OPEN ME UP! Dyson V15 Detect Complete Disassemble and Clean

This is a complete disassembly of a V15 Detect . This video is extremely long and you will need to watch the other 2 videos on my channel to help you understand how to remove the connector

[@WillLeingang]

Wow that is way more complicated than I would have expected. Removing that power connector is definitely sketchy I pretty much destroyed mine. Thanks so much for the teardown!

[@OpenMeUpTec]

there are 2 ways you can remove the connector. i have videos show you the 2 ways. probably try the safe method next time

[@OpenMeUpTec]

@@apet11 it is ok just put it back in place and it should be fine

[@dcmirk]

I just destroyed mine too. I am very frustrated.

[@ThinkPlease]

Thanks for the helpful video. One can separate the housing piece that contains the particle flow sensor from the gold piece that has the cyclones without creating a 4-sided prying tool to remove the power connector (29:38) - you simply have to remove the sensor board (which, as you've shown, requires pulling the two tiny connectors to the very thin electronics wires) then, pull the white + black power cord with the fat white rubberized wad through the housing and get it past the little thin electronics wires. Once it's past them you can get it to feed past the final bottom hole at the base and the big housing piece holding the particle sensor comes free of the gold cyclonic piece. The black & white power cord with the fat white rubberized wad simply stays connected to the clear plastic connector that would require a 4-sided prying tool to remove. I had to separate these two pieces in order to clean mold and mildew from every inner part of the unit, so I had to figure out this method.

[@OpenMeUpTec]

thanks i will have a look next time i open it up

[@emilino3992]

job done, electric white and black cables from black connectors gone very easy when I hit from hand in mixer ending - I was take it to remove black connector

[@giovannirestivo4261]

it seems simple to disassemble, instead I tried to disassemble the v12 detect slim without trigger and everything is different, I would like to see you while you disassemble and reassemble it, best regards and good continuation

[@OpenMeUpTec]

have not purchase one yet to disassemble. still in the process

[@jondeaux336]

Nice breakdown of this system. I have to wonder why they make that connector (that made you break all your chopsticks) such a sticking point, like 'we don't want you doing this' connector. The rest of it is quite simple.

[@OpenMeUpTec]

when you call dyson for a replacment part, they replace the whole thing. therefore, you are not meet to take it apart

[@richardcook1987]

I need to know how to take the motor out of de tangle brush bar as its very dirty and needs cleaning all round

Great disassembly vid. 👍 Was thinking about getting the v15 after all the trigger issues with the v11 Thanks

[@OpenMeUpTec]

you have to remove the glue to take out the trigger. they started to glue it so people wouldnt do stuff to it. the battery is different

[@alanalan-mq8yw]

Issue is glue gets hot and turns black at hot places make a carbon connection short.

[@johndoe-wk8lt]

After aligning red gasket and retaining ring, the ring snaps into place but is not very tight. Pushing the tube back over the body pops the red gasket and retaining ring out of its holder. This happened before i disassembled it, which is why i turned to your (excellent) video in the first place. Is there a way to hold the retaining ring tighter?

[@OpenMeUpTec]

can you watch the video and tell me at what time you see the ring and where in the video you have issues with. it makes it easier for me to undderstand can give you an answer

[@PiotrekSzostak]

This is a very good teardown video, especially that so many other videos, together with the manufacturer themselves is suggesting just rinsing the transparent container and back filter with water is enough. It isn't, after 1 year I took almost a full pound of dirt from every single space found inside the case. Honestly, it makes me sad to think the most expensive vacuum on the market is actually so poorly designed when comes to internal integrity of those parts and the shady design decisions like this connector that they clearly changed vs the V12/12 models just to fuck with me trying to clean my own device. The only thing I would add to the video is that this last place that you could not get into because of the lack of prying tool can be cleaned to a satisfying degree with pressurised air - I used a hairdryer, but a can of laptop cleaning air should do the trick just as well. Plus it is a cleaner video when you disassemble a clean one, but using an actual used, dirty one would help illustrate the actual issue at hand to people who have not yet tried to look inside theirs

[@OpenMeUpTec]

in one of my video for a v11, i left it dirty and it was just to hard to disassemble and show people stuff ,which is the purpose of the video. therefore i try to give it a quick clean before or it get out of control

[@furkanturkal8414]

Thanks for the video. But i dont think this is a “complete” disassemble, you didn’t teardown remaining parts.

Would you please confirm that the V11 dust bin fits the V15? I asked this very question of Dyson and I was told it did not.

[@OpenMeUpTec]

yes it does. i show you in the video it fits. you can see this at 1.25 in the video

[@mikec8661]

Hi, my cat knocked over the vacuum the other day and cracked teh cyclone (orange part) and made some holes. Dyson wants me to replace the whole body. Is there a way to just get the cyclone part? can i use a V11 cycloner (from the video it doesn't look like it b/c of the connector).

28:05 What is the name of the blue gasket? where can I find it?

[@AsgerJ]

How much do you need to disassemble if you want to clean baby powder from the vacuum? All the way to the motor? How much of the innards are affected by the dust/powder in this case?

[@OpenMeUpTec]

you should try to do up to 37.00

[@chancetolbert4852]

I have a sv15 i have no power gettting to the power head. Checked all connections that are easy access and they all are clean. What could be the cause.

[@OpenMeUpTec]

if the vacuum is working you have an issue with the power cable/connect somewhere. you can see this cable in 17:30 in the video

[@bio10155]

I recommend when assembling the gaskets back on...use a dab of silicone to aid the mating surfaces

[@OpenMeUpTec]

originally they dont have any. therefore i wont recommend it. when you use the vacuum the suction will cause it to close up therefore it is not necessary

[@bio10155]

@@OpenMeUpTec what I meant was maybe some silicone grease to help reassemble the gaskets because you said they were difficult in getting back on

[@OpenMeUpTec]

​@@bio10155 i see i would not recommend that as it will cuase dust to stick to it. if you want to use something make sure it is not wet or else dust starts to build up on it

hey, do you know where it could be possible to get one of those purple gaskets for the cyclone portion? or is that something you have to go to dyson to fix?

[@OpenMeUpTec]

you wont be able to buy it. dyson doesnt sell it since you are not meant to disassemble your vacuum to that point

which one. please watch the video and tell me at what time i can see it

[@knallpistol]

I've had two units, and the purple seal was protruding out so much that it worked itself out with normal use. Now the replacement unit still have that gasket sticking out, so eventually it will fail also. Very poor design.

[@joy80211]

do u know how to fix clean filter error?I just tried it out on a small portion of our carpet (less than 5 minutes) and it’s already asking me to clean the filter.

[@OpenMeUpTec]

is your filter dirty. if it is then you need to clean it. normally carpet are extremely dirty, making the filter full in a short amount of time

looks like a software problem and by reinserting the battery you just restarted. as it loses power when you take the battery out and starts again when you insert it

[@OpenMeUpTec]

watch 39.20 in the video. it is the same as the v10 and v11. the issue is on some of the v11 and all of the v15. they glue the area that you need to access do replace the tigger. i already have a video with the v10 and v11 which shows you how to remove the tigger

[@tiborilles]

So later if there was a problem with the trigger on v15, it won't be replaceable, because they glue the area? Would you know if they've improved the trigger? Thank you.
