Dyson DC 07
i bought a re-conditioned Dyson yesterday off that bloke on the flea market who has been selling them on there for years, two of my mtaes recommended him because they have both had one off him and the dysons have lasted 2 years so far, i only paid £20 for it so i wasnt expecting much, brought it home yesterday, plugged it in, hoovered the living room and the hall and it was fine, plugged it in this morning, did the landing and half of my bedroom and it stopped working, it just cut out, i changed the fuse and emptied it and still no joy.
anyone any ideas?
i cant take it back till next week because i think he only does the market on a Thursday

Re: Dyson DC 07
They have a thermal cut out switch. If the filters get blocked teh motor overheats and it cuts out. DAMHIKIJDOK
Clean all teh filters ( there is a sponge thing in teh 'side' and another one under teh drum (Which Dyson reckon is not replaceable butyou can buy them on ebay)
The sponge one is usually the problem. Its held in a plastic 'outer' you just have to get your finger in the hoel and pull it out equally on all sides, there is no locking mechanism but its a very tight fit.

Re: Dyson DC 07
My Dyson leaflet says that the sponge filter should be cleaned every 6 months -looks like yours hasn't
PS look here

Re: Dyson DC 07
It is designed to trap very fine particles which wont look like the thick muck you would collect in the bin section - so it might look reasonably clean - wash it anyway and try again

Re: Dyson DC 07
I bought a dyson from this man and he is very reasonable.....I washed the thick filter and it DID need it.......my dyson was bought from him more than two years ago and it is going strong.......he will sort out your problem if you go back with it, I think he is sometimes on the market on a Sunday.

Re: Dyson DC 07
No....they are a bit of an encumbrance. Not really the ideal travelling companion.
