Welcome to another Electrotodo tutorial. Today we are going to work with one of the jewels of vacuum cleaners: an old Dyson, one of those that came with a cable and were robust and efficient. We are going to change the motor, step by step, so that you can bring your vacuum cleaner back to life at home.
Preparing and Disassembling the Dyson
The first thing we will do is remove the tank. To do this, we simply remove it and find a filter inside. This filter, which collects dirt, is not our main interest at this time. Next, we remove another filter that is located further inside.
Then, we lift the top cover to find yet another filter. All these Dyson filters are available in our store , even if they are not original, they work perfectly.
Tools Needed and First Steps
To change the motor, we need a T15 Torx screwdriver. We remove a screw here and there, and use a gadget that helps us remove the wheels. It's amazing how quickly the wheels come off. Under each wheel there are two screws that we also remove easily.
Removing and Replacing the Engine
Once we have removed the wheels and screws, we can access the motor. This old Dyson motor does not have the complexity of more modern models, making it robust and easy to repair. Using four anchors we remove the old motor. These motors with large turbines offer good suction with low energy consumption, a key feature for their efficiency.
Installing the New Engine
We open up the new motor, which is an original Dyson motor. We fit the new motor into place, making sure everything is aligned properly. We put the switch back into place, which is crucial for the vacuum to work properly. Finally, we put everything back together in reverse order of how we took it apart, making sure each piece fits together perfectly.
Conclusion and Final Tests
Once everything is assembled, we put the wheels back on and do a test to make sure the vacuum cleaner is working properly. It's that easy to change the motor of an old Dyson. At Electrotodo, we are here to help you with all your repair projects.
