What kind and size of screwdriver are you using at point 1:07 - I cannot even get going because I cannot get the screws to budge!!! 🤬Don't want to give up but I don't want to ruin the thread of the screw with my botched attempts.
Many thx for the step by step, screw by screw :) explanation. Ordered the part off Amazon for about $20.00 and installed per your video. Works like a champ thx!
are all of the dyson uprights mostly the same as regards this? I have this problem and i have the DC75 and was wondering if the steps would be the same pretty much.
Overall, VERY helpful. Thank you! 2 small critiques: (1) volume is VERY low; and (2) sometimes you would say things like "and put this here" while your hands were in the way and I could not see the "this" or the "here." But that said, this was great. I especially like that you said what size bits were needed for the screws. Since most bit kits, including mine, do not typically include a T8, it was good to know what size I needed.
All good points, to be honest I had no idea almost 35,000 people would watch the video. My son and I made it very quickly. If I had any idea this many people would be watching we'd probably have done a better job.
Hello, thank you so much for the video. It was very easy to follow and informative. The only minor thing I would add to this is when putting the replacement hose there is a slot in the back that the hose slides into. Again appreciate the help.
Thanks so much for your time and willingness to share your knowledge and expertise. Your tutorial has helped many people to change out this defective part. Thanks again.
Hi Andrew. V clear and constructive vid. This may be covered in comments, but not only am I having major league problems with the “fiddly screw”, I’m struggling to get any purchase on the easier one above it (if that makes sense) and the earlier one which secured the pipe to the machine. Just seem to be turning forever. Guess I’ve already knackered the thread? Thanks S
@@andrewjones586 Thanks. God knows. Got the fiddly one in eventually, so it’s just the other two. Don’t know how a I could have knackered thread, as just unscrewed and tried to retighten.
Would never had figured out how to disassemble without your video! Vacuum repair store said they could not fix because part is on permanent back order. All internet searches confirmed that. Only place I finally found part was eBay.
What a great help best video on here on how to do this job, even an absolute novice with a toolset did it and I’m feeling proud with myself 😁 thanks pal 🤌🏻💯 and now the spiders don’t stand a chance
I'm glad you got it changed! To be honest Dyson products are not the easiest thing to start fixing! They always seem to be designed for maximum complexity. What you going to fix next...?
Very helpful information. Thank you. Top tip - when putting self-threading screws back into their holes - turn the screw backwards until the threads click then screw in normally. That way you don’t risk it cuttings new thread and stripping out the hole. One that happens the screw will never screw tight. :-(
Just what I was looking for. I need to do this to fix my D40. Found in fact that the Change Over Valve was disintegrated between all the coils, and getting no suction. Thanks for the detailed steps. Parts ordered!
Thank you! This was a great video. Very descriptive and helpful to change the COV. Was quoted $160 for the part plus labour from Dyson. Ordered the part from Ebay for a fraction of the price. Appreciate it!
Thank you so much for this I have just ordered one from Amazon. I'm unsure though what screwdriver you use. Is it a torque or torx or does it not matter? Amazon has torx sets for £6.and it does say t8 and t15 in there But not sure if they are the right ones. Appreciate any help thanks:)
@@dawn1549 we were the same, we were about to get a new one and then I realised the changeover valve had a hole. It's easy to change when you know what to do and very cheap in comparison! No point making Mr Dyson even richer! Let me know how you get on!
