Dyson Cool Fan Disassembly for Cleaning. Not fun. 

I wish I knew how filthy this fan would get before I bought it. At this price point it's outrageous that they don't provide easy access for cleaning the thing.

You should do another video to show how to reassemble it

Seeing a bladeless fan being cleaned like this and all the troubles you need to go through while disassembling it makes me appreciate my conventional electric fan more.

Thank you for a how to video that's straight to the point, no blabbering on about this and that forever. Exactly what I wanted to know. Thanx again.

This is by far the best Dyson fan disassembly video I have seen. Good job👍🏼

Fantastic video where the action did all the talking. Helped me tremendously. 🙌🏽

I appreciate it, man. Got mine apart and back together and it runs so much better now. Definitely a hassle to clean it. Impressive you where able to take it apart with only one hand lol

I just used my Dyson vac with the pet hair scraper to clean it . I mean you really left it new. Thanks for devoting so much time to showing us what’s possible! We appreciate you.

I appreciate the effort doing this video that must’ve been so much to clean and record at the same time. Thank u

And for all of us who will never clean our Dyson fans this way I solute you!

Made my fan work like brand new! Thank you! 😉

Very helpful,thank you. After cleaning mine I added a generic wet/dry shop vac filter to the outside covering the holes. No noticeable lack of airflow, Now there’s something trying to clean air before sucking it in.

Great video. For those wanting a assembly video just start at the end and go backwards 😅. After I cleaned it ( what a pain) I cut a pair of my husband's boxers and use a strip for an outside filter. The anemometer shows the same speed with or without but the filter I wash out weekly (cat hair, dust). A coffee filter works too but isn't reusable. No more current draw on the motor (used a kilowatt meter.)

Straight forward guide, easy to follow and helped me to finally resolve the most irritating vibration noise at anything over speed 5. Turned out that Dyson themselves hadn't put the motor assembly spring legs into their slots during production, with that irritation fixed too, now as good as brand new and no more vibrations! Thank you very, very much! (FYI anybody wanting to do this but you dont have a T8 bit, i got by with watch very small headed screwdrivers just fine). Additional note: when i put mine back together i immediately got an F2 error code on the display, this code means motor friction, check the rotor on the under side can definitely spin freely with no friction, mine was caught on the lip of the plastic guard, popped it back through and worked immediately.

Thanks for this video! Its really helpful. This will be the first and last dyson fan i would purchase. Even their vacuum cleaner last for less than 2 years. Overpriced and not durable at all.

Thank you. I have 3 and all need this deep clean.

This video was fantastic and very thorough. I’m not looking forward to doing this but am looking forward to this damn fan working again

This is what they don't show you on the commercials, that thing was filthy

Done mine, such a easy job to do and makes fan work better

Nicely put together video; good work!

What a fan! Now I wanna get rid of mine

Thank you for this video, I was looking at buying a new Tp01 from Dyson, but after seeing how much maintenance it needs...... I don't want to add something this time consuming to my already annoying list of "stuff" to maintain. Thank you again.

Excellent video. Thanks so much for sharing. I had a hard time trying to figure out how to clean my dyson fan.

These certainly aren't "blade-less!" The design is flawed in two ways. First, it's built upside down. The inlet should be at the top where the air is cleaner, not the bottom next to carpet. Second, the inlet needs a removable filter of some sort so you don't have to take the thing apart.

Success (finally) Could not have done it without this video. Thanks!

Good video. Note that the smaller filter is likely to disintegrate if you wash it with any force. Mine did and I just tossed it. Didn't make a difference. The hardest part is getting the wires back in under the assembly during re-install. Just be patient and mark the assembly with a Sharpie to show where the white feet meet the inside of the cylinder. Also mark the cylinder so that when you put the fan assembly back in you know you are aligned. I had the AM08 or AM03 not sure what the differences are, but the internals are the same as this video.

youre AWESOME but the video stops suddenly without completing I am so disappoingted as you made it so good. Now I'm stuck

DYSON AM07 Cool Fan Cleaning. Great Video of Detailed Cleaning

Had to switch off the air-conditioner for one day as the ledge where the compressor rested needed repairs. So, on my AM07, I went from my usual 6 speed to 10. Ran it for 8 hours through the night. Then suddenly a loud grinding sound. And the fan stopped. Received an F4 message. Switched off the unit and unplugged it for one minute and switched it on again. Received and F2 message. Disassembled. Not that dirty inside. I had maintained it reasonably well. But boy, the motor unit was super hot. Even after one hour, it was still very hot to the touch. Will update again when I have allowed it to cool sufficiently and reassembled it. I'm just wondering, if this fan was made to run under cool conditions with the air-conditioner working, doesn't that defeat the purpose of a fan? Or was it a coincidence?

Thanks so much for this video. Otherwise my family will continue breathing in dust everyday. Dyson made millions from us and they can't even guide us to clean a decent fan. Conventional fan is still the best. No more Dyson product for me.

Nice video presentation 👌thank you

Just cleaned mine today, took it apart and used a tooth brush to reach those hard to reach spots

Excellent tutorial!

Do the “how to clean dyson” people not know about compressed air? Really would save a lot of time.

OMG. I want to do it on mine. Thinking about to make a video just to remember how to put it back together after disassembling it. Even with this video (BTW, the best one I watched so far), I’m sure I will mess it up 😅. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻

This helped me a lot. Thanks a bunch

I got a couple of free ones now I know what to do to clean out the nasties. Probably only good if they are free.

you say a lot by not speaking, Awesome and thank you

The worst part about this fan is the tiny vent holes on the outside that get clogged and are hard to clean

Great instruction. For me it was just in time. Thank You for your service.

Dyson fans are truly a hassle to clean. Didn't even know how dirty and filled up with completely black soot like dust the inside was until I opened it up to clean the fan today...

Very not fun to do it, but certainly a satisfactory process. P/s: for me the hardest part is assembly as it didnt show exactly how it was done. You tend to forget how things were when you dissemble

Set of artists brushes, unused. Clean a million things with them! And set of cheap paint brushes, all sizes, excellent cleaning tools. Keep them away from the ones used to paint with, I use a quick tie to keep them all together so I can quick find the right size.

thanks will clean my fan ow for the first time since i bought it in... i think 2016 i never opend it up only cleaned it from the outside

Thank you so much for sharing this. Our fan was making a weird sound on power-up and shut-down. I thought that the item at 3:06 had a broken piece when I took mine off. I see that you also have that area the same as well (it looks like a piece broken off around the wider bottom edge).

本当にありがどうございます。助かりました。

I disassembled my am02 yesterday. What a PITA! Definitely didn't make it easy to clean. Mine was full of cat hair and clumps of dust. Yours seems to be missing some rubber pieces that hold the fan assembly inside the other cylinder to stop vibration.

Gave you a LIKE you really deserve it, lucky I have not taken the bottom part out, its tough for us ladies hope you can tell me where the continuation is please please

Was given one from a storage unit. Tried to turn it on smelled like a cigar. Had to open the whole thing and cut my own filters . Thanks

Mine will stay squeaky clean on the outside and abominable inside what you can’t see can’t upset you as long as it puffs out air I am happy!

thanks for the video

I'm writing an article on the pros and cons of bladeless fans without first hand experience. Every other article I've read says they're easier to clean than conventional fans.

Thanks for the video. Very helpful. Can you post on how to change the power cord?

오. 제가 찾던 영상~~^^ 감사해요^^

I'm not going through the process. I physically can't do it. Its not mine but I wanted to be appreciative by, at least, cleaning the filters. I'll share this video with the owner of the Dyson fan.

Good job!!👏👌

I followed this video start to end I have a question is the orange wire connected to

Thank you ❤

Want a filter on the outside vs cleaning the internal parts? Take a shop vac foam filter, cut it into 3 equal pieces, and slide one of the pieces over the inlet holes. Ill add a video when I have time. Cost is about $2-3 per piece and you can clean them or trash them after becoming dirty. So far so good on my tests. I did make sure to clean the internal fan itself as in this video before installing the new filter. Using a filter on a dirty fan won't work very well. Please note, adding a filter adds resistance to the motor, so it could potentially reduce lifespan of the motor and nullify your warranty, if any.

good job!

thanks

Great video! But where's the rest?! It ends just as you're removing the bottom....is there a part 2?

I had to wade through many useless videos to find this. Most of them are just vacuuming the exterior and the outlet of the base, happily oblivious to all the gunk inside.

친절한 영상 고맙습니다. 그러나.. 사기전에 이 영상을 봤더라면 사지않았을텐데…😢

How long have you been using this fan before cleaning it?

Wow… and here I thought cleaning the outside was enough, I have to literally take it apart to clean it which is honestly a big inconvenience for the price that it is…

Thanks for the video but just a a small suggestion - you might want to invest in a tripod; or ask someone to hold the cam for you :-)

Oh God! not really fun. Thanks for this video I get the idea but, the problem if I can remember to assemble it back 😀

GOOD JOB, THANKS!

OMG, thinking we have the same pos fan AM 07? After only one short season of heat. It starting making the sound trucks make when backing up, you know the beep beep beep sound, but thankfully it sounded far away, just did a surface clean around all those holes at the bottom with a brush, now when I turn it on, it sounds like a plane engine starting up (what the heck is going on), so I called Dyson, only to find the closest repair is about 40 miles from me (live in San Francisco, don't have a car), what a joke. Did yours ever make strange sounds, trying to figure out if I should just toss it. Great job, Thanks for the demo.

This is even worse than getting a standard ceiling fan....

Thanks a lot buddy

what screw driver did you use for that also where could I buy one?

Hi I have the same exact unit without the remote, on/off button does nothing, fan is all cleaned. how did you separate the bottom part from the motor , I want to check the current to the on/off button I removed the middle screw at the bottom so now the circuit board is loose from the motor but still can't completely separate maybe 1/4-1/2 inch separated seems as if something is still grabbing it any suggestions thanks.

clean the parts and vacuum the dust is still possible/doable, but is there a way to oil the motor?

I own this fan too, wonder this cleaning solve the noise issue?

Hello, thank you for your video. Now on my machine it's displayed F2 .. Why ?

Thank you for posting - can tell me what the foam thing you washed is? Do I need that? Mine disintegrated :( [I've had my dyson a long time]

I love this, no narration. I guess with smart phones etc folks can’t string a sentence together anymore. There is really no need for the expensive education system so let’s get rid of it. At least no whacko music to deal with.

I’m pretty sure I recommend a Dyson with a filter so you don’t have to clean the insides

I have a standard Dyson tower fan. It won't turn on anymore and is not supported because it is "retired." Do you think that being dirty is why the unit won't power up? I'm willing to clean it up if it will keep it out of a landfill.

When I washed that sponge thing, it dissolved

And the owner of this company is a multi-billionaire? The fan costs about 5 times more than a conventional fan and after 3 years despite cleaning the intake regularly it stops working without a complete disassemble and clean. How much do they say put into R&D??? What a joke. Thanks for the vid BTW

Uhh can do assembly back?

were you able to fully assembled it back after, and did it work?

I followed ur way. Now I’ve put them back but it’s showing F2 error msg and it’s not working..

2:49 It takes me 10 minutes to unscrew half a nail, why is it so hard?

I did this and assembled my fan. Now when I turn it on it makes a faint whistling noise that is unbearable :/

How do you assemble it

I hate Dyson now. Hate myself for buying it. After 3 years, It is blowing fine dust when operating, imperceivable, but one can tell by all the stick on dust, spray-imprinted on the out-tube. Wiped it and it comes back tomorrow. Time to clean.

I did this and my fan won’t turn on :(

Toothbrush. Small long toothbrush.

My wife says to me yesterday "So my sister says she wants to get a bladeless fan. They're cute and don't take up much space. What do you think?" And my response was "Fuck no!!!" She says "why fuck no?" I asked her if she recalls me cleaning the metal blade fan we have, she said yea (i clean and lube our fan yearly). So I said "that's how dirty it gets and you can see the blades. How fun do you think it'll be cleaning that bladeless one? Cleaning that hoop is not gonna be fun."

Thanks for the vidéo. Could you please tell me what's the model of these Dyson fan and the buying year ?

Well thats just the fan you should look in the head. If you have a heater one take a good look its where the heater elements are and despite saying it wont put out a burning smell it does. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY A CHEAP NORMAL ONE NOT A GIMMICK.

請問內裏有冇鋰电磁？

I just took off the bottom and used the vacuum cleaner. I'm not going to do all that washing like you. If it does it again, I am throwing it in the trash

I have the purifier version

오늘 청소하려고 하다가 다이슨선풍기에 실망했습니다 이렇게 더러운걸 청소도 마음대로 못하는걸 비싼가격에 구입했다니 미쳤습니다

Does anyone know where to get replacements for the little black foam filters? The Dyson website doesn't show any and I couldn't find any on Amazon or elsewhere.
