I don't know how much money you saved me, but I couldn't have replaced the clutch assembly without this video. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@marshallcurtis3251]

I have a Dyson DC 14.Your video was the first one I found that instructed how to take apart the clutch so that I can replace the large belt (Dyson 05361-01-03) without having to spend $30 to replace the whole clutch. Cheers!

[@davidturner5645]

Great how-to video! I needed to swap out the damaged power cord on our DC07. After watching this video, I decided to do a full refurbishment (filters, cord, brush, and belts) and cleaning. Our DC07 is ready for another 10 years now. Thanks!

[@MyRavenstorm]

This is the best video of Dyson vacuums I’ve ever seen my hats off to you sir 😋

[@lmontes09]

This instructional is very good. My wife has accumulated 3 Dysons (DC33's and DC65) now I replay this each time I need to service our vacuums. Thank you for your help.

[@Nalski2007]

I had a general service and belt replacement to do on our DC07 after it had been used in our dusty workshop. Found it very helpful to watch your video first, thanks.

[@vacuumsetctacoma]

Nalski2003 You bet.

[@bencrossley7109]

Five Stars! Thorough without being patronizing. Gave me the knowledge and confidence to fix mine.

[@jbleeg]

Great video and "how to". I pulled my DC 07 from a dumpster and with your help have been able to completely refurbish it. It was completely clogged with dust inside the cyclone hopper, and the washable filter. At least a pound of dirt was in the cyclone area. Washing this out with a hose in the yard did the trick. There is something satisfying about recycling this vacuum.

[@mentaljaundice]

Excellent video. Took me along the journey of getting to the dead motor and back out again.

[@bigbassn86]

OK, I've viewed a ton of tutorials on youtube, and almost always I'm disappointed. Not this time. To me this video is the standard barer of tutorials. This guy is good! Thorough, concise, complete. I have renewed faith in my fellow man. prior to this vid I was convinced that nobody knew how to record/post a COMPLETE video on youtube. Thank You for not only quelling my cynicism? but also, sharing your vast knowledge of the dyson machines, giving me confidence to tackle both belts on my DC33.

[@vacuumsetctacoma]

enigma We really appreciate that. Thanks.

[@BigBadBobby1234]

So I was about to sell my DC07 on eBay for parts and some guy writes me and says "Watch this guy's video." While I think it's SOooooo kind of you to provide this for us "common folk", it looks like buying a new vacuum would be easier!! Brilliant video for the peeps who love their workbench and have the patience. I will need my laptop handy and at my side if and when I try this clutch replacement. Forget about changing the darn belts, it's easier to just buy the clutch with the new belts and go from there. Thanks Again Brother - You are one of a kind ! :-)

[@paulbailey3463]

Good video have just replaced the skeleton on my DC14 which entailed taking everything off the old broken skeleton and putting all back on the new one. I could not have done this without this video

[@puterbac]

Excellent Video. New German Shepherd literally attacked the vacuum cleaner and broke off multiple plastic pieces. Your video saved me breaking other plastic pieces during disassembly and reassembly. replaced the Cleaner Head, Valve Carriage (Pain in the you know what), Valve pipe, and a couple of rubber seals. Thanks Again!

[@tiffanyking3764]

this is amazing. Thank you so much. I have had my dyson for 10 years and it is in great shape. My son got his first apartment and told me to get him a dyson. He knows I shop estate/garage sales. I found a dc07 animal for 10 bucks at a garage sale. I wanted to give it a good clean/servicing and you saved me a load of money. I am going to get mega love from my son for this one. You rock sir. :)

[@prestonptak4416]

Thanks for a great tutorial. I was able to fix my DC07, which was it's first repair ever after almost 12 years of use. Great video & very thorough. The ole Dyson is running like a champ again. Thanks again!

[@nigelnathan5199]

What a brilliant video - excellent camera angles and clear audio. Using it, I just put a new motor in a DC33 with no trouble at all - just wished that I had the proper belt tool! Thanks for the invaluable help.

[@matthart7733]

Can't thank you enough for the help i got from this video. All that was wrong with mine was the smaller clutch belt was broken. Ordered them online and came within days. All back together and working.

[@meganhodapp3134]

Thank you for this! My issue wasn't covered in this video, but I learned enough about how to take my Dyson apart to fix it myself! Keep up the good work!

[@vacuumsetctacoma]

Megan Hodapp Thanks Megan

[@HaikuAutomation]

Great simple complete video from someone that clearly knows what to do in the real world of vacuum maintenance. TY.

[@louisamoorescreenzealots2870]

Thank you for this informative video! Thanks to your help, I was able to replace the entire clutch myself! And trust me, I am FAR from handy. It took me over 2 hours but I did it. So thank you!

[@tammyt5799]

This is the best and most informative video on Dyson's I have ever seen. I've looked at so many and they only cover certain things. Well done job on covering everything!!! Keep up the Good Work!!!

[@davidscottkrause1]

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to fix my vacuum!

[@dougk8103]

You Sir, are an Artist!

[@ArianaM1975]

Thank you. I need to order the belt tool, but I'm on my way to repairing this!!

[@sfuller94]

Great video! Thanks for posting!

[@rkruetzfeldt]

Woohoo, I fixed it. Now my wife thinks I'm a mechanical marvel. Thanks

[@robertdorman4150]

Video helped me change my belts on my DC14....thank you so much.

[@johnutz6275]

Thank you for the great tutorial!

[@HeidiLittman]

thank you so much. I couldn't figure out how to remove the lower filter to change it.

[@xen4217]

i have just fixed my clutch belts on my dyson dc33, thank you

[@jeanevans5319]

Thank you, I found this really helpful and managed to replace the motor on our DC33 by following the guidance. Saved me about £70 ($100) so really pleased.

[@mikenike610]

This was a big help. Thank you!

[@kathybaker6616]

Thanks for the help. Haha, now my husband thinks I am a mechanical marvel (as per Robin below)!

[@Pako7108]

Thank you very much!!! Helped me a lot!!

[@captainstamina5610]

Very helpful. Thank you for making the video.

[@pookyptp]

thanks it worked like a charm.. saved me$$ on a clutch replacement...

[@Chalky.]

Very helpful because I was given a dead DC07 and without a guide it's been a freaking nightmare trying to figure out how to disassemble, so now I just need to get in and hope it's just a loose wire.

[@bobking1297]

This is a very good video. Obviously well planned and thorough. It gave me the confidence to repair my own and enough knowledge to get it done properly. Thank you very much.

[@hochbob]

Well done! Thanks for posting.

[@lynnrawsonfourseasonssothe5971]

Thanks, you just saved me a service call.

[@DanA-ix7ms]

Now I know what I did wrong: Washing the cyclone went really slow because I didn't play the Benny Hill Show theme song. Won't make that mistake again. Great video! Well engineered machines-they're kind of fun to work on.

[@kevinnicks8194]

Thank you, we were able to mix our DC14

[@batona00]

thanks very comprehensive explanation

[@Onlooker71]

Thank you! Very helpful.

[@erikvanslyke]

Thanks for your very clear instructions! You made it very easy to repair my Dyson.

[@marcellabailey2874]

Great instructions!! Thanks!

[@adamyen1]

Great detail breakdown, I used this to replace the back duct frame assembly which snapped on the bottom. Skip the front head assembly which was a bad mistake since it prevented me from clearing the side hole.

[@christophergolunski4699]

Well done - good, clear and comprehensive explanation and good video shots as well. Thanks.

[@kat4animals004]

Excellent!! Thanks!!!

[@richardhansen3672]

wow, this guy is good. He covered pretty much everything. Great video

[@lucyj7234]

First let me say, this was an awesome video, very clear instructions. Thank you! This is my experience and we are DIYers: Oct. 2018. My Dyson DC07, duct assembly was broken near the top where hose and wand get attached. Dyson Canada no longer doing repairs on these out-dated machines. But I just had it rebuilt and serviced maybe 4 years ago and I love this workhorse of a machine. Anyway, I scoured KZbin for “how to install duct assembly” and found nothing! So, I checked out this video, and although my specific problem was mentioned, I thought I could learn how to take the unit apart and put it back together! I watched the video and then helped Hubby go about replacing duct assembly. There were a number of cuss words, some watching instructions a number of times, walking away with great frustration and returning and 3 1/2 hours later we turned it on and DONE! We did encounter some issues and had to take apart (not completely) a few times. A few things to note, the part cost (US$106) plus taxes and shipping $160 CDN. it took a total of let’s say 6 man hours. Was it worth fixing at home???

[@48paulnet]

brilliant tutorial, you were right about that clutch knob! Many thanks , great stuff!

[@mbfeldhs]

Thanks. Good video.

[@OldDood]

A very good instructive video. Good Job. The 'Warnings' on certain areas of the machines is valuable information. Our 16+ yr old Corgi (they have a double coat and shed a LOT) passed away recently and right when we were going to vacuum afterward the Brush Bar stopped working. He was a fantastic pet and part of the family for so long and this DC14 Animal did the job. We have owned the DC14 Animal since 2005. I figured out it had to be the Clutch since the Brush Bar simply stopped working. So I am having a local shop pick ours up in the next few days to fix it. It is nice to 'see' how it is done though. The cost will be $50.00 for labor and $60.00 for the Clutch. To me this is very acceptable since that machine has been a God-Send for all these years. However, we did purchase the newer Dyson Animal 2 ($300.00) and it seems to be working fine. But, I do not want to toss out the older one. So I am having it fixed and will give it to our daughter. Thanks again for your Time and Effort to share the knowledge on these machines. If your shop was closer to us I would have had you fix our DC14 Animal.

[@michaelmc999]

Thank you very much. I was able to replace the clutch on my DC14 following these directions without any problem. I just used a screw driver instead of the tool and it worked but the tool probably would have been easier. Overall, very helpful.

[@phill2010uk]

Thanks for the video. Replaced the clutch on an old DC04 that I got given.

[@staiboy1]

very well done

[@ludekzahradnik3277]

could not do it with out your help thank you

[@wildough]

Thanks for sharing this! I had a shattered whatever-the-heck-the-front-piece-is-called and it came apart in pieces. After a couple of years, I found a replacement part but since then it's been sitting on the workbench laughing at me. I was never smart enough to figure out how to get it back together.

[@DVD927]

Excellent

[@evo1126]

Great video, replaced my clutch n back to cleaning =( lol

[@keith5386]

Couple tricky parts, but your guidance was very helpful. The vacuum is fixed and working like new. Now if you had a training video on teaching someone to actually look and clean the drum from enough hair to make a wig, that would be helpful. That couldn't possibly have anything to do with a stretched belt, could it??????? Naw.

[@Louishyde]

Thanks - quite fiddly though and took me about an hour.

[@martyne984]

really useful but ended up with a bit left that didn't appear on the video ?

[@lindagatchell2965]

OMGosh, I am never buying a Dyson again! What a pain in the butt to replace anything on it!! I need a new vacuum, any recommendations?

[@vacuumsetctacoma]

Linda Gatchell Linda--give us a call.

[@yfiddler]

I would like to know how to hook p the hose on the dc33

[@stephaniecross4629]

Thank you! My husband and I can now fix our Dyson ourselves and not buy a brand new vacuum!

[@Anubalfer]

I've taken apart the clutch and am debating whether to replace the whole clutch system or just the belts. Where could I get the belts? Do any retailers sell them?

[@Anubalfer]

I can't find the belts for DC33.

If you are giving out phone numbers, inviting visits and services - might be an idea to mention which part of the known universe you are in? I suspect I may live on a different continent. But useful vid, thanks.
