Doesn't run, starts a rattle noise when plugged in then stops quickly.

After 15 years of service I imagine it will be hard to get the parts you want to repair it.. Newer machines may not dry as quickly as the older types but they use less power to do so.. Consider a new machine for the sake of the economics of the problem

Hi Ronald, it's Jack at Dyson.

I'm sorry to hear about the difficulty you've had with your DC33. However, performance issues are usually very easy to resolve with some quick troubleshooting checks.

It may be best if you can get in touch with us directly so we can help further - it's hard to diagnose the exact cause of a noise without hearing it.

If you give our freephone Helpline a call on 0800 298 0298 (UK), or 1-866-693-9766 (US), our experts will be happy to run you thought some diagnostic checks. If the machine needs a repair or a replacement part, they can confirm if this will be covered under the terms of the 5-year guarantee which covers all of our upright and cylinder vacuums.

We'll look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,

Jack

noise is at stop,put in neutral check if no noise,could be heat shield.

The rattle is caused because the rpm is lower. When stopped in drive with one foot on the brake, press the throttle down slowly until the vibration stops and the noise goes away. Cause? Weak or bad motor mounts, loose bolts or parts.

First check the oil level. If its overfilled correct it. Then remove the spark plug and turn the engine over. Replace the spark plug.
Start the engine. Use a prime ( squirt carb cleaner into carb) if you need to. It may start smoking again. Thats OK as long as you know there is oil in it and you dont hear any strange noises. Let the unit run for about 5-10 minutes and see if the smoke clears up. Once it quits smoking stop it and check the oil.

Doesn't matter you have a leak

You should have stopped using it
when you first noticed the leak & had
it resolved,now you may need a new pump

I've never heard a Capacitor make a noise, but there's a lot of things I haven't heard, I have however, heard the start up windows make a noise when they start. One type pulls the start up relay in for the start up windings and can cause a noise sometimes. I wouldn't get in a big hurry to buy a new Refrigerator. Most of the time they do that for years and still work. Just guessing that that is the problem, have to hear it to know for sure.

Does it seem to turn over quickly? If so i'd suspect the timing belt broke considering the rattling noise heard before it stopped.

If the panel's clamps are broken it will rattle,for a quick fix i would use duck tape on both sides.
Hope this helped.Let me know by rating me or
for more help go to live chat.Thanks

My fridge and freezer just stopped cooling all of a sudden. I hear the compressor running and every couple of min there is a clicking noise. Is there a reset switch or something that I can do to start it working again? The lights are working but the freezer and fridge are room temp.
