+eSpares see that hoover dustette model 100 behind you. the armature in mine had a lot of movement how to I fix this? i dont want to throw away a 80 something year old vacuum and i want to keep it going for another 80 years.
+connor coutts Although we stock spares for machines going back many years we are unable to help you directly with this one. You may find a engineering firm who do electric motor rebuilds can help you, good luck. :-)
Hi well i tried taking my side ball part off and I cannot access any further...there is no sight of the filter....how much more do I delve into the machine as at this rate I might come to the other side of the moon...done the easy filter already...thanks
Hi Penny, it is normally a simple process to remove the side of the ball as shown in the video, if you have delved that far are you sure it is there. Let us know the model so we can have a look.
DC39, I have taken the side ball off but it looks sealed to me?? any ideas. Vacuum doesn't suck well although I have replaced upper filter as described in your video?? any help would be much appreciated...
Ah well, there lies the problem....good job I put it all back together again then!!! Thank you for your help....really impressive. I have my very own technician...!!
My Dyson is a DC39, for the record. Your instruction is excellent by the by, however, my Dyson ball only has star screws on either side of the ball and when undone do NOT allow access to a post motor filter. I'm sure this is a money making scheme by Dyson, exclusively for their US customers.
I have a DC37 Animal. I found that the filter surrounds the motor - but the entire assembly has to be unscrewed and motor wires detached before the filter can be removed. It does not appear that this filter was intended to be replaced very often. My DC37 has just passed the 5-year mark without any problems and the post filter around the motor is clean like new.
