Dyson DC14 (with clutch) - Motor Replacement how to guide!

(1/4) > >>

beko1987:
I took these pictures ages ago (back in November 2016 I think) , so thought it best to write them up! This will show you step by step how to change the motor in a clutched DC14!

You will need:

An Motor - https://manchestervacs.co.uk/Dyson/DC14-spares.html/dyson-motor-ydk-yv-dc04-dc07-dc14-dc27-dc33
An Post Motor Filter, either -
             Pad - https://manchestervacs.co.uk/Dyson/DC14-spares.html/DC07-DC14-Post-Motor-Filter-Pad
             Or HEPA, depending on what your machine currently has, both are interchangeable though) https://manchestervacs.co.uk/Dyson/DC14-spares.html/DC07-DC14-HEPA-filter
A Belt Lifter makes the job alot easier (https://manchestervacs.co.uk/Dyson/DC14-spares.html/Dyson-Belt-Removal-Tool) but it's not critical.

Right, onto the job itself!



Remove the bin



Remove the cable



Remove the Wand



and remove the hose





Next, undo this screw behind the switch



Then, with a flatblade screwdriver, gently pop these tabs back (I think this is the last thing to be written up with images from my old phone thank goodness!)



They just push back into the machine (which half pushes the switch cover off in the process on the other side)

beko1987:
You will see it separating



Just pull it off!



Here is the switch and mains cable join



Pull it all out



Open the black box and separate the two blue wires



Pull the brown wire from the switch and the cable is off! Remove the other wire from the switch too



Feed the spinal cable out the back of the chassis, and pull it from the cable run



Next, we need to remove the Post Motor Filter. If you have suffered the full house motor blowout this will be messy...

Pop the two tabs carefully up

beko1987:
Then one last tab at the front



and off it lifts!



This isn't the worst one I've seen! If it properly catches fire this goes all crispy!



Now, remove the clutch cover. Prise it off from the top and bottom of the join with a good screwdriver, the clips will give up fairly easily





Now flip the machine over, and twist the 3 tabs 1/4 a turn and remove the base plate





Lift the belt if you have the lifter, or just remove the brushroll





At this point, go and cut all the hair and threads off your brushroll! It's much easier when it's out of the machine

beko1987:
Now to remove the inner brushroll housing. I use a screwdriver very carefully at the edges by the pivot points. A slight prise up and they pop out. Keep everything square though



When it's hanging, pull the internal hose off the machine





Remove the wand u-bend suction channel



Then, remove the clutch cover. Put the machine in the 'upright' position if it isn't already. One screw is hidden 10cm down in this hole



The other two are more easy to spot! Then lift the cover off and out



Pop the motor to clutch belt off



Grab both belts and pull HARD AND FIRMLY



And off it comes! If the belts are knackered or the white wheel has melted away, search the forums because we have rebuild threads, and Mvacs sell the white wheel, or a reconditioned clutch.

beko1987:
Now for the main head. Either side is a plastic circlip. Pop one end up and the rest will follow



Once removed, flop the machine down like so



Then pull either end out slightly





and lift the head off the vacuum



Remove the air path cover next to the motor by pushing up the clip and lifting the cover off





Now, remove 4 screws. 2 here on one side
