Thx dude,ya help't....

Yeah but how do you get the bag out when it's stuck

What about the clear plastic on the front..can that come off to clean?

Excellent repair described well and easy to fallow

👍

Thank you!!! Worth its weight in gold!🙏

That’s different than my yellow dc14

Thanks, thanks, thanks a lot for the vidéo. It's clear, didactic and... helpfull !

Thank you! Your video helped me change the motor on my old DC19db, which I believe is at least 20 years old - had never changed or cleaned the filters (oops! have done now) but goes to show how hardy the old models are!

Not a fix! Just switch for a new one...

Any idea where you can get the torsion Spring? Mine is missing

👍🏻

Nice to see a video that hasn't edited out the mistakes!

Hi, I love my Dyson DC19, I've had it years. The horror this week when it started to smoke and conked out. I like others thought of the expense of replacing it but then I came across your video. I ordered the motor that came today, £18.00 from Ebay. Your an absolute star. You made it easy to follow your instructions from beginning to end. I've never done this before and you made it stress free. I am a 63 year old woman who is very impressed with myself😁. Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH 😊👍 X

Thank you so much for the clear instructions for cleaning the brush and putting it back together. I almost took my VAX to the repair shop. I'm so glad I didn't.

Help ALEX! I have a vax 6. I took the lid off and now i cannot clip it back on properly. It seems to be "rocking" on something but i cannot figure out what. The lid has several crevices and bumps so impossible to see what is going on... appreciate any help you can offer. Thnku :(

thanks for those tips never knew there was another chamber under the twin filters

Model A85-US-Pme If you have a brush roller activation switch next to the on/off switch (with two arrows, similar to a 'recycle' symbol) then the fault could be the microswitch situated under the purple cover. 1. Turn the power off, take out the entire dust collection assembly to access the two phillips screws just in front of the on/off switch. Remove these screws. 2. Slide the entire handle out of the vacuum cleaner by pressing down the purple adjuster. Place it to one side. 3. Next remove the purple handle adjuster by prising it away at each side using a thin screwdriver. 4. Carefully prise up the purple on/off switch cover with a thin screwdriver and place to one side. 5. Remove the single screw located under this cover securing the gray switch cover. 6. You should now be able to prise the gray switch cover up and away to expose two brown/red microswitches next to the on/off button. Use a small, electricians screwdriver all around the edges to carefully ease the cover up and away from the top of the vacuum. 7. Locate the foremost of these two microswitches. This is the the brush roller operating switch and sends power down to a circuit board just near the brush roller. Inside this microswitch is a spring loaded 'seasaw' that stays down every other press. With mine this had simply dislodged. 8. Very carefully prise open this brown microswitch at each side and lift off the top button assembly including spring and metal 'seasaw' contacts (very slowly so as not to lose the spring). 9. Check/clean/adjust/repair the connections of this switch or bypass it temporarily to prove the fault. 10. Reassemble in reverse order. Note - there is also a fuse soldered onto the circuit board just down near the roller assembly. If this has blown it can cause the same symptoms, but mine was fine.

Bloody awesome instructional video and yes my dyson was blocked where you said they would be - blown away - thanks so much for your great videos :-)

Technical term ‘sticky out thingy’ good vid Cheers!

The motor needs to be cleaned or replaced. It's very loud.

Thanks

Great videos. I have always used HEPA filters but the other non HEPA filter pad - will it give improved suction?

I am not getting any power in mine, do you have a video of how to check that issue? I used to live in the UK but now I live in Portugal and they do not provide service for this type as it is too old for them. Thanks for this video

Thanks

Hey great video. Probably late to the party but can I retrofit a handle with remote control on this one? I have exactly the same model S5211 and I'm talking about the handle that has a battery in it and an on off button.

I have done all that, and I still have the same problem,

I've owned my DC08 for about 16 years and I did clean the Radix once, but Never to this level. But even then, I noticed a drastic change in performance. Now that I've done it properly, I think it'll be like new. Also upgraded to Hepa Filter. thanks for the tutorials!

If that does not work how do we fix it?

Thank you!

Thank you very much! I replaced the motort quick and easy!

Man... Good to see someone knows what he is talking about. Your videos helped me a couple of times before and this one is no exception.

Excellent video mate 👍

Thanks so much!

I can't believe this video was made 10 years ago I hope you are well , with abundance for needs to be met and happy.. thank you!

Bless you Im a senior, hard to see, but instruction was beautiful and visible so that I was able to do it myself thank you so much you probably saved me $150 that I don't have to pay for it which is why my miele was sitting in my trunk for probably 4 thank you!❤ sweetheart.!🙏

Thanks for the video. I have ordered a replacement motor and installed it with your instructions. Now the vacuum cleaner is working again.

My vax machair UCA1GEV1 the brush roller would not work it tried to start but can't . I have replaced the belt and brush motor but it still tries to start but can't any ideas to fix it cheers

I love this guy so much and he looks happier in this video than in his other videos so that made me happy ❤❤❤ I live in Amsterdam in a very old house and use the landlady's vacuum, this same miele. Whenever I have trouble with it, this guy saves me. The joy and passion with which he fixes vacuums makes me so happy. I hope wonderful things happen in his life, and others rush to his help with the same attitude that he rushes to ours. ❤

I have this problem with the tool lid on my c3, would this be the same.

Best video I found about filters, Thank you !!!

helpful, but you don't need to "worry" first hose fitting apart, as once first screw is out, you simply have to turn the ring CCW (assuming nozzle faces away from you), internal tabs will unlock and ring will come off, letting you clean the slip rings/brushes.

I don't have red reset switch my hover not lighting up

I absolutely hate my miele. Expensive and soo many issues in the few years we have had it.

The only trouble here is that you need a second vacuum cleaner to clean the insides of your vacuum cleaner!!

Thank you. Helped a lot. Without your info I wouldn't have managed to disassemble the radix. Very good, that there are people out there, who share their knowledge.

Great video. Just a question - if it wasn't dirty inside the cable unit, what exactly was the problem with the old one? Just wear on some of the parts? Thanks

Have you ever shown a cord rewind repair on a nilfisk king style vacuum?

This video helped change the motor over, thanks you so much. 😊

The amount of times I have watched this alongside cleaning my own dyson has been been a lifesaver! This is gold!
