Why pay £200 to £300 for a new vacuum when you could repair yourself for £30, go on give it a go.... I did.
1 of 1 found this helpful Well it happened my DC33 died this week, at the age of 9 years 4 months. I was devastated, back in 2010 I purchased it for £192 at Currys. A quick look online and the new models are £200 to £300, with 700 watt motors EEkk. I thought can I repair rather than replace (Greta Tumberg would be proud).
Now don't get me wrong. I am no repair engineer & have never took a Dyson to bits before today.
When the vacuum died, it died in style, black acrid smoke then the motor sounded dreadful.
The motor fits the DC33 stubborn as well.
I found a relay good video on how to strip, replace & rebuild a Dyson, it also shows you how to replace the clutch if needed. its about 38:21 long and googled "replace dc33 motor"
Tip 1: I discovered you will also need a T15 x 80 long torc screwdriver as some of the screws are incredibly frustrating to get at.
Tip 2: I made the fatal mistake in washing the filters, if your motor pumped out acrid smoke like mine your filters will be ruined. Be warned, replaced the filters with the new motor they cost about £10, or put up with a burnt plastic acrid smell when vacuuming your home.
Tip 3: When you are waiting for your motor, strip it down as to the video & CLEAN all the parts you can get at , even the bin. Make sure it is all by when putting back together.
Tip 4: The new motor is a tight fit, the two cable you see can get under the motor without noticing, this will make replacing the housing impossible, if you persist in trying to close the housing you will brake plastic, its better to go back & preposition the cables, which a little bit fiddly.
Tip 5: When you have the housing & the power upright reconnected check if it works, a quick on and off then unplug from the socket. If it works proceed to replace all the other items.
Tip 6: My DC33 stubborn is rated to 1400 watts. I checked my "in home display" (smart meter) when activated& I can confirm the new motor pulled 1405 watts even tough it is a 1600 watt motor.
I am happy I have managed to fix my DC33 for under £30, it looks new again & I hope it lasts another 9 to 10 years.
