before to do the diy based of this video!

Thanks for the vedio. My Toyota Estima have the same problem for a while. I have to hold the spring to operate the power seat... Can you tell me where to find the proper sping for it?

Yes thank you for creating this video, mine broke and I almost ordered the spindles ONLY not realizing that the gear behind is the one you need to replace along with a new belt. Very informative

спасибо отремонтировал , вселили надежду

OMG...THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO because I have been driving my self nuts trying to figure out what is supposed to be what....and what is wrong and how to get it all apart!!! I have the exact same problem...and no manual. I never would have been able to put it all back together without your video...BUT.....I am still stuck at the part, that I forgot, how to connect the two parts back together and there is a lighter gray half circle clip maybe that I have off from some place and can't remember where that goes and how. I did not see one in your video. It either goes on the main vacuum part or the main brush part somewhere where the two meet.

I left the gear drive housing together and drilled through the parts with 1/8" drill and tapped the holes for the bolt I used to hold the reassembled drive together. Ground the bolt head down till it fit in the brush drive cavity. Make sure to stay centered when drilling. If you fail, just buy the new gear assembly. Make sure you thread the bolt in from the side that will "tighten" if a brush would jam. That way, you do not need a nut on the bolt and it just needs to be long enough to reach the far cavity.

Thanks for this it was the only one i could find that opened up the belt-motor housing. I also got a replacement spindle too but it took so long to get I forgot what the spring was for. From your video i could see around 8:22 that it was held down by the small black button type piece with a screw through it -which thankfully i still have. What still doesn't make sense is, why screw it down? Doesn't that take the tension out of it? It makes me wonder if I'm missing another piece...

That part cost 60$ now. I can buy a used powerhead for the same price. Ridiculous

Many thanks for the excellent video, very helpful. I had ordered the replacement gear, but was stuck trying to get the housing open to replace it. All fixed and running now. Much appreciated.

Tried everything but still brush head doesn't spin😢

Harbor Breeze Fans and remotes are total garbage. I will not buy another fan from this manufacture in the future. They don't support their fans. If for some reason your remote gets lost or broken, they will not continue to support their fans. You will need to take the transmitter out of the fan and install a new one. Our new one only worked for about 1 minute before it too failed to work.

At 2:12 you easily pulled off the ends, if mine won’t budge (there is hair in there that needs removed), am I out of luck and need to buy a whole new head?

Where did you order the replacement part for the beater bar motor assembly? What was it called??

I forgot to mention I have a Dyson Balll animal+. b1s0s0118 is the serial number.

What is the part number for the belt driven gear please, I have the same exact issue and trying to find that velt driven gear and where did you find to buy it from please? Hope to hear back from you thank you.

Great tutorial, saved me from buying a new cleaning head. Thanks for a great video!

wher can i buy the spindle tho

How do you reverse fan direction when there is no switch anywhere?

i have a DC 77 and after i bumped the powerhead it stopped spinning,was wondering if these 2 machines have the same powerhead?looks similiar

Great video! Helped me to disassemble. Comment: on 6:24, T8 should be used. I mostly break the screw trying to use T9 🙂 Other places: T9 or T15 Unfortunately because part cost about $55 on link provided and it is not possible to find this simple part in any other place and full new Dyson head cost $92 include labor, repairing looks less wise :-)

Thanks! You've save me about $100. You looked to be doing this real time, so my hats off to you. To help others, at 6:15 I think it's best to take off those 2 brush rotators so you can slip that out of that housing. Then once that's all out, you can completely take out that the spindle and belt. The video shows him kind of breaking the egg to get the yolk out, but just take it all apart and it's much easier.

AWSOME video! Your video saved me a lot of time and effort figuring out how to fix our vacuum. Did the new gear come with a new set of bearings too?

excellent video and excellent master , thank you very much ......

Thanks for the video. Currently that part was listed at $50. The whole cleaner head assembly was $89 from Dyson, so I went that route instead.

Thank you, this video saved me a few £!

Parts on both links below are out of stock, does anyone have a viable source?

I'd pin the part comment to the top, or put the link in the description. However danngg $50 for the spindle!!! You can get the whole replacement head for $100. Woof.

I wonder if you jbweld it would it pass or would the glue break

Do you have a link for eBay to get the replacement part

wow! $50 for this part!!!

Would this part fit dc66

Would you please share the model for the work light you are using? I am looking for something compact like that. Thanks

*Love it! Keeps the room very **Fastly.Cool** . The manual states it comes with a year warranty and 5 year part replacement. The compressor makes the typical sound...small price to pay for AC.*

interesting video How do i remove the fixing plate off the brush bar UP22 model

I can not find this part any idea on where to purchase?

Thanks for the video and part source,.....can you tell me if this applies to the multifloor2 / U19 ??? Just starting to dig into the disassembly, but the audio certainly matches my unit!!!

This part is built to be broken :)

Thank you very much, this was a problem I was carring for a long time in my sienna 2006. The first time the trouble apeared I got to pay a lot in toyota workshop and didn't work for long. Gracias amigo. Saludos desde México

I'm getting a dc65 animal tomorrow from Facebook hopefully I don't have to do much repair wise I'm hoping that the head and everything works perfectly I think mine will just need cleaned (update) I got the dc65 and it turned out it just needed cleaned so I cleaned it up and it works like new now

Gene Wahl I watched your video to repair my Dyson and it worked very well. Good instructions on disassembled. I also ordered the part from your source and received it in days. Thanks for posting fix.

I bought off the link and followed the video. Perfect! works like new again. Thanks to you and the eBay seller, who was super helpful!

have you found any one else that has this part?

Hey Dan... Where did you find the replacement part? Been looking and can't find anything other that the whole powerhead.

I found the part here: www.ebay.com/itm/Dyson-DC41-DC40-DC65-UP13-DC77-Brush-Spindle-Belt-Driven-Gear-For-Cleaner-Head-/382062164708
