Dyson TP02 - Time-lapse of teardown to fix the oscillating issue

Pilot test of teardown time-lapse videos.
We were gifted a spoilt Dyson TP02 by some friends (thank you!). The fan would start oscillating the moment it was plugged in. In order to continue using the fan, we opened the Dyson TP02 up and undid the mechanical coupling of the oscillating motor and the fan body. This is not the best solution. An ideal solution would be to unhook the cabling for the oscillating motor on the PCB.
This left the fan free moving, which was not ideal. In order to solve that, we use tape to introduction some friction.
Not an ideal outcome but it works!
Pardon the blur on the right side of the camera. Production quality will be improved.

The black access panel you removed on the base gave you access to the two screws on the oscillating arm, just turn until they appear, unscrew and the base separates.

Thanks, this helped me clean my unit.

Your video is very messy… but… works. 😂 I got the same Dyson fan model TP02, same problem, oscillation keep turning non stop. Anyway, after watching your video, help me unscrew less just to remove that spare part hook on the oscillator. Now my TP02 back to normal just no more oscillation which is I don’t need it too. Thank you 🙏

I'm glad it works! haha I did not actually intend this to be a repair video. but the amount of DMs I get make this worth it! hah

How did you get the top piece out before taking out the fan.

@@johnyi7413I watch his video and follow step by step, if your fan also got the same problem … works for me
