Re: dyson belt question
#1 Today 5:48 pm |

Thanks MOLE: Suppose Vacuumfreeeke wants to drill the rivots off and replace the belts and brush bar; what would that cost him? What is the level of technical skill, ability, and time to complete the repair for a novice? Can screws, nuts and lock washers then be used to replace the dyson rivots? Or will these come loose with use? Carmine D. |

Hey V.F., airblade right its easier to replace the complete assembly than to try and change just the belt on the clutch part,they are riveted together. Now you know why dyson has discontinued this system on the newer machines?.Even when the new clutch and belts are installed it only takes another 4 or 5 months to do the same thing.The machine just cant handle any higher pile carpet, and the brush loading from pet hair or human hair is just annoying, MOLE
Hiya MOLE:
How many of these type of dyson problems do you see now? And what is the cost to repair? Carmine D.

Hello DIB: Hit a nerve, did I? They say the truth hurts. See why? No need for me to edit/change/word smith. I specifically quoted the name you most often use to impugn posters here in brackets in my original post [anti-dyson]. And for your benefit I elaborated further on the notion that truth and facts are NOT anti-any particular name brand save errors and falsehoods. Surely, you have the maturity, wisdom and wherewithal to accept and comprehend the veracity my statements. There is an old school saying: If the shoe fits, wear it!! This shoe fits you like a glove.

Motorhead, Dyson story has and is still being playing out and from what I saw James answered 1st with a reliability/built quality commercial. DIB
DIB:
Did you post the site for this commercial here? If not would you please? I'd like to view and probably others too. As I recall, the BISSELL HH now has a 5 year warranty [like dyson] and the VAX has a 6 year warranty. Carmine D.

My question is, even though the belt is SUPPOSED to last a life time and the user is not SUPPOSED to be able to change their own belt w/o taking it to a Dyson authorized service center, how can I do it myself? Do I have to buy the whole clutch assembly, or can I just get the belts? I'm not worried about voiding the warranty, since I bought the machine used. Any advice? TIA :o)
Hello Vacuumfreeeke:
Did you call the dyson HELPLINE and pose your above question? If you haven't, you may want to give dyson a try and see what the dyson techs tell you. Maybe even an email? I would also call at different times and talk with more than one person. Then compare the information/answers you receive. A DC07 has the same belt/clutch/brushroll set up as the DC14. Just a different soleplate configuration. It would present the same problem[s] as a DC14. BTW, nice vacuum collection. Please, look for a off-line message from me about it. Carmine D.
