How to take apart Dyson DC 17 to Clean and Service

As good as these vacuums are, they do require regular service due to the cyclones becoming clogged. The only way to do it is by taking it apart. This can be done by anyone however some unusual tools are required such as a star screwdriver. All Dysons have these so called "cyclones" which are VERY prone to clogging. In fact many of the new models have MORE of them and the worst thing is they are SMALLER which clog much easier. This is a poor design. I will try to do another video explaining this but it is my experience in order NOT to clog these there are several things to do or not do.
1) Never, ever vacuum when there is ANY dampness or wetness in the carpet.
2) Do not get close to the "Max" line on the storage container
3) Clean brush often, especially of hair which gets tangled in and around the brush
4) Try to purchase(if you decide on a Dyson which I question is even worth the cost) get one which has as few cyclones and be sure they are large cyclones, not small which clog easier.
Hope this helps you some!.

Thank you so much for this video. I have a DC17 that is probably 15 years old and while it still works, was smelling musty and gross when I used it. I could NOT figure out how to get the whole turbine part open until I watched your video. Thanks to you, I was able to completely disassemble that section and clean it to remove a decade of disgusting lint, dust and funk. Many thanks!!

I wash in the washer on gentle, put out in the sun on the drive way for the sun to heat it dry. Gave 20 bucks for mine. People are afraid of the noise from something on the belt drive. Thank you for showing how to take it apart.

Thank you for the video! I'm cleaning out my Dyson. I have two Norwegian Elkhounds, we eat live and breathe dog hair, which is why I bought the Dyson. After 3 vacuums broke and failed to pick up their hair (bissel pet -.-) I spent the money on the Dyson and it was worth it :) The commentary was great too, it made me laugh!

Thanks to you, and my neighbor who had the star screws, my vacuum works better than brand new. Amazing. Thank you. By the way, taking it all a part was absolutely necessary. Those cones were completely solid. It was easy to take a part and reassemble per your video.

Thanks for the video. I got my DC18 fixed with a clogged main HEPA filter in the base of the machine. I figured it out because of watching how you took the machine apart. Entertaining presentation! Had me laughing.

I've had a DC17 for a number of years. To clean it, I have been taking it out in the yard and using an air compressor with a blower attachment. I keep going until I don't get a face full of dust, and let it go at that. After watching you video, my OCD tells me to try blowing it out, then taking it apart and see how good I did. I just ordered another brush bar, belt and the filter at the bottom. I'll post again with the results after the parts arrive. X4

Excellent how-to video! I've passed this along to my husband because I'm certain the turbines are clogged up. I've managed with a long kebob stick to get to a few turbines and start twisting the hair and pulling stuff out. DISGUSTING! I can only imagine what I'm not getting. Cheers to a job well done n4ktz!

Watched your video last night, my wife had just told me she was taking our Dyson Animal to the repair shop because it had lost suction and I chose to check RU-vid. Thank you for your realistic and accurate information on how to fix the loss of suction. My cleaner's cyclones were totally blocked and there would not have been any way to clean it without disassembly. Thank you for the time you took to make this video, very helpful!

One thing I did different that I noticed from another disassemble video of a newer DC17. Once the 2 bottom screws are removed, placing a 2x4 under the middle and pushing on either side. This pops the plastic tabs out without breaking.them. Overall pretty easy to disassemble and reassemble. Dont mind cleaning it every 2-3 years.

I inherited this model left behind by the last renters and God only knows what they were vacuuming up (heard rumors they were a "grow house" Here in Colorado it's all the rage) Anywho... Thanks for the informative and quite humorous video tutorial. It was like watching one of those zit popping videos ewwwww ! I think I'll wear some protective gear: dust mask & rubber gloves. PS I too have always loved taking things apart, my record player never worked again!

The origional Dyson Dual Cyclone was very easy to clean, but they are much more complicated to clean now, although they do filter down the dirt to a higher level.
@aw1335
@aw1335 5 лет назад
Thanks for this. Aside from not having a long enough torx wrench to remove the last bit of cyclone, I was able take everything else apart and clean it all out with water. After drying and reinstalling, suction restored! This DC17 is a great vacuum but I'm afraid that the internal design is very complicated and apparently not intended for easy service. For those mechanically inclined, it's not bad. The hardest part for me was removing the large grey shroud. Now that I know where the three tabs are, I marked them on the outside using a permanent marker for future service.

There is a product that you can buy in a beauty supply called brush delight it dissolves hair mix it in a five gallon bucket I put the hole dyson part in it submerged all the way upside down let it soak follow directions on the brush delight it will dissolve all the hair in the unit after soaking remove it and put it in a fresh bucket of clean water to dunce it wear eye protection and gloves it is a acid remove it then using your sink sprayer finish ringing it fill it shake it drain it repeat several times you’ll be amazed how much dirt will come out and it will return your vacuum to like new suction Happy cleaning !!!!!!!

I don't know if I missunderstood what you said, but the dirt does not enter on the top of the chyclon part, thats where the air gets sucked out. The dirt enters on the side hole of the bottom part.

@bradleywilkinson9805
@bradleywilkinson9805 6 лет назад
If you empty the canister when to hits the MAX line and maintain your filters you don't need to do this. There will always be some dust/dirt inside the cyclone chambers because it's a VACUUM. My DC17 is going on 12 years old and has never needed to be pulled apart like this.
@bradleywilkinson9805
@bradleywilkinson9805 6 лет назад
To the DC17 owners here, there's a service bulletin for the DC17 that has a new gasket design which stops this from happening. Dyson will make repairs out of warranty free of charge. Mine is 12 years old and I brought it in for the recall. Repair tech said it was well maintained compared to the hundreds of DC17 he's had to service. Repairs were $0.

I believe the cyclones clogging was a result of the ill-designed bottom rubber seal. It would ride up and larger dirt and hair would go through the upper cyclones which were digned to separate fine dust from the air to be exhausted.

@vacuumtests9225
@vacuumtests9225 9 лет назад
Excellent video. There are multiple videos in the youtube showing clogged Dyson cyclone assembly. So I guess it's not uncommon that these mini cyclones clog. Latest Dyson Cinetic models have rubber ends in the small cyclones to prevent clogging. So Dyson knows this problem. DC54 has 54 mini cyclones so if those clog you are pretty much screwed up. I really hope the new technology works.

I simply empty then put a little dish soap use my water pik shower head and point it directly into the openings until full then get it on the right angle and shake it around and dump then repeat until water comes out clean all the hair and gunk comes right out use pulse on difficult spots I used a mild dish soap and hot water be careful not to burn yourselves , Then afterwards I stepped out side and shook out all access water and then let sit over night close to heat vent , and it was like new I do the same with my dc07 i do same process for all parts and allow adequate time to dry, Just saying that's what works for me
@PresidentDonnaJTrump
@PresidentDonnaJTrump 6 лет назад
thanks for the video. I have had my dc17 for almost 11 years. I don't allow anyone to vacuum without dumping it and wiping the dust off of the inside and out. I recently purchased another one for 10 bucks at a garage sale, the lady said that it didn't have as good a suction as it used to. I figured for 10 bucks, I didn't have a lot to lose. I am going to take it apart and if it works, then I might sell it or keep it for a spare in case this one goes out.

Great. thanks for the help. I watched a couple videos before I tackled this myself. ONE NOTE: on my unit during reassembly I realized that I did not need to remove the screws that were removed first with the long screwdriver. I could have simply popped the base off and then removed all the screws without any extension. I dont know if they are all that way or if I have a different cyclone. I am a hangman and a mechanic by trade and I am a large strong individual, and I had to put enough force into turning the base off that I assumed it was going to snap. However my unit came away undamaged and like new after cleaning.

Torx T-15 is the screw size used on the DC-17. Mark all pieces with a Sharpie before taking apart to make an alignment line. That will really help in putting it back together.

Just used this video as a reference for my dc41 animal, there is a screen around all 16 cyclones, i got the canister in 2 pieces and DANG was it dirty, i wont take it apart to the cyclones because there are like 16 screws in there, but i soaked both parts and washed each cyclone with our shower sink attachment, it took maybe 15 minutes total and WOW, new vacuum. This vacuum has amazing suction and it seems like the cyclones dont get clogged

If you have a Flashlight.you can see inside the unit just to see how dirty it is inside... * turn the chamber upside down* shine the flashlight in the intake hole at the top of the air chamber.. *by the handle* You will be able to see *from looking into the bottom* I'm pretty sure you can draw the crap from the hole itself..buy a A flexible grabber pick up tool..to grab the debris and pull i out :)

That is a great video, but it looks like the gasket on your cyclone is off. It's an older version which is why the inside has so much dirt and debris.
@d.e.b.b5788
@d.e.b.b5788 10 лет назад
Curiously, I did that. Worked pretty good, but there was still some junk inside, probably stuck because the previous owner used it on damp rugs. So after cleaning it real good and using an etching agent, I'm trying a non stick coating Meteor 130 and see if it works before doing anything else like replacing the parts. Should be interesting. Oh, I also used some silicone glue to keep the gasket in place better.

@metal422life 2 года назад
You didn't have to twist the cyclone area I just really kept going around as I put force downwards on that area and it pushed right out It didn't like need any twisting it just pulled out. But I must add that the very bottom portion where it gets it skinnier with the black rubber thing around it if you turn that thing just it'll only turn so much honestly but you turn that clockwise and that undoes the tabs on the inside and then the rest of it pulls right apart no damage
@carlosrios7088

what does this mean at 4:35 "This part in canister with 2 holes can be seen is actually 2 cones with holes. This part has been replaced by a part with 1 hole and a large opening." is there a part number? is there a reason you would want a different part?

Dyson works much better after taking it apart and cleaning it like that! Be sure to watch my video on the NEW replacement part for the DC17. If under warranty and you have old part Dyson will replace the whole canister with new one. New canister is much less likely to get clogged. The inside is redesigned.

It surprises me also that you did not burn up the motor. It had to have been running hotter than it normally would. Other vacuums are less reliable even. My sister had a non Dyson vacuum with a bag and all these years it ran fine and now it smokes and we can not figure out why. We even had it apart. My only guess was the motor may need replaced. Anyhow they threw it out, it is not worth a possible fire hazard.

@d.e.b.b5788
@d.e.b.b5788 10 лет назад
Or you could just buy one that don't have that problem. Dyson's principle works great. It's when he tries to reinvent the wheel when things go wrong. Airwatt rating be damned, my Fantom Thunder picks up eeverything and in 15 years all the fine dust winds up in the dust cup, not the hepa filter, so unless you have allergies, you don't even need a hepa filter. The simplest 2 phase cyclone idea simply works that good. With this, I bought a dc17 cheap and now have a great vacuum.

If i bother do all this will it get rid of the awful smell that my Dyson spits out. Bought a used Dyson Animal which works great, but smells like wet dog. I washed the canister unit and got a ton of junk out. But just like you mentioned in another video one shouldn't do that since it'll just worsen the smell. I am guessing the unit is full of hair and junk further up. Anything to get rid of the smell.

I have had a DC 15 for 15 years or more. You don't have to completely take this apart. I put it in the bathtub with dish soap and bleach and wash it out! I run the water through it until it's clear. I have just replaced both filters. I let it dry out for 24 hrs without putting it together. You DO NOT HAVE TO TAKE IT ALL APART LIKE THAT! OY! Vey!
@brianzaborowski2724
@brianzaborowski2724 6 лет назад
Yes, you do if you want it cleaned CORRECTLY. Do you seriously think your way would get all the shit out that was in his?? NO WAY!! Your way of soaking it is just asking for trouble because it will only clog faster when any dirt/dust instantly sticks to whatever moisture is left behind. All of those internals WILL NOT dry out after 24 hours, you would be lucky if it dried in 24 DAYS without complete disassembly!

+Qasim Mir All Dysons have these so called "cyclones" which are VERY prone to clogging. In fact many of the new models have MORE of them and the worst thing is they are SMALLER which clog much easier. This is a poor design. I will try to do another video explaining this but it is my experience in order NOT to clog these there are several things to do or not do. 1) Never, ever vacuum when there is ANY dampness or wetness in the carpet. 2) Do not get close to the "Max" line on the storage container 3) Clean brush often, especially of hair which gets tangled in and around the brush 4) Try to purchase(if you decide on a Dyson which I question is even worth the cost) get one which has as few cyclones and be sure they are large cyclones, not small which clog easier. Hope this helps you some!.

+n4ktz this problem never happens with any of the other Dysons only the dc17 due to a problem it had to seal not the actual design,

+n4ktz They make the cyclones smaller because they offer a higher air velocity which makes the cyclones more efficient.

It does and it makes for great marketing. However, it is a double-edged sword. One runs the risk of hardened/stuck dirt at the cyclone tips once one sucks up ANY form of moisture, more of these and you have loss of suction & clogged cyclone tips. There's a reason why you never see commercial dyson vacuums

I have the BEST answer for cleaning the cyclones out, Take your Dyson out in the lawn, and run your leaf blower through it at max speed, from the top as well as the bottom, This is a messy job especially if it blows back in your face :) but sure beat taking it apart like that. Done in less than 5 minutes and looked pretty damn clean too :)

These machines are not worth it. Extremely loud, needs a lot maintenance and bin emptying is super dusty + this clogging problem. Just get a good bagged vacuum. Much quieter, much stronger airflow, really little maintenance & bag chance max once a month + modern hepa bags don't lose suction when getting full.

The easiest way to clean a dyson vacuum is to perform a reverse flow cleaning which reverses the suction and blows all the holes clean, I've own dysons for years and the reverse cleaning works 100% of the time and you never get dirty.
