Dyson DC01: fitting new belt

Sep 24, 2012 1 Replies

My nephew wrecked his DC01 by letting a sock enter the beater bar. It jammed and the belt melted. I'm fitting a new one but I recall the motor shaft being very smooth and polished - it is now rough> Is my memory wrong and it should be rough or am I right and I have to polish the shaft back to smooth before fitting the new belt?



I phoned Dyson - 24 hour helpline. It is meant to be smooth - polish with emery paper.
