Dyson Cool Tower Fan Cleaning and Maintenance

After watching this video, I decided to forget about cleaning it right away. It is too complicated for me 😂Thank you for sharing.

[@KRTLyfe]

No problem, I haven’t had any issues with mine since creating this video.

[@RibasFilms]

😂 I was thinking the same

[@DoctorMortar]

Thanks mate you saved my life after a "what the F4" message. Dismantled and cleaned 2 fans with your very clear instructions.

[@KRTLyfe]

No problem, I’m glad you found this video useful!

[@mumaceda]

Very helpful. My fan was super dirty. No wonder i couldnt feel any air anymore. Good job! More power to you!

[@KRTLyfe]

Glad it helped!

[@bw6884]

Thanks so much for your most helpful and fun video! I jumped on KZbin and hoped for an answer for the Dyson Cool I’ve had for 5-6 years… I guess it was time for a cleaning! It worked…and I’m now a happy follower! Thanks so much‼️🤩

[@KRTLyfe]

Glad you and so many other people found this vlog helpful. We did this in between filming another video that we never posted. I wish we would’ve done a better job on this one. Thank you so much for watching commenting and subscribing! Hopefully you find some other vlogs on our channel that help. Thanks again.

Much appreciated, cheers.

[@joeg7899]

Thank you so much for this video Man!! I’ve had mine for a few years now and I always wipe the bottom intake and the inside of the ventilator, but I know there had to be dust inside on the fan unit because I can’t get to it. Figured I would make this a weekend project maybe and try to figure it out but had no clue as to where to start. So I went to KZbin typed in my model number & how to clean, BAM! up came your video, watched took apart cleaned reassembled, thing works like a champ couldn’t be happier!! Appreciate you and your camera person very much! Thank you 😎

[@KRTLyfe]

No problem glad the video helped you out! We run ours 24/7 during the summer months and its been working great minus that squeak it developed after two years. We haven’t had any further issues since posting this video. I was thinking about servicing it annually but on second thought I’m just going to wait until it squeaks again.

[@robertknapper2130]

How did you clean the vents on the body of the Dyson?

[@robertknapper2130]

The holes are clogged up

[@David-pu6hx]

Thanks, Same issue, squeeking at low settings. You made this very simple. Well done!

[@KRTLyfe]

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching commenting and subscribing! Oh and BTW ours is still going strong and squeak free! I think ours is at least 5 years old now.

[@SamanthaVimes]

Thank you! And WD-40 really should give you a sponsorship-- we have some of the regular, but I'm going to get us some of the Dry Lube type to make sure it doesn't attract dust. Two of our fans got the weird noise thing going at the same time, so this video was perfect to show us what to do.

I purchased one of these very recently and am vacuum cleaning it regularly where there is the air entrance. I hope it will help a little bit to keep the dirt inside away, so that I can delay the cleaning and maintenance as shown on this video. Thank you for this instructions!

Thanks for the steps by steps! It’s very helpful! Just one question. I went to wash the internal foam and it disintegrated. Any fix for that? Or do you know where can I can a replacement for the internal foam? Any advise would be very much appreciated!

[@KRTLyfe]

You could try to order it from Dyson, or you could just make one. I would go to a craft store or Home Depot and find a big enough bit of foam and shape it to the fan.

[@sd8560]

Thank you man.I just love the internet for getting help with this stuff :D I was wondering how I could clean the inside of the long "headpart" where the air comes out. Will try it like that! Blessings from Switzerland!

[@gracegoldmith8381]

hi, how long would you let the tower dry after running it under the hose? thanks

[@KRTLyfe]

It’s just molded plastic, there is nothing special of electrical inside of it. I think we shook it real good and let it dry for 15 minutes maybe.

[@kongmanyin1083]

Why I follow all the step and come out with error code f2, it did turn on speed 08 for one second and turn to f2 again with some noise, sounds like the fan blade hit something, is any body facing the same issue? Pls help if know

[@KRTLyfe]

I would recommend disassembling it again and checking to insure you put everything together correctly.

[@coolbeans3099]

Hi! I followed this guide and now my fan doesn’t wanna blow out air. The rotating thing works where the fun can move but it’s not pushing out any air. It also says “f2”. I looked at websites and they said to off and unplug the machine for 60 seconds and if still not working, repeat for up to 3 times. Can you help?

[@KRTLyfe]

I’ve never seen that issue with mine. I’m sure F2 must be a code for some type of system issue. I would figure out what that code means first . Then I would take the top off(the air multiplier) inspect everything to make sure you reassembled everything correctly.

[@KRTLyfe]

Check all of your electrical connections to insure they are all making contact. Sometimes pins inside connectors come lose etc.

[@coolbeans3099]

@@KRTLyfe alright!! Thanks so much!

[@KRTLyfe]

@@coolbeans3099 no problem I hope you get it sorted out! Thanks for watching, commenting and Subscribing!

[@vindolanda6974]

I had an F2 error also after cleaning. F2 means their is insufficient power to the fan motor. I checked all the wiring that I could see but it seemed fine, and there are no visible connectors. I had no idea what to do, so I took apart the plastic housing which holds the motor. There is a connection plug inside, which is also inside its own little black box. It seemed fine, not loose at all, but I disconnected and reconnected it (also i don't know how it could get loose as the box surrounds the plug). Anyway the fan motor started working again, so I don't know if it was the plug or just a result of moving the wiring around as I was fiddling with everything. I think the message is be very careful how you handle the wiring when cleaning and make sure it doesn't get pulled.

[@tinatbeau5065]

What size T-thing did u use to unscrew at part three!? My smallest one is a T10 and it doesnt fit, its too large

You can let it air dry, or blow it our with compressed air.

[@justinf8649]

[@punkrockprincess604]

I’m wondering this too. I did it about an hour ago and I have it angled downwards with a fan blowing into it. I’m nervous to use it tonight. Will a couple hours with a fan blowing into it work or should I leave it overnight?

Dear Brother, First of all thank you for your comment. I am from Africa living in Scandinavia, I have the same kind of Dyson Cool but since you are moving so fast in the video while opening and cleaning as well as assembling it back. it was and is difficult to follow you. if not making a new video can you please send me as attachment video clip in slow motion of course if it is not difficult for you. None of the other KZbin video's are as good as yours, unfortunately it is extremely difficult to follow, in the beginning you start slow and with clarity but then you speed so fast it is impossible to follow. You sent me a non-reply message and for the reason I decided to ask you once again. Sincerely, Markos Lemma

[@lingth]

looking at the video, i cancelled my Dyson Fan order.. just get a regular fan if it takes a screwdriver to open up to clean.. it's not worth it.

[@KRTLyfe]

I agree, for most people a regular fan will suffice. For me tho I burnt through regular fans every 4-6 months. I run my fan almost 24-7-365. This is the only fan I’ve owned that can take that duration and still function almost flawlessly. Everything else failed in less than 6 months across the board that’s not a commercial fan LOL.
