Problem with Dyson V10 spinning brush motor 

thank you for the tip, i just cleaned the contacts at from the brush and now it is perfect, yesterday i received an aftermarket brush but is not like the original one . i owe you more then a beer

By watching this video I was able to determine a mistake that I was making. I was checking the lower assy for voltage reading and wasn't getting anything so assumed that the main motor pcb was defective. I realized from your video that it requires a load. That allowed me to check and focus on lower unit motor assy. Turned out I had an open circuit because one of the cables in the lower unit was cut inside the swivel assy.

Thank you for your video! I had given up on using my cordless vacuum, but I was able to fix it with your help!

Nice work, clearly explained, fun to follow along with your troubleshooting process

I cleaned the contacts and checked the voltage which didn’t help but what I found was a loose positive wire where the brush head pivots. There are positive and negative fine wires inside the pivot ball which break over time due to repeated movement. I had to solder the positive wire to make a good connection and then it worked fine.

Great analysis. Thank you

Good video - thanks!

Nice video …I’ve got a similar issue, head won’t spin even replacement head won’t spin…I don’t like the Dyson storage method…hanging on the wall with the heavy weight of the head always pulling the plastic sections slightly apart…ppl should remove the head when storing in the charger…I’ll try cleaning the contacts…& pray…

Thanks for the great informative video which is the only one I've found that could possibly be the answer to my problem. The brush on my Dyson isn't spinning and I thought it was lack of power on the terminals you went across. Like your initial check there was no voltage until you put a 2 ohm resistor across which I assume simulates the winding resistance of the motor. Good work !

amazing!

hi I have the same engine that was nailed; I disassembled very delicately piece by piece without breaking anything; I managed to extract the motor from the three guide shafts inside the container (and here I may have made a mistake) after disassembling it I got distracted and I don't remember if the three gears inserted inside the ring gear that rotate simultaneously around the main pinion are overlaid with a zinc and/or aluminum type washer or not; Do you have a picture or schematic of it? Italiano salve ho il medesimo motore che si era inchiodoto; ho smontato molto delicatamente pezzo x pezzo senza rompere nulla; sono riuscito ad estrare il motore dai tre alberini guida interni al contenitore ( e quì che forse ho sbagliato) dopo averlo disassemblato mi sono distratto e non ricordo se i tre ingranaggi inseriti all'interno della corona dentata che ruotano simultaneamente attorno al pignone principale , sono sovrattati da una rondella tipo zinco e/o alluminio oppure no; hai una foto uno schema al riguardo?

I think I need your advice. My Dyson v10 motorhead brush bar is not spinning and I may have caused the problem. My question is it fixable? I cleaned the motorhead attachment with my shower head ( I said I was cute, I didn't say I was smart!! 😂) The water probably caused the damage because after letting it dry thoroughly it wouldn't spin. Is there any hope?

wd40 !! je croyais que wd40 était uniquement for mécanique problème otherwise gord vidéo and analyse

Hi Can I request your help with Dyson 11 motor please.?

Hi there. My head is really clean and nothing in it. When I take the barrell off I can't turn that end piece of the motor - should I be able to? Mine is seized and won't move by hand I'm wondering if it supposed to be free. Thanks.

Thank you, but I shouldn’t need to be a damn engineer or electrician to fix a vacuum…getting rid of my DYSON.

how did you clean it

dyson is so terrible. for the price, it should be all brushless motors. and this is the worst canister design that cant be taken apart easily all to clean and its so prone to developing an odor. i took mine apart, barely, cleaned it, or so i thought, and it still smells bad. the worst vacuum design in the world and ive taken apart many.

These Dysons are pure junk. Work great when new, but after 6 months nothing but problems.

yeah, don't buy these things they are total garbage
