Fitting replacement motor in Dyson DC23 

Thank you for this. My DC23 Turbine Head suddenly stopped working today after close to 15 years of service. I figured I needed to pry that wheel off to finish disassembling it, but wanted to make sure before I started applying brute force.

2:15 I didn’t find it too hard to pry the cooling duct from the motor if you want to save a few quid. I just slipped a wide chisel under the fixing washer and levered it against the plastic edge of the duct. Cheers for a thorough tutorial mate.

With the help of your film I was able to give my vacuum cleaner a second life. Thanks!

Thanks so much for this video. It gave us the confidence to replace the motor on our Dyson DC 32 when it burnt out after 12 years of service. saved us money and saved us having to throw the whole thing into landfill. Really useful.

My Dyson DC23 just blew its motor. I'm in Australia and actually sourced a motor from the U.K for $210:00AUD free postage. Thank-you for your video Sir - it will be immensely helpful for when the Motor arrives.

Great video, helped me put out DC32 back together after waiting for the new motor 👍🏻

Thanks! This is the second time this video saved me precious time. Once for changing the motor, and once for replacing the cord.

You Sir, are my hero (at least as far as is comes to Dyson repairs) ! Thank you so much for this exceptional video. No frills, no bull, just usefull information !!

Many thanks for a very helpful and instructive video. Particularly appreciate your thoughtful and easy to follow presentation and tips.

Very useful !! Thanks a lot, just completed it, it took around 1:30 h and now I have a nearly new DC23.

Thank you very much for your video. It helped me quite a lot to try it. Specialy for taking of the roler.

Thanks a lot. With your explanations i ordered the good article and quickly succeed in replacing the motor with any issue . I guess I would have lost a lot of time without it and perhaps I wouldn't have tried to do it. The way you explain is excellent and the idea to begin with the already disassembled Dyson is very efficient for the global understanding.

Thank you for explaining the process for professional removal of the wheel and removal in a sequential order. Cheers.

Just replaced the motor in my Dyson DC32 which appears to be identical to the DC23. May thanks for the video.

Excellent video on replacing and removing motor and bucket I give 10 out of 10 .

Thank you for this very helpful video. I understand that the reason the motor fails is because the post motor filter gets clogged, so this part ought to be replaced too? Are there spares available for this circular HEPA filter, do you know? Thank you.

Great job, thanks! I have just finished fixing my DC23 by following your indications.

Good instructions. The back wheel takes major prying to remove, major pressure to install. The hose assembly is best removed by removing all 5 bottom screws, then prying the bottom plate up a bit, then sliding the hose off. A bit fiddly.

Thanks. Your video is so helpful!!

Thank you so much for showing me how to open a DC23. Well done.

Cheers for this. Great video. I didn't need to change the motor or even the brushes. Mine is now clear of 2kg of cat hairs and weird smells. Now if only the seals were flush...

This video is terrible, mate! 😆🤙🏽 But also terrifically informative! I was about to chuck my favorite vacuum and thought I’d have a look on RU-vid. This made my day. Now all I’ve gotta do is find a US spec motor. Just finished replacing the motor on a $2100 Electrolux and it wasn’t half as complicated as the Dyson. But after watching your video I just might pull it off. Thanks very much!

Thank you man. Your video was of a huge assistance to me. Got my DC32 running again :) Greetings from Rotterdam

Thank you, immensely helpful video. I replaced my same model with it.

I wish you had shown how to take it apart. Especially the wheel on the other side of the hepa filter.

GRACIAS !! DESDE MADRID SPAIN.

Thank you for posting your video. It helped me a lot, and kept me from buying a new Dyson at 2-3x the cost of a refurbishment.Replaced the old motor and filters, and cleaned out the cyclones.I wonder if you have ever experienced a slightly toasty smell from a new motor, or that a new motor would bind/not spin freely by hand, prior to the first activation/run?

Thanks so much for demonstrating this. You saved me over $100.

Thank You So Very Much. Helped out a lot. CHEERS

Sehr hilfreich. Danke.

Thanks for the vidéo red from lyon France

Thanks great vid. This helped me out a lot. Looks like I just need new brushes.

Hi, Great job - appreciate your efforts. Can you tell me what size Torx screwdriver I will need to dismantle? Any other tools required?.

I'm repairing a 10ish yo dc23 and I was stuck at disassembly, it has a broken bearing

Very detail instructions, thank you.👍🏼

Hi. Thanks for making this video. I need to replace the power cord on my Dyson DC23. It kept cutting out, and then when I wiggled the cable around half way up, it in and out, then I saw a spark in that area of the cable. Now it doesn't power on at all, so I'm guessing the cable is defective (?). I'm unsure how to get to the connector to replace the cable. If you could help that would be great, thanks

We followed your video exactly but now our cord won't wind in?. Could you advise please?

I removed red and black wire from the circuit board now I can not remember which goes to which pin. Please help

Helpful, i like!

Can you put a link to where you got the motor. Dyson only list the more periperhal components. Also thanks for the advice regarding motor vs dyson unit. I was going to go cheaper but I get what you're saying about more ease and peace of mind.

Thanks a lot for sharing!

Good video indeed but it did not show how to disassemble the unit. The video started by a totally disassembled unit and went through the procedure to install new motor. Although you mentioned that you will show the disassemble at the end of the video; nothing was shown. Repair usually start by disassembling unit followed by changing defective parts and reassembling

I did the same stuff with a DS1 years ago but the 2nd motor died after a few months from overheating...seems the spare parts are pretty shit sometimes.

Where can I buy a new motor and the tool to remove the dyson screws?

Hi ..can you help me how to open its side wheels as i am not able to open ..i tried alot....

dziekuje.

Thank you for the video. My DC23 produces a very annoying humming noise and I deduced it coming from the motor area. Anyone had this issue and knows how to remedy it? Thanks in advance.

My hoover has a circuit board .. cant see one in your vdo

Thank you very much

Good vid, but where's the Hepa filter?

Te falto poner la pieza blanca alrededor del motor

you know what would been awesome? less useless explanations of 20 mins of english gentleman blah blah and 2 more minutes of a dissemble video.

Starting the video with half the vacuum disassembled isn't much help
