Do Dyson vacuum cleaners (DC04) have a thermal cut out? Ours will run fine for ten mins or so then simply stop. Let it stand for an hour and it will start again.
Thoroughly cleaned all pipework, ducting and filters but nothing has made a difference. Scrap it start again?
Thermal cut out Most Dyson vacuums have a built in safety system that stops the machine if it begins to overheat. This usually happens because the filters need washing or your machine is blocked. If your machine cuts out, unplug it and leave it for at least an hour to cool down. Remember to turn the power off and unplug the machine before you check the filters and look for blockages prior to re-starting the machine. Any non-domestic use may adversely affect the filter performance such as vacuuming up builders dust.
It's either due to lack of airflow, or due to the motor generating more heat than it should.
If it's the motor, it may show up as the motor pitch changing without you changing the load on it, and/or a burning smell.
For lack of airflow, the motor will spin faster. When it's working properly, momentarily blocking the air inlet by hand will cause quite a speedup of the motor. If it's already partially blocked, the motor is already sped up and momentarily blocking the air inlet by hand will not cause so much extra speedup. One by one, remove all the airflow components (loop at bottom of hose attachment, dust cannister and pre-motor filter, post motor filter), and when you take off the one which is blocking it, the motor speed will drop to normal.
Have you tried to remove the belt on a DC04? You have to almost strip the machine to do it. Fairly sure it's too tight to enable the beater bar to slide out of its carriage slots to unthread from the belt.
I agree, and I have both. But the "little" Dyson, whilst expensive, is amazingly convenient. It's small enough to hang in the hall so is much less hassle to get out for little jobs. Just bought one for son's new London flat which only has room to swing a Manx cat.
Not in my case. I am not uncritical of Dyson; I had a DC01 and it was heavy, awkward to use, and unreliable. I admire his creativity. I don't have a problem with manufacturing overseas: he has a significant UK R&D organisation and reportedly does not practice tax avoidance. I like the airblade, I am more suspicious of the fan. I don't have an objection to a bit of showmanship and his "awards" seem well thought out. I welcome more engineering "role models" in the UK like McMurtry, Noble, and Dyson. The DC59 is only the second product I have bought; time will tell whether it is reliable, but I find it very effective.
Been considerign a dyson fan but on looking closly I think they are over pr iced for what they are so won;t be buying one. I will be buying (most likey ) the next iMac my last one's been going 5 years only seriously crashed a f ew times and never had to reinstall anything just restarted. I replaced my old dyson animal after 3 years but I don't think I should hav e 'hooverd' up the brick and mortor dust with it. I brought a portable dyson and now I have a upright dyson. I like things that look good and work well for the uses I have for them.
