- Today's lecture covers fully stripping down to it's component form a Dyson DC25 vacuum cleaner. Covering the main machine, motor, cyclone and brushroll, everything! Comment if you need help, grab a fair few beers and enjoy!
Thank you so much, I have recently rescued my daughter DC25 from going to the skip and thanks to your stripdown video I discovered how to get to a faulty switch. It now works great 👍
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!! My DC25 is running like new again. Maxed out the tank on just my living room on the trial run. I can't thank you enough for making this video. I was close to pitching it and buying a new one. Now I think I'll rescue other DC 25's and rebuild them for people. Great Video.
Thank you!!! With the aid of this video I was able to strip down two dead DC25s and rebuild a good one.
Awesome, nice job
So far so good, never done this before, female, 69! Now to get it put back together. Only one little problem, I'm replacing the motor which burnt out last year, just after I'd bought new hepa/pre filters. Now to put it back together again. Thank you Sam.
Cheers mate! Excellent step by step guide. I just fixed minor fault on my 10 yr old DC25. You are like a Scotty on Star Trek's Enterprise! Live long and prosper.
I was able to disassemble the motor, find the problem and put the replacement back in using this video. Thank you very much Beko 1987.. You rock!
Thank you once again Sam. This video really helped me as I'm not that familiar with the ball variety of his vacuums. You're a fantastic lifesaver for sick Dyson machines around the world.
Thank you for this comprehensive video. Not sure I could have repaired the Dyson without it. Very well done.
We found a trash picked DC25 Animal at our local Goodwill for $5 US Dollars. Works excellently but the brushroll motor is shot, family doesn't want to fix it.
Edit: Our main cleaner, a DC41 Mk1, just took a dump and so I reverse engineered it's brushroller motor and now it's in the DC25 and it works phenomenally :)
I greatly appreciate your attention to detail and posting this video, was able to replace the entire duct assembly thanks to this and your other video on DC25. hour and change, nothing like learning new technique and happy wife, cheers!
Thanks Mate - I really appreciate you taking the time to do these videos. Yours helped my replace the 'spine' and now my DC25 is back to work cleaning the house. Cheers!
Sweet, glad to be of service!
Good video. I replaced the motor after all of the fan blades came off. Thanks for the help!!
My Dyson was a different model but your video really help me. I liked the you broke it down made it easier for me
Awesome, glad I could be of help! Doing it in stages helps get into the flow! Main machine, motor ball/yolk, floorhead then cyclone is how I always do them! Then I usually do the same to reassemble but get the main body out the way first, then the floorhead and test the motors are still running
Thank you for this, @Beko1987, just needed to know what to pull apart (and put back together) so that the £5.99 brush reset switch could go in. Worked a charm. Cheers!
Thought I would clean my brush head and found your video. I ended cleaning the whole hoover thanks to your great video upload. Many thanks to you good sir! This was so helpful!
Excellent! Glad it helped
Struggled to get the pipes out but did manage it in the end.
Thanks you man! I wasn't able to find a repair manual online for this DC 25 so I'm glad you did a complete break down. I found it on the curb and it has some noise coming out of the ball. It's probably the bearings. I'll see if I can refurbish this thing.
+Santos Rivera if the noise is when the ball itself spins, rather than the motor then yes, check the large cog. There's a very detailed dc25 refurb thread on the Manchestervacs forum (I know because I wrote it!) Nice to see a trash find too, we don't get many of those in the uk anymore sadly
Thanks for the video. My foot was broke also - the plastic nub broke off and the one on the other side with the spring was breaking (seems like a dumb design). I cut them off flush, drilled and tapped for a bolt and reassembled successfully
Thanks for taking the time to go through this step by step, you have just saved me the best part of £300 for a replacement!
Thank you! After watching this, I know what part I need to order for my "Achilles heel." Great job!
Awesome, good luck! Which part is it?
@@beko1987, I don’t know its name, although I know what it looks like. It’s a little part of the soleplate and it has broken off. Ordering a soleplate, which I have done, will solve my problem. (I hope!) I’m thrilled you decided to dismantle exactly the vac I own. 😄
Yea, once something snaps like that fitting a whole new one is by far the easiest! Good luck, bar having to unplug everything and transfer it to the new bottom shell it's not too tricky. Good time to remove all the fluff from the brushroll motor too before it overheats and dies 👍
Thank you for making this! It has helped out a bunch
You're very welcome!
Thanks. Very useful as I had a stuck ball and had no idea about how to take it apart to figure out what was wrong. I got it fixed and working good except for the spring on the red wheel release lever. I can't figure out exactly where it goes to snap into place to lock the wheels down for easy rolling. The reassembly video would be very useful as sometimes the parts come apart and it not obvious how they reassemble. Regardless I appreciate your work on this.
Thank you for your extensive knowledge & skills, and then sharing it with us. Much appreciated. 👍👍
PS. Not boring at all.
Thanks Beko, that bit at 19:59 saved my bacon, now I know why the DC25 I'm working on it has a floppy brushroll assembly
Any time man, glad it helped!
Are you going to do a rebuild video as well?
Nicholas Topley I have! Quite a recent video on my channel
Hi Nicholas, did you need to remove the whole motor in order for a screwdriver to reach the screw hole? I removed the shell, but a screwdriver can't quite reach. Do I need to get an L-shaped screwdriver/ratchet tool to do this?
Excellent videos for disassembly and reassembly, I now have a working hoover
brilliant, thanks to this i have found out the source of the roller not spinning (broken white wire behind the left cover) Thanks
I wanted to clean some clumped up cat litter out of the brush roll housing. This video let me know how to get to the dirty parts and get them cleaned! Found a few more areas that needed cleaning or other attention. Thanks!
Found a screw on the floor and the upright locking mechanism failed to hold. Thanks to your video, stripped it down, replaced the screw and the mechanism, that was hanging by the spring, and we appear to be good again. Cheers.
Nice! Yep that's a common ossie, it backs itself out over many years!
Had to say thanks for posting these videos, this one in particular. Also, subscribed!
Great video, had a screw that fell out and stopped it pivoting back and forth. Your video enabled me to loosens the ball on one side and with the ball filter cover off was able to get that spring/block back on its mount and screw it back in. Would have been really annoying to bin the whole thing just because a screw!
Thank you Beko so much for this video. I got through replacing the chasis and getting it all back together. But, when I went to turn it, the wall plug sparked and pooped. Now I gotta figure out how to trouble shoot electrical on this. That would be a great video if you haven't done one yet.
Oh dear, that doesn't sound good! UK or us sir? I'd maybe guess you've got a wire the wrong way round somewhere and it's just short circuited. Or 2 connectors are touching somewhere but that shouldn't be possible as they've all got to be annoyingly perfect or the casing won't screw back together 🤔
Thanks for this info! Helped me unclog my dc25!
Great video that was a lot of help keep up the good work and thank you for posting 👍
Awesome, thanks man! What was your issue?
Thanks for This Nice video it Realy helpfull I just needed
Thanks for your video on the Dyson DC25. It helped me to reassemble mine after disassembling it to make a repair.
Very helpful. Got my replacement loom wiring inserted successfully on the back of this - although one just on that would be great as I am sure I struggled unnecessarily.... I left the red foot bit on - maybe I should have took that off - was highly awkward clipping in the spade connectors too. Sorted though!
He's an absolute genius
Thank you for this video! It was very helpful!
Great video! But the area I need help with is precisely the area you said, “don’t worry about hood you put it back together, we’ll cover that later”. Only you don’t. Argh!! Now in stuck figuring out where that smaller spring for the red pedal latches into. The pedal and wheel assembly just won’t operate properly because I can’t figure out how to reattach them correctly (and I got the larger spring oriented correctly).
Thanks man! Helped my fix my dead DC25.
I needed to move the ball enough to give me clearance to reinstall the screw that holds that spring loaded catch in place, the one that keeps the head from flopping around at all times. What a pain, that screw has fallen out twice on me. Good thing I never lost it.
Just happened to me, too. Thanks to this video, I was comfortable with removing only the left cover and left ball screw and spreading the yoke to release the ball enough to pop in the spring loaded catch and reinstall its screw and bushing.
Thank you sir , saved my bacon you did!
A super lesson worth watching absolutely brilliant
Do a video of reassembling the Dyson Dc25
Huw Clements one day I will! Got a 24 reassembly to do as well...
Great video, but it seems I blinked and missed how you removed the shuttle valve assembly hose. Mine became disconnected and I'm trying to figure out how to reconnect.
What an awesome tutorial video - good man Beko1987. Thanks.
We bought a second hand machine which had been "serviced" (new brush roller, new filter) and it seemed a bit lacking in suction. We turned on the DC25 this morning and there was a burning smell. Stopped the machine and bought a replacement motor which I hope arrives this week. While waiting I decided to check the cyclone gasket and presto it was ruined! Service engineer obviously didn't check that did he!
Beko1987, do you think the perished gasket could be related to the burnt out motor?
Thanks again.
Thanks so much! You're a natural.
Hello. I cannot find your tutorial on how to reassemble the DC25 handle assembly. I took it apart to try to fix the hose and a small spring and plastic piece fell out and I do not know how to put em back. I put the handle back on and it is stuck on now. I assume the pieces that fell out where what released the wand.
Man! I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong but I canNOT get the switch housing off. It’s acting like the bottom two screws are still screwed in but they are not. Yours came off w little effort and mine is just… stuck. Ugh!! 🤦🏻
Thank you for this amazing video, do you have a link or webpage to buy spare parts? Many thanks
Thank you for this video - it's great! However, I need to know how to strip down the wand - and you said you wouldn't do it for this video but you had done it on the Manchester Vacs site. I've searched there and can't find it. Could you put a link here or even in the video description? Thanks again!
It's in one of the dc25 refurb threads but from memory/iirc: , about level with the cord hook are 2 plastic tabs. Release both then pull the inner ring down level and watch for flying springs. The assembly should slide down. Then unjam what's jammed and pop the springs back in and slide it all back up.
@@beko1987, thank you for your reply! I'm sure your clear instructions will help me get it fixed when I get back at it tomorrow! Thank you so much! 🤝🤜🤛👏
Thanks for the video. I DID NOT cardboard all my screws, therefore I have 1 screw left over. It's silver with a silver washer attached. Any idea where that goes? Also, I lost the teeny tiny spring for the lever to remove the brush head...on the bottom. How critical is that spring? Thanks
Hi. You mentioned at the start this vacuum’s head hangs and that’s what mine is doing. I think I missed where you say the problem is. Is it the missing tab you mention at 20:37?
Yes, that bloody black clip @ 19.20 has fallen off mine too. The screw that was holding it on came loose. Now I have watched this video I can see how much of a pain its going to be to fix it. You cannot access the screw head to screw it back on without removing the whole ball it would seem. Great.
If you recline the machine and undo the 4 ball screws you can just about remove the ball shells and maybe get to the screw? Alot easier than removing the yolk and ball completely...
@@beko1987 Thanks. I'm in the same situation. Looks like this is a common fault. I managed to get the black plastic part back in place (eventually) but a normal screwdriver can't reach it without removing the motor assembly. With the ball shell removed (as you suggested) I reckon a little L-shaped ratchet tool would do the job. Think I'm going to try ordering one off the internet, unless there's an easier way...
Hi Sam, thanks for another excellent video! The dc25 is clearly a lot more complicated to refurbish then the earlier dyson models. Is it possible to put the motor filter (located in ball) into the washing machine? As I'm currently trying to service mine. Thanks again
Yes you can. It'll clonk around something terrible so put it in with some towels etc! It won't come back white, it's stained for life but it'll clean it OK.
@@beko1987 You're a star. I'll get that done over this weekend. Fantastic
I put two filters in the wash and they came out great! Then decided to do another one and I forgot to remove the rubber seal. One of my Dc25s makes a loud noise when turning it off. This is meant to be a common problem. So definitely damaged the seal haha
@@hugohenderson1788 smear of vsseline/grease on the rubber seals (inner and outer). Sorts that right out
Great information! Can you provide a URL for the disassembled handle diagram or for a video? The wand on my DC25 no longer releases when it is pulled up. I removed the hose in case it was twisted and also tried simultaneously pushing in the 3/4" x 1/8" oval tabs in on both sides of the handle while pushing it up but the handle still won't release from the aluminum wand. Many thanks in advance!
I'd fire a bit of wd40 into the red clip at the front of the wand red end if you can, that needs to unlock first. You can strip a jammed handle off the vac if you can get the wand bit up, otherwise your a bit screwed... Good luck sir! manchestervacs.co.uk/DysonForum/index.php/topic,1060.0.html
@@beko1987 Great! I'll give it a shot (pun intended). :)
The main motor on ours burnt out but the brush roll still works
Have you ever run into the head not releasing all the way to the floor? I've had the dc25 for 11 years and everything else works perfectly. I maintain it very well and have fixed issues in the past but never have I run into this problem.😬
I'll add that I used it 3 days ago, and it went down just fine. This thing is my 3rd child, so I'm freaking a bit.😅😂
You are excellent
I too wanted to say thank you for this particular video.. Super helpful. I subscribed on your Hoover 725 as I have both. What are the common issues with a Dyson 28 Animal/ Pet as I've sent it in for being way to hard to push & pull when vacuuming. Appreciate any help... Thanks again Eddie J from across the pond in New York.
Hi mate do you know why all the dust goes in to the top filter on my DC25 please thanks
Try fitting a new cyclone gasket. Type dc25 cyclone gasket into ebay and you'll see them
How did you take the hoses off the changeover chamber?
Pop a small screwdriver under the join on one side and lever up and they pop off
I see this video is over 2 years old & the market has changed! A new Dc25 brush motor is now £25 on eBay & a brush bar housing with a motor is £47. It's now cheaper to fit a new motor. Amazing how quick things change :)
I know! I've started doing vacuum repairs on a budget videos, because it's so cheap! Heck on dc25 and backwards I include new filters in a full refurb as their so cheap
Hi Beko, great Video. I have a problem, my Post Motor Filter clips back in fine when I have washed and dried the filter, BUT, after about 3 Mins of running the bottom half of the Filter Casing pops out and fouls the ball.
Any ideas M8 - Cheers Nobby
Hi Nobby! They do that, sadly itll be the motor housing warped slightly with age and heat. New filter might have a stronger clip, or find a way to bodge it in somehow. As you can see, it's a pain in the arse when they pop out. Best of luck!
The Models I know are
Animal (Purple)
Multifloor (Yellow)
Overdrive (Blue)
Pink (American I think)
The i possibly (Red)
Repair dyson d25 won’t stand up
thankyou
Beko1987, Is the commutator something worth replacing? The vacuum is in excellent condition. Could a novice replace or best to take to the shop? What would this cost. Thanks for your advise. 😀
Not on a dc25, no. They only sell the full motor, cost would depend on your locality!
I have a question for you.I own a DC25 and recently had a damage power cord.I cut it and added part of another cord from another vacuum cleaner.Both wires consisted of one black wire inside and one white.I thought okay simple fix but everything works normal except when I power the vacuum off it makes a loud revving sound then the sound fades off.So then I added another power cord this time without splicing them together and connected it directly to the power button and still have the same problem.Do you know what could be causing this?I really love this vacuum cleaner.Thank you.
Nice to watch it I have one to repair home need small hard waseito replace on Chang over .any help to find it
thankyou for teaching how to fix my purple animal dc25. save me 100.00 dollars! fix the part where the screw came loose on right side where the spring is next to the ball. had to remove the ball and the screw fell out! screwed back in put back together works right now Thankyou question why can you only screw in part way? if you tighten it all the way the spring will not work.
german shepard Any time man, glad to help! I think if you torque the screw up it just clamps it too tight for it to move, probably why it loosens off in the first place! A drop of superglue on the threads of the screw then fit it before it dries should sort it out!
Hey there! I have had the exact same thing happen! The original screw and locking washer have disappeared. (I knew what was broken but didn't see what was missing until I took it apart) any suggestions on fixing that without the original locking washer or where to find the part online?
go to Ebay type in Dyson Animal 25 hardware parts and you will find the parts.
I have a DC25 Multi-Floor vacuum that I picked up second hand dirt cheap, works great, only issue is the wand is stuck. It isn’t the kinked hose issue, the ACTUAL metal want looks like it was stepped on or something. I’ve tried to pull on it to get it out, I’ve tried to press the tabs on the side to release it and push it up, no luck. Where is it I can find how to fully disassemble the wand? Or do you have any tricks that would help me get this thing off to either hammer back into place or replace?!
It is possible, but very tricky. The plastic end of the wand has to come off, and that's tricky, then push the metal tabs back in. Then you can pull the wand up and out. The locking mechanism will either stay put or fall apart so make sure you note how it goes before fully removing the wand! Or get a used wand from ebay for a tenner or so...
Just what I needed. Thanks!
If the brush does not spin when activated, but will spin (briefly) when the reset switch is pressed - you have any ideas to troubleshoot?
This is exactly my problem, did you fix it?
Hello. Good video! Too in-depth for my requirements though; I only need to replace the Yoke Loom assembly. I have located the wire that is now in two pieces...do I have to remove the ball (and everything beforehand) to replace it? Many thanks
Darren Kemlo yep, afraid so as the yolk doesn't come off with the ball fitted
I am trying to remove the bin flap as shown after 52 minutes in order to replace it. But my sharp pull has not freed it. Am I probably not pulling hard enough as the 'bear hug' does not seem to distort the hinged region of the bin? Or do I just have to cut the pins, or break the 'arms' that they are on, as I have the replacement flap ready and waiting.
If you've got a new flap then yea, break away! The idea is I stick it under my arm and squeeze hard perpendicular to the pins, so their pushed apart and snap out easily as the locking nobles themselves are rounded. Issue you might have is fitting the new one, it'll need a squeeze and a fairly steady push or it shoots off up the moulding and you bash your hand on the edge of the bin!
@@beko1987 Thank you very much Beko1987. With that encouragement I squeezed harder perpendicular to the pins and pulled harder, and the flap came loose. And then the new flap went in similarly. I think Dyson must use stronger plastic than many companies. Thank you again.
Hello Sam I would love if you reply. I have a problem when I was taking the cleaner head motor out of its chamber I snapped the clip that holds it in is this a big deal or not because this machine is a refurb one and I'm panicking
Bob Surrey Hi Bob. Do you mean the black part that goes around the cog? That clips onto the other black part that holds the brushroll cog? If so then no, by the time it's together the belt holds it tighter than the clip does, as does screwing the head up. Test it before giving it back to the customer, but ive snapped one side off before with no ill effects!
Beko1987 hi Sam thanks for reply the piece I snapped is at the 50:19 part of the video where you say to gently lift the brushroll motor out of its housing well as I was levering it out the piece just snapped that holds it in place and I can't find it anywhere
My DC25 brush bar head spins up momentarily and then shuts down.......Any ideas please?
I'd be having the side cover off (3 T20) and checking if the loom is snapped. If not, then up top and the brushroll power switch and/or reset switch (both get blipped by the on button so if the switch just bounces, that'll be in. Infact hold that switch down manually, that'll soon tell you!)
@@beko1987 Huge props to you for that! I'll have a look see. Thanks!
Not sure if you’re answering comments. I’ve got a DC25 and I need to remove the changeover hose, something that was missing from this video. Do you know how I can go about doing this?
Yep, I'm answering the comments! Does this help? Scroll down a bit but basically take the main changeover valve off then pinch the 2 pivot points of the end of the hose and manhandle it out of its place on the chassis manchestervacs.co.uk/DysonForum/index.php/topic,1060.0.html
hi looking from the back of my dc25 where the red pedal goes in broke off on the machine is that the whole duct assembly thank you
can you do a video of the Dyson dc01 blue please
Jacob Coleman I could actually, as I've done nothing with it yet and it needs a refurb. And ive written many dc01 threads so a video one would be cool. I'll make it happen one day! Got to clear out the vacs I don't want to keep first though
My DC25 wails like a banshee when starting up and after a short time it settles to just an unbelievably loud whine. I'm thinking bearings in the motor head and the main motor. Are these serviceable - I can't find any parts listed for them. Other than having to wear industrial ear muffs, it works fine.
Itll be your post motor filter... Remove it then turn the machine on! If the noise goes, replace your filter :)
@@beko1987 Thanks heaps, will give it a try tomorrow. I had also thought to take the motor head off to eliminate that as a cause.
@@beko1987 Thanks again - I took the filter out and it removed the banshee wail completely. So happy :)
@@beko1987 add some silicone lube on the filter seal
WOW HOURE AND ITS NICE TO TALK TO YOU ON FACEBOOK
Wizarddolphin84 Yes, it's a long one! Glad to see more viewers on facebook
VRAVE N VRAMOOVE 58:50
Mr. Solomons, is that you?
Air freshener? Make sure your client isn't allergic to colognes and perfumes, like myself. You'd have to take that whole damn thing apart again to get that air freshener out.
You know, I've stopped using them for this very reason a few years ago! Had 3 people on the trot complain and 4 more ask me before not to, so now I don't. I go for the 'smells of NOTHING approach' now! If it smells of nothing after it once stunk it's job done 👍 And thank you for being another notch on the 'against' log
Please add timelines?
Hi beko1987 I'm working on a dyson dc 40 come up against a fault I can't fix the brush bar spins all the time. Any idea what could be wrong with it . Any help with this issue appreciated. Nick
Hi Nicholas. It could be the little microswitch that sits buried on top of the motor housing...
I own the DC25 animal version and it whistles when you turn it on for about a second and whistles when you turn it off. How do I troubleshoot that problem?
Remove the post motor filter then power it up!
I will do that but what if that is not the problem? Where are the other parts that can cause the whistle sound?
After a good cif and polish, I recommend you spray some WD40 in the bin and it restores them.
hoover master Tayyab says that too. It's probably already filthy again now though, it's been back a week! Must try it one day
Beko1987 I can assure you it works so well. I'll PM you photos
can u tell me if I need a normal screw driver or a torques screw driver for taking a dyson machine apart or does it differ from model to model?
It's a torx driver, and usually the same size, however some of the newer machines use smaller screws. When I took the v6 and dc54 apart, I needed to get my micro laptop disassembling set out for the cy line screws!
cool when will it be
Dyson collector 2000 lol who knows! I have a long pile of stuff to do before then! Plus work, children and life. It'll happen
Hi, my dc25 has sparks from the motor. The vacuum sounds normal. Have you experienced that ? Any advise?
+Hartsmommy Hi! Some light sparking is normal, but excessive fireworks is not. It's usually the start of the commutator breaking down, could run as it is for many months to come, or burn out tomorrow... Does it smell of burning at all?
Beko1987 , yes. It smells like it is burning. The last thing that was cleaned up was tons of saw dust.
Beko1987, Is this something worth replacing? The vacuum is in excellent condition. Could a novice replace or best to take to the shop? What would this cost. Thanks for your advise. 😀
Wow! Good luck putting it back together. JK!
Hi. I have 2 dc25 the one the motorhead doesn't work the other the engine in the ball is sparking and smoking, can these be combined to get a working vacuum?
Nice guy but needs to get out and meet some girls
I have a missus and 2 children, my meeting girls days are over!
Didn't mean any offence mate
Don't worry, none taken!
