Thank you 🙏🏻 as a woman I found this belt thing perfect I couldn’t figure out until your video now everything is clean and working again! Mines a DC17.
Thanks for the vid..I have a DC 14 that is not spinning. But I believe my problem is the smaller internal belt around the clutch assembly that on mine.. It is hidden on mine by a cover that has to come off in order to replace it. You need a Torx T15 screwdriver to remove the clutch cover. 2 obvious screws and one hidden scree. This is just FYI that their is actually two belts that could cause this problem.
Nice! I found a Dyson in a dumpster a while back that the cord was cut off so I got a new cord and hooked it up and turns right on...after cleaning the brushes and such I realized the brushes don’t spin at all...then upon further inspection I noticed that the pipe valve is missing...would the loss of suction be a reason the brushes don’t spin or is that a motor/belt clutch problem. Thanks for any response.
On that vacuum, you are either missing a belt, or it is stretched too much to spin the brushes. A new belt should be your problem solved, along with cleaning it out a bit in there. 😉
It is not the belt, the motor does not spin. I caught a corner of a blanket...it made the noise like the belt fried and stopped. The belt still is okay, it does not spin the bar which BTW is less than 2 months old and worked like a champ until that 3 second snag which always resulted in need for a belt. WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT??
Not too sure. Does the motor itself still power on and not spin the shaft, or does it receive any power at all? Like, plugged in, power on, and still no noise or anything?
This vacuum does not have a height adjustment. It "sits at the right level on all surfaces," as per it's design. The particular case with this one was simply that the teeth on the belt were worn down to nigh nothing (as is the case with many of these that I have gotten). I repair vacuums on the side, and have done quite a few of these! 😊
