Dirt Devil Power Express - Service, Cord Replace, Motor Removal

[@ChrisRussell-hy6bu]

I’m so glad I found your video! I was just about to throw away my Dirt Devil EasyLite Cyclonic vacuum due to a badly frayed power cord. Thanks to your super helpful video my Dirt Devil works like new!!

[@bryanaker4338]

I just replaced my power cord after watching this. Great instructions!

hi, life saver video, i should take pics next time i forgot in which position a couple of the parts were supposed to go back in place, myounhave big hands and they block like 40 % of your much appreciated work, perhaps o top view angle would work, just a suggestion, best wishes and thank U.

Good video! I remember when I took this exact machine from my neighbor back in 2018 and I don’t know that it had a cut cord. It was a decent machine that I wanted to fix, but my parents forced me to throw it out. 😭

THANK YOU

Nice!

[@sarahmarzina]

good workthe vacuum is fix so now you can cleanit up

[@sd906238]

New replacement cord is $20-$25 for a $50 vacuum.

Well done. You made it look so easy. My wife was complaining that it wasn't working. I pulled the bottom plate, cleaned everything up, removed TONS of hair and things around the roller but did not clean the end caps and mine does not spin at all like that. So I put it together and it still started smelling smoke. So perhaps this is part of the issue. Besides that, any other advice on servicing it? Great video! Thank you!

Also just to let you know, the handle is installed backwards

[@johnmoore9992]

Does the black wire go to the blue wire ?

[@christiemanussier8992]

For cord replacement, it probably doesn't matter who the manufacturer of the cord is, right? And, for a low-end cleaner like this one, the amount of juice running through the cord should be fine in any case (as long as the replacement is for a similar or better machine)? Thanks so much for posting.

[@hanksgarage_]

Manufacture doesn’t really matter. Just have to make sure it’s a vacuum cord. I have a box full of scavenged vacuum cords from broken vacuums I pull cords from. But if you put in vacuum cleaner cord on Amazon you’ll find the right ones.

[@TheRegynay]

Thanks, that answers my question about the cord 😊

[@newwavepressure6478]

Cord is short guess ima rip mine open 🙏

The 90’s American-made dirt devils and even the mid-2000’s Chinese-made with Ametek motors were much better made than the new ones. Production moved to China in the middle of 2003. The early and mid- 90’s models had GS Electric motors. The late 90’s models had mostly Ametek motors.

HELP ive looked at every dirt devil powermax xl video i could find and NONE show me where the belt access door goes or to put it back. Stupidly took it off without takin pictures for future reference, to clean it all the face parts and cant for the life of me figure out how it goes back on😩😭🤬!!

[@scorpionbradford8518]

U skipped where u put the belt back on ! Why ?

[@hanksgarage_]

Wtf are you talking about it went on at 10:49

[@hanksgarage_]

No response?

[@diamondpaintingwiththebesties]

❤️❤️❤️

[@jasonvorhees4421]

That's a easy lite, not a power Express but there the same thing. these things are really not worth fixing but I'm just surprised that you still fix em

[@hanksgarage_]

They’re worth it due to the ad revenue from KZbin in people wanting to find out how they can fix their machines. I donate them locally after I’m done with the videos.

[@jasonvorhees4421]

Oh
