Hey what's up internet. So, i got this Dyson 33 from our pile in the building where people leave their freebies. Guess what, its broken. It won’t turn on. Not to fear! Ive done some serious surgery on vacuums in my day that resulted in a second life for many of them. Is your vacuum broken too? Im going to try to help you and show you how i fixed this vacuum.
This is the second vacuum that i have repaired using this same fix so this is likely to be your problem as well. Im partial to finding broken switches on electronics and looked at the switch however found nothing wrong with it. I grabbed my multimeter and realized that the switch was not getting power however there was power to the outlet in the wall. So, i went with the good old “the plug has gone bad” diagnostic and replaced the plug. That fixed it… so how do you replace the plug? Safety first, be advised that you must be safe! Do not work on electrical things when they are powered or plugged in… ok. First you have to buy a new plug. If you have access to a home improvement store like lowes or home depot those are good places to go. I bought my replacement plug off of amazon.com for around 3 bucks. I must say the quality is cheap but the plug does appear to be mechanically secure upon my own inspection. Inspect your plug! Also, its regular that store bought plug ends come with directions so you should have a look at those as well. Maybe they have more information than this video.. You have your plug, then you want to cut off your old plug.After that put the cap end deal on the wire. After that you want to strip the wires… Note that my plug has a ground prong. I have another video showing how to do a plug replacement, on another vacuum of all things, with no ground prong. Click the i in the corner of your screen to see that either now or at the end of this video. Moving on, once the wires are stripped you want to attach them to the new plug ends. Ground prong is usually green, black would be the power and white is neutral. Here is a schematic of what wires go where. Once you have attached the stripped wires to the proper ends assemble the plug. I recommend tying a knot in the wire like so, it gives the plug a little more strength, especially when and if someone were to pull on the cord when the thing is plugged into the wall. That is not a good way to unplug plugs but its a thing people do… This plug has a kind of weak sauce end piece that grabs onto the wire so i really had to tighten down on it. Along with that the screw that is there kind of sticks out so that could end up giving you a mark or cut if you yoink on the thing… whatch yoinking it ok…. So yeah, its done. Check this out.. It works!! Please let me and others know in the comments below if this has helped you out. If you liked this video there is a button for that. If you want to see other videos like it there is a button for that. And if your just bored, cruze my channel. You may learn a thing or laugh at another...thing.. See ya later internet, i hope that helped.
