OPEN ME UP! Dyson V11 and V10 High Torque Head Disassembly and Clean

Very helpful. I went as far as pulling the motor control pcb out as ours had a mysterious fault that the head motor would spin initially then not restart unless left for a while. When I pulled the pcb out it was wet. Careful discussion with the principal user confirmed the head had been cleaned out with a wet sponge. Drying in a warm place cured the fault.

So helpful. I actually used this and then took it a couple steps further to swap out a bad motor. This was invaluable in putting it all back together. There were just too many steps to have it memorized just from taking it apart once.

[@1959Aeroflyte]

My motor works but there is a little circuit board in the tube behind the motor and that is bad. When I apply power directly to the motor leads, after the circuit board it works but no power is getting through the board. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to get that circuit board out so I can check it out and repair as necessary. Any hints?

Seriously, I gotta void the warranty to clean the head out because it looks like someone threw up in it?!? I don't want to just blast water up in there, it seems like there is an electric motor in there I'd rather not get wet.

you can confirm if you have a motor problem by taking out the motor and using it outside. you dont need to disassemble the motor yet. if it spins normally it might be a different issue.

Thanks for the sharing.

[@OpenMeUpTec]

you need to open it up and see the thing with water is that it will rust your connection. it has been the long so that is probably not the issue. the second issue is that water will short curciut the item and could be the reason it is not working. so open it up and see if there is still water left.

I have one with a defective head. Dyson is sending me a new one. But, I would like to open the old one up, just to see if I can get it working again. It's doubtful, though. I had the machine running on dry mats, and it just all of a sudden quit. Brush roll turns freely and everything. I'm hoping that it might be saved with a bit of soldering, but I'm not holding my breath.

itis unlikely that it needs soldereing. most likely your motor is dead. you can replace the motor if that the case.

I was wondering where the motor is. It's the roller itself? Mine broke after very light use. Dyson agreed to ship out this carpet unit. The vaccuem itself works great , so far , and can do the whole house , 1st floor and 2nd floor without no cords. You can touch up a whole house on one charge 👍

the motor is the cylinder thing at 17:40

Your video is very detailed & helpful but no matter what I do I cannot get the roller out. It comes out about 1cm & thats it. Any suggestions please.

[@OpenMeUpTec]

it is stuck. it happens when you have not removed it for a long long time. you need something to help you remove it like a prying tool(a screw driver)

[@Jamiet958]

I've just followed this great guide and mine was stuck too. I used a plastic pry tool from my ifixit kit to get some leverage. Needed to be careful not to break the plastic though with the pry tool but it was enough to get it out in the end.

[@OpenMeUpTec]

the dyson v12 comes with the same head as this. if not i have other videos on my channel so you can find which head it is. if you are asking about the soft roller also known as the fluffy head with laser i dont have a video for that. currently dyson only has 3 types of torque/motor heads avaliable and i have videos on all 3 of them. if you take a picture of the head i can show you which video it is

it could be stuck, try to connect it to power without assembling it to see if it work. give it a push to see it spins.

This happened to me a few days ago. Under the white ring there is a plastic casing which holds a bearing cassette. The bearings on mine were seized up, so I had to get down to the bearing and turn it by hand until it freed up, then I added some lubricant. All is good so far.

@@AlvenmodFoto thats was yeas ago. it is how things are now. example the below vacuum from electrolux. you can not clean it, since it was not made to be disassembled. majority of the stuff is one way only, so once it was made, you cant remove it. so once use it and it get dirty, you need to bin it. it is not just them, all the other companies that make battery power vacuums basically have this issue. the only vacuum that is easier to clean than the dyson is the LG cordzoero but the performance is worst compared to the dyson. www.catch.com.au/product/electrolux-ergorapido-18v-stick-vacuum-cleaner-zb3515st-7824568/?offer_id=39411606&ref=gmc&gclid=Cj0KCQjwnJaKBhDgARIsAHmvz6eN_-RDVYzKnptEFTZgMenZpSXVQ0T3MyoaCXESuvkt-F6Zcq7TGTIaAu-lEALw_wcB
