Looking for source of spare parts for Dyson appliances (other than Dyson!)

[willard.myron]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone here knew of a source of spare parts for Dyson appliances?. I'm not talking spare brushes and filters here, I mean the internal parts - motors, switches, that retractable mains lead caddy that they have in the DC02?.

Basically, I have a Dyson DC02 vacuum cleaner which has a broken mains lead caddy, that I would dearly like to replace. I've already had the cleaner a part and it's a piece of piss to replace the caddy, provided I can get a new one!.

I don't particularly want to involve Dyson, especially if it's got to go away to be "fixed", as other wise the cleaner is in working order.

TIA,

Willard.

Why new? walk around car boot sales on a sunday and you will probably get one for a tenner...then you will have spares if anything else should go skeewiff.

Try cpc. They do a whole bunch of Dyson spares, but I couldn't see the one you're after in their catalogue. They can get hold of far more than is in there though, so well worth calling them.

08701 20 25 30 Postage is reasonable to (about =A35 IIRC)

hit on google

Yep, that's just the webpage I have been looking for!.

I did a search, on Google, for Dyson spares over Christmas and more or less drew a blank. All that came up was the official Dyson website and I think one or two other listings, but they were only selling things like spare tools and filters.

Thanks for your help.

You don't have to send it away, Dyson will flog you spares over the phone for delivery if you want. They do all the spares as well - not just what is shown on their web site.

Go to the skip where millions are dumping these overpriced unreliable loads of crap every day of the week.

Try here:

've used them in the last 12 months, prompt service (bought a dyson motor)

Hmmmmm, odd. Our local dump doesn't have any, and the one I have has functioned perfectly for over 2 years since I repaired it (it broke before I was given it by my friend's dad who broke it when cleaning his chimney). Any other Dyson that has 'broken down' has usually been down to the owner hoovering stuff up they shouldn't have, and blocking the tubes leading to the cyclone chamber (or even not emptying the 'bag').

As for buying Dyson parts from Dyson themselves, I've had no problem with them. A new motor cost me about £46 and a new 'lifetime' filter about £10, which was replaced at no extra cost with a HEPA one when they were out of stock of the ordinary ones.
