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