This is how I disassembled my Dyson Cool fan for cleaning. The process took me about 2 hours. Everything in the fan seemed to have gotten dirty. I like the fan but was not having a good time cleaning it.
I show only how I disassembled it. I did not over tighten any screws on re-assembly.
I wish I knew how filthy this fan would get before I bought it. At this price point it's outrageous that they don't provide easy access for cleaning the thing.
Couldn't agree with you more
ME TOO!
Me too
Us rich folk just buy a new one every month to keep it clean
Form over function. 💁🏿♀️
You should do another video to show how to reassemble it
These certainly aren't "blade-less!" The design is flawed in two ways. First, it's built upside down. The inlet should be at the top where the air is cleaner, not the bottom next to carpet. Second, the inlet needs a removable filter of some sort so you don't have to take the thing apart.
Agreed! A proper filter would prevent the bulk of dust from entering the fan.
Seeing a bladeless fan being cleaned like this and all the troubles you need to go through while disassembling it makes me appreciate my conventional electric fan more.
“Need” isn’t the correct word. Half of the steps you just watched are wholly unnecessary.
Thank you for a how to video that's straight to the point, no blabbering on about this and that forever. Exactly what I wanted to know. Thanx again.
You just took the words right out of my mouth and that was exactly my opinion after seeing this video. NO ANNOYING MUSIC AND NO BLAH BLAH was very soothing to my ears.
This is by far the best Dyson fan disassembly video I have seen. Good job👍🏼
I'm not going through the process. I physically can't do it. Its not mine but I wanted to be appreciative by, at least, cleaning the filters. I'll share this video with the owner of the Dyson fan.
This is what they don't show you on the commercials, that thing was filthy
I appreciate it, man. Got mine apart and back together and it runs so much better now. Definitely a hassle to clean it. Impressive you where able to take it apart with only one hand lol
Had to use this video again after a couple years, still works. Just in case it happens to other people, I got the F2 error at first. I had to take it completely apart again down to the motor, take the tiny gray box out and unplug and plug it back in, and had to make sure the wires where securely back in their little gaps. I also noticed that once I put in the top piece that requires the really long screws, it causes it to F2, not sure why. I just left the screws out and it worked again.
Had to switch off the air-conditioner for one day as the ledge where the compressor rested needed repairs. So, on my AM07, I went from my usual 6 speed to 10. Ran it for 8 hours through the night. Then suddenly a loud grinding sound. And the fan stopped. Received an F4 message.
Switched off the unit and unplugged it for one minute and switched it on again. Received and F2 message. Disassembled. Not that dirty inside. I had maintained it reasonably well. But boy, the motor unit was super hot. Even after one hour, it was still very hot to the touch. Will update again when I have allowed it to cool sufficiently and reassembled it.
I'm just wondering, if this fan was made to run under cool conditions with the air-conditioner working, doesn't that defeat the purpose of a fan? Or was it a coincidence?
Thanks for this video! Its really helpful. This will be the first and last dyson fan i would purchase. Even their vacuum cleaner last for less than 2 years. Overpriced and not durable at all.
Go with the Mielle Vacuums
@@curtflirt2 how good is the miele one?
@@hongjeffrey Not sure actually but I've for some time now been seeing great reviews on them. I've also watched a few videos on here about them too, seems like the ones to go with.
@@curtflirt2 thanks for sharing, sure will look into it 👍
@@hongjeffrey No problem, Take care
youre AWESOME but the video stops suddenly without completing I am so disappoingted as you made it so good. Now I'm stuck
Very not fun to do it, but certainly a satisfactory process.
P/s: for me the hardest part is assembly as it didnt show exactly how it was done. You tend to forget how things were when you dissemble
The worst part about this fan is the tiny vent holes on the outside that get clogged and are hard to clean
What a fan! Now I wanna get rid of mine
Toothbrush. Small long toothbrush.
This is even worse than getting a standard ceiling fan....
And the owner of this company is a multi-billionaire? The fan costs about 5 times more than a conventional fan and after 3 years despite cleaning the intake regularly it stops working without a complete disassemble and clean. How much do they say put into R&D???
What a joke. Thanks for the vid BTW
I don't underatand replies like this. It's obvious that you buy a Dyson fan because the design is very different (and imo very nice, esthetically pleasing -- clean compared to traditional fans). Hard to put a price on art. I can buy a perfectly fine bag for €10. I also have the option to pay €5000 for something that performs the same function but looks nice (to some people). I personally bought the Dyson very well knowing it wasn't the best bang for buck fan. I bought it because it's pleasing to look at.
@@sjaakbanaan Well frankly I don't understand replies like yours.
You buy an electrical appliance for functionality.
Would you buy a refrigerator for instance just because it looked good? Obviously not.
So why buy a fan just because it looks good?
Several hundred dollars for fan that stops working properly and needs constant disassembling so it works properly is clearly ill thought out design engineering.
@@addictiveaussie haha couldn't agree more with you.
@@addictiveaussieno, I wouldn’t. But I also wouldn’t buy an ugly ass refrigerator just because it worked. Aesthetics and form factor do matter to people. A rusted dented fridge cools as well as one that isn’t. Most people don’t want the rusted dented fridge in their kitchen. Rickety plastic cheapo looking fans in a living space aren’t always desirable either.
Made my fan work like brand new! Thank you! 😉
Want a filter on the outside vs cleaning the internal parts? Take a shop vac foam filter, cut it into 3 equal pieces, and slide one of the pieces over the inlet holes. Ill add a video when I have time. Cost is about $2-3 per piece and you can clean them or trash them after becoming dirty. So far so good on my tests. I did make sure to clean the internal fan itself as in this video before installing the new filter. Using a filter on a dirty fan won't work very well. Please note, adding a filter adds resistance to the motor, so it could potentially reduce lifespan of the motor and nullify your warranty, if any.
Exactly what I was thinking, but I wasn't sure which one to use...I'll try the shop vac. We have a cat and this will save hours of cleaning time.
Do the “how to clean dyson” people not know about compressed air?
Really would save a lot of time.
Most people don't expect to have to use compressed air to clean their fan. Also, unless you have a strong compressor, the dirt is caked on and has to be brushed off. A filter on the exterior shell would have prevented this type of cleaning. Keep asking questions, maybe Dyson will pay attention.
Wow… and here I thought cleaning the outside was enough, I have to literally take it apart to clean it which is honestly a big inconvenience for the price that it is…
Nicely put together video; good work!
Fantastic video where the action did all the talking. Helped me tremendously. 🙌🏽
I appreciate the effort doing this video that must’ve been so much to clean and record at the same time. Thank u
I got a couple of free ones now I know what to do to clean out the nasties. Probably only good if they are free.
Dyson fans are truly a hassle to clean. Didn't even know how dirty and filled up with completely black soot like dust the inside was until I opened it up to clean the fan today...
Set of artists brushes, unused. Clean a million things with them! And set of cheap paint brushes, all sizes, excellent cleaning tools. Keep them away from the ones used to paint with, I use a quick tie to keep them all together so I can quick find the right size.
And for all of us who will never clean our Dyson fans this way I solute you!
Thank you for this video, I was looking at buying a new Tp01 from Dyson, but after seeing how much maintenance it needs...... I don't want to add something this time consuming to my already annoying list of "stuff" to maintain.
Thank you again.
Trust me, you don't want anything Dyson! Before you purchase any product that cost as much as these do, check first in UA-cam to see what nightmare you have to look forward to. Also repairs, the closest is 40 miles from me, and I live in San Francisco (what a joke).
This video was fantastic and very thorough.
I’m not looking forward to doing this but am looking forward to this damn fan working again
Very helpful,thank you. After cleaning mine I added a generic wet/dry shop vac filter to the outside covering the holes. No noticeable lack of airflow, Now there’s something trying to clean air before sucking it in.
Just cleaned mine today, took it apart and used a tooth brush to reach those hard to reach spots
I wouldn't be trying this. I don't think it would ever work right after reassembly
If air goes through filters system 😮 why inside is so much dust 🤔 ???overpriced definitely
Thanks for the video but just a a small suggestion - you might want to invest in a tripod; or ask someone to hold the cam for you :-)
Thanks, I did exactly that after I finally noticed! I put up a vid on it too, haha. Wish someone told me earlier. Regards.
How long have you been using this fan before cleaning it?
I had to wade through many useless videos to find this. Most of them are just vacuuming the exterior and the outlet of the base, happily oblivious to all the gunk inside.
There are way better ways to maintain and clean a Dyson, once cleaned or new, just hoover the airflow inlets weekly during busy periods.
I just used my Dyson vac with the pet hair scraper to clean it . I mean you really left it new. Thanks for devoting so much time to showing us what’s possible! We appreciate you.
I have a dyson hot + cold. It was disgusting inside AND it was hard to take apart and clean. They literally made it so it's near impossible, and extremely hard to open. Like why? They must hate their customers.
Unjustified garbage! Would rather use my 12" wire fan that I can clean in 15 minutes than this dyson.
At least it was a gift.
WTF did I buy?! There is no filter to clean? I thought this would be a 3min job..
Mine will stay squeaky clean on the outside and abominable inside what you can’t see can’t upset you as long as it puffs out air I am happy!
Dyson should be ashamed that they made a fan with no access to the filters or fan blades for cleaning. I have thought about putting a filter over the intakes to stop dust getting inside (as any competent engineer would have done in the first place).
Well thats just the fan you should look in the head. If you have a heater one take a good look its where the heater elements are and despite saying it wont put out a burning smell it does.
SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY A CHEAP NORMAL ONE NOT A GIMMICK.
It’s ridiculous for the type of money you spend 🤦🏾♂️
Glad I didn’t buy it. What an pain in the ass for cleaning.
Regular fan still the best
Thanks for the video, but next time please try not to waste that much water; a basin, some water and soap is enough
I’m pretty sure I recommend a Dyson with a filter so you don’t have to clean the insides
Great video. For those wanting a assembly video just start at the end and go backwards 😅.
After I cleaned it ( what a pain) I cut a pair of my husband's boxers and use a strip for an outside filter. The anemometer shows the same speed with or without but the filter I wash out weekly (cat hair, dust). A coffee filter works too but isn't reusable. No more current draw on the motor (used a kilowatt meter.)
most poorly designed dyson product ever. not just for its cleaning but also for its performance/energy use
I just took off the bottom and used the vacuum cleaner. I'm not going to do all that washing like you. If it does it again, I am throwing it in the trash
I did this and assembled my fan. Now when I turn it on it makes a faint whistling noise that is unbearable :/
I followed this video start to end I have a question is the orange wire connected to
오늘 청소하려고 하다가 다이슨선풍기에 실망했습니다 이렇게 더러운걸 청소도 마음대로 못하는걸 비싼가격에 구입했다니
미쳤습니다
Straight forward guide, easy to follow and helped me to finally resolve the most irritating vibration noise at anything over speed 5. Turned out that Dyson themselves hadn't put the motor assembly spring legs into their slots during production, with that irritation fixed too, now as good as brand new and no more vibrations! Thank you very, very much! (FYI anybody wanting to do this but you dont have a T8 bit, i got by with watch very small headed screwdrivers just fine). Additional note: when i put mine back together i immediately got an F2 error code on the display, this code means motor friction, check the rotor on the under side can definitely spin freely with no friction, mine was caught on the lip of the plastic guard, popped it back through and worked immediately.
2:49 It takes me 10 minutes to unscrew half a nail, why is it so hard?
You started to take the bottom off and the video ended.....What the hell
Designed to look nice but not user friendly cleaning.
Done mine, such a easy job to do and makes fan work better
친절한 영상 고맙습니다.
그러나.. 사기전에 이 영상을 봤더라면
사지않았을텐데…😢
Good video. Note that the smaller filter is likely to disintegrate if you wash it with any force. Mine did and I just tossed it. Didn't make a difference. The hardest part is getting the wires back in under the assembly during re-install. Just be patient and mark the assembly with a Sharpie to show where the white feet meet the inside of the cylinder. Also mark the cylinder so that when you put the fan assembly back in you know you are aligned. I had the AM08 or AM03 not sure what the differences are, but the internals are the same as this video.
the smaller filter of my AM07 is fully disintegrated like a pile of mud so I just tossed it too!
Thank you. I have 3 and all need this deep clean.
When I washed that sponge thing, it dissolved
I followed ur way. Now I’ve put them back but it’s showing F2 error msg and it’s not working..
I got the F2 error at first. I had to take it completely apart again down to the motor, take the tiny gray box out and unplug and plug it back in, and had to make sure the wires where securely back in their little gaps. I also noticed that once I put in the top piece that requires the really long screws, it causes it to F2, not sure why. I just left the screws out and it worked again. I'm sure there's a reason that top piece is doing that but I'm too lazy to figure it out.
I'm writing an article on the pros and cons of bladeless fans without first hand experience. Every other article I've read says they're easier to clean than conventional fans.
I disassembled my am02 yesterday. What a PITA! Definitely didn't make it easy to clean. Mine was full of cat hair and clumps of dust.
Yours seems to be missing some rubber pieces that hold the fan assembly inside the other cylinder to stop vibration.
I did this and my fan won’t turn on :(
I did this and my fan won’t turn on :(
本当にありがどうございます。助かりました。
What a giant pain in the ass.
No Dyson for me!
日本から・・・”有り難うございました”
I prefer to buy another one 😂😂
Thanks for the video. Very helpful. Can you post on how to change the power cord?
Nice video presentation 👌thank you
Thank you so much for sharing this. Our fan was making a weird sound on power-up and shut-down. I thought that the item at 3:06 had a broken piece when I took mine off. I see that you also have that area the same as well (it looks like a piece broken off around the wider bottom edge).
Hello, thank you for your video. Now on my machine it's displayed F2 .. Why ?

My wife says to me yesterday "So my sister says she wants to get a bladeless fan. They're cute and don't take up much space. What do you think?" And my response was "Fuck no!!!" She says "why fuck no?" I asked her if she recalls me cleaning the metal blade fan we have, she said yea (i clean and lube our fan yearly). So I said "that's how dirty it gets and you can see the blades. How fun do you think it'll be cleaning that bladeless one? Cleaning that hoop is not gonna be fun."
Vlogging ?? Just watch no talk 😂
Excellent tutorial!
thanks for the video
This helped me a lot. Thanks a bunch
How do you assemble it
Really??
were you able to fully assembled it back after, and did it work?
Yes. Install in reverse order. Be careful with wires.
Uhh can do assembly back?
This is sooo not fun! I regret it so much... i prefer old fashioned fan blade, much easier to clean and of course much much cheaper.
I have a standard Dyson tower fan. It won't turn on anymore and is not supported because it is "retired." Do you think that being dirty is why the unit won't power up? I'm willing to clean it up if it will keep it out of a landfill.
Did cleaning it make it end up working?
Mine has a small fuse behind a cover that slides open at the wall outlet plug. I had a blown fuse. 125V 5A fuse. Not sure all the dyson fans have this, but worth looking at.
@@superrspace I never got around to it yet. 🥴
what screw driver did you use for that also where could I buy one?
Gave you a LIKE you really deserve it, lucky I have not taken the bottom part out, its tough for us ladies hope you can tell me where the continuation is please please
We got this for the toddler room ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxdzUap46p9ViXhKZf5mK_bXOb89EHxTqq because of the bladeless feature. Actually has a lot more power than I thought it would. Can still feel the air moving well 6 feet away, which is farther than I would expect from a desk fan. My daughter dropped twice and still works. I haven't checked out how long it lasts on a charge yet, but the air output was still good for the few minutes it was unplugged. My daughter also likes the color lights feature, but I don't really care for it and can be annoying to go through all the options before it turns off. Overall, happy with the purchase, especially for the price
Great video! But where's the rest?! It ends just as you're removing the bottom....is there a part 2?
Thank you for posting - can tell me what the foam thing you washed is? Do I need that? Mine disintegrated :( [I've had my dyson a long time]
I hate Dyson now. Hate myself for buying it. After 3 years, It is blowing fine dust when operating, imperceivable, but one can tell by all the stick on dust, spray-imprinted on the out-tube. Wiped it and it comes back tomorrow. Time to clean.
$500 for plastic? Hell nah
Lmao
DYSON AM07 Cool Fan Cleaning. Great Video of Detailed Cleaning
thanks will clean my fan ow for the first time since i bought it in... i think 2016 i never opend it up only cleaned it from the outside
Hi I have the same exact unit without the remote, on/off button does nothing, fan is all cleaned. how did you separate the bottom part from the motor , I want to check the current to the on/off button
I removed the middle screw at the bottom so now the circuit board is loose from the motor but still can't completely separate maybe 1/4-1/2 inch separated seems as if something is still grabbing it any suggestions thanks.
thanks
Excellent video. Thanks so much for sharing. I had a hard time trying to figure out how to clean my dyson fan.
hot water provides better cleaning!!!
@7:00 & 8:10, toothbrush would be useful!!!
