SOURCE: Dyson DC07 burning smell.

sounds like it is on the way out this may be because 1, you need to clean the filter cos when its dirty it stop air from going around the motor witch makes it get hot and overheat 2, also if you allow the bin to get to full this will also stop the motor from geting air to it so a good clean on your filter and bin will allow air to the motor then no overheating should accur

SOURCE: dyson dc14 has no suction and burning smell

The guide suggest that you change the belt by putting it around the brush, through the plate, and then try to push it around the spindle, which has a space between it and the casing. I spent an hour trying to do this and couldn't get enough purchase to get the belt around the spindle. Instead I put it around the spindle first, and then through the plate, and then through a screwdriver to hold it in place. I then got the brush and put the band over the brush, rotating it until it went into the groove. I then reassembled. It worked, and I now realise how powerful that brush is. Hope it works.

SOURCE: dyson smells of burning when

It sounds like the motor has overheated and has now been irrepairable damaged.
The motor has a built in over-current trip to protect itself (and you if it seriously overheated and caught fire). This normally automatically resets itself, however if the motor has just about had it, the moment it is switched on, it just trips again.

The primary cause of motors overheating is that the filters are not cleaned or replaced frequently enough. Dont be fooled by Dyson's "lifetime filters". They need to be regularly cleaned and replaced when necessary.

Replacement motors are avaible on eBay for about £25, however repalcing one requires good DIY skills and tools.

Have a look at www.dysonmedic.com and see if you feel you can tackle it yourself. If not, take it to a repair shop or call the Dyson helpline.

How to open the cyclone part of the DC50 to check it it's clogged?

Hi Floyd, it's Jack at Dyson.

Please do not attempt to dismantle DC50's cyclone pack, as this is likely to cause damage not covered by the machine's 5-year guarantee. It's very unlikely there would be a blockage within the cyclone pack as it's protected by a fine mesh shroud which prevents pet hair and other debris from getting into the cyclones.

If your machine isn't picking up as well as it should be, you may need to give the filters a wash, as shown in the video attached. This should be done at least once a month using cold water without detergent. Always allow at least 24 hours for the filters to dry completely before replacing them.

To check for blockages in any of the airways, please follow the steps shown in our online Support guide:
http://www.dyson.co.uk/support/dc50/dc50-animal/my-machine-is-not-working/machine-not-sucking-picking-up-as-well-as-usualdc50/check-the-brushbar2dc50/redirect-to-bin-cyc-duct/check-the-wand-and-hose2dc50

If you do need further help after you've washed the filters and checked for blockages, please get in touch with us so we can help further. You can reach our experts directly by calling 0800 298 0298 (UK), or 1-866-693-9766 (US). If a repair is needed, we can also confirm if this is covered under our 5-year guarantee.

Comcast dc50

Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson.
From what you've described in your question, it sounds very likely that you have a blockage somewhere between the cleaner head and the bin. Please follow the steps shown in the video above to locate any obstructions from the cleaner head, and to remove any threads or hair from around the brush bar.
Once you've done this, it's also a good idea to follow the steps shown in our online Support guide for help locating blockages in the internal hose:

If you would like any further advice from one of our experts after you've tried this, you can reach our freephone UK Helpline on 0800 298 0298. We're available from 7am-10pm, 7 days a week.
