Clutch replacement I have a dyson DC7 animal that is having a clutch problem, I have the repair manual on how to do it, my question is what other things should be replaced while I have it all apart. ( ie belts, filters, etc? ) The unit is about 2-3 years old and this is the frst problem we have had with it

You need the clutch replaced. All Dyson DC-7 and DC-14 machines need to be serviced annually and have the clutch replaced if you want it to perform properly. Take it to your local vacuum repair shop to have it serviced. The good news for you is, most of the newer Dysons only last a couple of years and are disposable. Yours is repairable.

Not sure if it's a DC28 or DC07. If you are having trouble with the brush roll on your DC28 take it to a Dyson service center. If it is a DC07 check for obstructions in the brush roll. If none there check the belt or the clutch assembly depending on if you have a clutch or not on your model.

Have a look at www.dysonmedic.com which has some great info on your machine.

Hello,
This is a very DIFFICULT endeavor that is better left to a vacuum shop if your Dyson has a clutch system. Chances are, you'll have to have the clutch replaced.

Spray some sillicone spray or furniture polish spray at the bottom where the handle adjuster slider can be seen by tipping the cleaner forward. Its usually a plastic bar that should slide. It can become dirty over time or just need lubrication.

The clutch problem needs to be looked at by a serviceman or professional who can repair Dysons. Slipping belts are often a sign of being overused or with carpet/textures that have caused the beater bar extra tension. I suggest if this model means much to you to get it repaired.

Um, not really a problem just a new hose!

Hi. I have been repairing Dyson machines since they first came out. DO NOT PAY FOR A NEW CLUTCH. I can assure you that both clutch belts can be replaced. Its A tricky job & can take some time to do. Its more cost effective for a shop to fit a new clutch at your expense $150 Clutch Belts are readily available in the UK you can purchase belts from numerouse sites for approx $10 postage to states $3 to $5 saving you a small fortune. If you want to know how to fit the 2 belts I can sell you A manual for approx $11 Or contact me at [email protected] for more information.
