MAAAAAAAAAAAAAN THANK YOU for this! If it weren't for you, I'd smash this thing into pieces and got another vacuum! THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!

[@user-fc6mt6ej5f]

Couldn't of stripped this down and reassembled without this, so a huge thank you.

[@joeriordan0746]

The dyson dc07 is probably the nicest dyson in terms of colour schemes. The colours that they came in are lovely! My favourites are the pink, blue & purple,Green & purple and this red & purple one!

[@rossjolliffe]

Thank you very much for taking the trouble to make these two videos: tear-down and build-up. I do not think I would have succeeded in replacing a motor without them!

[@timothyfosberg6408]

Bravo for a wonderful disassembly and assembly of the dyson dco7 sir. Thank you. Your a master at you're craft.

[@kevynr4072]

Great and thorough strip down that gave me the confidence to tackle a rebuild of my own DC07. Some of the plastic parts had become brittle and had broken so I just bought a replacement chassis and transferred the old bits over. Now, cleaned up, it has the suction of a like-new machine. By modern standards the DC07 may be chunky and brash but it does the job better and cheaper than many modern vacuums. What a shame they no longer make them. Thanks Biko

[@Retro_andy_1977]

I like your cow giving birth line when putting the top of the cyclone back together Sam,I’m sure James Herriot of all creatures great and small would agree 😂superb video

[@jackierudd2010]

Dam it ! Only just found you, last week I paid £25 to have a broken wheel replaced, I could have got one on ebay for £4 but didn't have any idea how to replace it, BUT I do now !. This Dyson was bought to replace my brilliant all original Hoover 612 which was an amazing machine, only reason I replaced it was because if you accidentally knocked the bag a cloud of dust escaped, I was told I could wash it but it made it worse 😕 . I tried to donate it with the original tool set in it's original box but unfortunately no body wanted it, I thought somewhere like "The Black Country Museum" or other places like that would like it but sadly I couldn't give it away. Thankyou for your fantastic videos. I've subscribed, I think I might need you in the future 😊

[@beko1987]

Shame to read about the 612, it might find a home on ebay with postage (the handle comes apart into two for ease of packing!). Their really hard to convert to an inner bag which doesn't help...

[@only1ydk]

Thank you for the set of informing videos regarding the DC07, my purple animal is now in mint condition 😁

[@addamsmith]

Dc07 is one of my best Dysons I ever used

[@jayambermsp8000]

Yep. No doubt about that.

[@margaretlaycock42]

That was fantastic! Thank you for putting it up so we can do it! 😄

[@mikebordeaux8218]

These DC07's are really an engineering marvel. Great video with all the needed detail.

[@beko1987]

Their great aren't they! For many people their still all you'd ever need 👌

[@n.j.r.fisher4257]

Great video & together with the tear-down you’ve enabled me to replace the motor on my 20yr-old Animal! A couple of things need highlighting though; 1) the small seal on the motor has unequal lugs (on mine at lease!) so care needs to be taken when refitting to the motor so it alights correctly with the corresponding cutouts in the case; 2) refitting the deep clutch cover screw is easier if you do it first, offering the cover up to the hole in the main chassis so that the screw slips into the channel which then eases alignment. Other than these minor points a brilliant vid which has hopefully given my DC07 a new lease of life!

[@ellenmcnamara4432]

I want to say thank for your video’s. You have helped many times with me fixing my DC07 Animal model. This vacuum is wonderful, it does the job it was made for. It’s getting old now(I purchase this vac back in 2008) and she is still going and picking up dog hair and cat plus human hair all these years. I’m just now replacing some parts. And there not big parts either. The parts I have replaces have been was the clear canister due to poor repair, the wonder Elderly lady was up in her years force the old canister from the bottom to open, hence reason for new canister. I also replaced gaskets. Tutoring via Videos on how to cleaning the cyclone, and how to put together the handle cap again. So thank you very very much from a lady across the pond 🙂

[@Chele_Rocks]

Thank you so much! Invaluable to fixing my quite old but much beloved DC07!

[@beko1987]

Excellent glad it helped! They might be old but their still excellent 👌

[@Mudge07]

A huge help in replacing the motor in my DCO7. I certainly wouldn’t of tackled the job or accomplished as easily without your thoughtful directions. As it was a maintenance change I didn’t extend it to the useful tear down and clean sequences you applied to machine viewed here. Those rewinds at slower speed also identified the corresponding parts to get the trickier jobs done with least fuss. I still managed to get to the clutch drive belt cover on but the hidden screw access wouldn’t align. After looking at the whole cover I noticed that the plate adjacent to the clutch selector switch was outside the purple changeover cover; you do show a functional check in your video to highlight this! But retracing those steps was not too much grief. When refitting the brush assembly, as an alternative, I used a trampoline spring puller to extend the brush belt; which many folks may have to hand. It does require the feet to brace the upturned base as you tension the belt and, with the brush end plate removed, slide in the brush itself.

[@SarahncarlUrmstonMarshall]

I forgot that you put the clutch in after the small belt on the guid thats where i was going wrong love you,re videos due

[@bbrown9763]

You helped me take it apart & now, showing me where all of the parts go. I didn't even have any extra parts when I was done! Thank you!!

[@DV-il9fb]

Thank you, I have had my Dyson for 16 years. I was getting ready to take it for a deep clean at a shop. With your video, I was able to do it myself. You are fabulous 😘

[@samdrury4922]

This video is the perfect complement to the disassembly one. Everything went back on, just as it was supposed to AND our old gray and purple DC 07 is back in proper "Sir James Dyson, does your vacuum have the proper amount of suction?" order. Thank you for the wonderful step - by - step video. Easy to follow, easy to complete, and an easy success. Thanks!

[@jayambermsp8000]

You did a good Beko! You should do more vacuum stripdown on video.

[@nofuckerz]

Thank you so much! This helped a lot with reassembling my DC07 Origin 😊

[@scottd143]

Thank You Biko, that and the disassembly videos were brilliant. Got my DC07 running better than ever!! Cheers

[@beadsandbobs]

I was so pleased to find you and the stripping down of the dc07 . I will try it and hopefully it will work for me!

[@mikebordeaux8218]

How did it go for you?

[@bobbiobanion7706]

Thank you, this video, the disassemble video and a forum helped me fix my beloved vacuum. Appreciate the hard work and simple break down.

[@fredflinstone8798]

Thank you, your tutorials are amazing, I would have thrown my dyson out if it hadn't been for your tutorials, I changed my motor and after that the clutch quit working but I watched another one of your videos and tore down and rebuilt the clutch, again thank you very much!

[@Retro_andy_1977]

I've taken in a dc07 origin I may need this info on Sam so thank you for the video - like that colourway especially!

[@rangermikesnaturevideos4197]

[@nancymuller8418]

well It took a few weeks to get all the parts & ended up replacing the clutch- but we're as good as new- thank you.

Thank you

Just had a free Dyson dc07 given me and just bought one for 10er going to make one good one out of the two

Can you tell which way the post moter filler fits please

[@daveg6948]

Magic :-)

[@robertcharlton7097]

Great

[@Jrer241067]

Brilliant video, has helped me on my refurbish of a old DC04 that was being thrown out. Do you ever replace motor carbons when you refurbish. As it take quiet a bit to get to the motor ,I generally do as well as belts, seems logical !!! As you alluded to parts for older models are getting more difficult to source,where possible I fit genuine parts, however the long hose seems to be difficult to source,and the ones I’ve seen have a different end ( that goes into Handel) so no sure on compatibility!!! any ideas or feedback would be appreciated. Keep up the excellent content 👍👍jason

[@jcooper1009]

Hi, My Dyson DC07 fell and the top of the cyclone broke. I replace the very top part and throughly cleaned the cyclone and it seems fine. In addition, The top of the duct assembly cracked in several places where the hose and cyclone attach. Do I need to strip the entire unit down to replace the assembly? Are there any other parts I should replace when I have the unit apart? I was planning on replacing the filters. Thank you for the giggles and all the useful information. It is wonderful to see someone who is so passionate about what they do.

[@michaelm3414]

I find these videos very helpful - I've changed filters etc etc in my Dyson DC07 - but it still has one problem I can't work out. I turn it on and it works good - sounds great. BUT - after about 10-20 minutes it develops this ("echo-ee") sort of noise - as loud as the engine. Its hard to describe the noise - but its in addition to the engine. The suction still seems ok and all else seems to work - but the noise is annoying. Its like I've put the Dyson into a higher (wrong) gear.

[@sbauman67]

Hi @beko1987, thank you for the tear down and reassembly instructions, they are spot on. I am having difficulty getting my clutch to work. The front part of the Dyson will not stay engaged to the floor. When the handle is moved up or down the front of the vacuum follows not staying in gaged with the carper? Please help

[@neilallington1356]

Yes great instructional video. I did do the strip down and rebuild. However although thins went back ok and does work I don’t get any suction from either the wand or the brush motor end. Any suggestions as I have checked all the obvious locations?

[@beko1987]

Has the changeover valve and it's seals gone on correctly? And do you have suction from the chassis where the cyclone goes on?

[@jayambermsp8000]

Beko, the forward lock on my DC07 keeps going out of place when fitted. Do you know what it could be? 15:12

[@abir.chowdhury]

Good job Sam! When's that video on the DC14 experiment?

[@beko1987]

Soon, need to start filming it next week really...

[@walruspolish]

Thank you for this, was a great help! Although noticed that I've snapped one of the plastic mounts in the top of the cyclone where the three black screws go 😱 hope it's okay!

[@beko1987]

Any time, glad it helped 👍 I've snapped those before. They qbond back on nicely, and as long as you don't go swinging it around by the cyclone handle 2 should be fine. Once the cyclone is fitted to the cleaner it's held in more with the chassis too, so the 3 screws don't do as much work I guess

[@walruspolish]

@@beko1987 being in 4k was a definite bonus too. Thanks, I'll see if I can find the broken part and bond it

[@nigeltindle9716]

Hello, I have got a Vax Ultima hoover and I have noticed that the motor is more or less the same as the ones used in some Dyson models. The dimensions are exactly the same so I would like to ask you if this motor for Dyson would be ok to put into my old Vax hoover?

[@mattf5207]

Hello. Can you tell me if the duct assembly, I think some refer to it as the “spine” is the same for the dc07 and dc14? I have a dc07. The assembly literally cracked in two. I have a dc14 I picked up on the street for donor parts and wonder if it would fit. The duct assembly is going for 120 dollars and don’t want to spend that. Thanks for the video!

[@codyjohnson2301]

Beko1987 can you do a dyson dco4 strip down I love your videos and I'm a subscriber and I'm your biggest fan

[@archiemacaulay7538]

Nice video Beko, you make fitting wand release clip so easy. My replacement clip will not clip on. Any tips please?

[@beko1987]

I just centre the top notch, make sure the spring is where it needs to be, then put one side of the bottom pivot on, then push the other wise on. The clip will (should) flex slightly and slip on.

[@TommyCullen-VacuumConnisour]

ha the metal bracket in none cluched motor housing versions is a pain in the arse lol. if you knock it with the belt drive it completeley buggers up and you have to start again, which is fine but when there is slippery fairy liquid on your hands it is not fun.

[@beko1987]

Especially when you think you've got it and it moves mid way through pushing the motor in! Bend the tabs out slightly so it's a REALLY good fit in the housing... Doesn't move then 👌

[@TommyCullen-VacuumConnisour]

@@beko1987 yea that is what i did in the end

[@anthonyocarroll5630]

Can you advise what size or type screwdriver for top cover of barrel please

[@beko1987]

T25 torx, but some are Security torx (tiny metal post inside the screw head). Security bits fit non security screws though 👍

[@TheVacuumWizard]

any tips to get mine going better? it just dosent adjust to the floor i have to put my foot on the head for it to go down to my carpet but the second u pull back the head lifts up and dosent clean my low pile carpet anymore :( i dont know what to do

Take off the internal hose and wash it or buy a new one if you like.

Ebay, search for dc07 bin flap and youll have lots to choose from! May have to swap the rubber gasket from your old flap though, depends if they come with it or not

[@detectingyoungstown330]

Thanks so much for the reply. Just bought this gem yesterday for 20 bucks but the suction seems weak on the vacuum end may need cleaning

[@nigelnightmare4160]

Thank you. I can now fully refurb my 2002 DC07 animal and replace the burnt out motor. Up till August 2023 when the motor gave up the ghost, it has been used regularly in the three homes I've lived in since 2002 and has been relatively trouble free. Even if a little high maintenance on the brush roller and filters, but that's to be expected when used in homes with open fires and having pets as well. I'm rather surprised it lasted for 21yrs given their reputation for poor build quality. If it lasts another 20+yrs it should see me out.💀👻😈
