Dyson DC07 / Re: A little help.
« Last post by Dyson4u on April 24, 2024, 01:54:31 pm »
I have fitted it correctly. It works fine though, but looks like there's a gap. But then again, it's probably just me.

Introductions / Re: New Members - How did you find us?

Good morning from Canada
I fortunately found you via a rabbit hole in Google. I have been searching for options to fix or replace a broken/shorted wire in the handle / hose of my Dyson DC46.
I admit though i wasn't looking specifically for a vacuum forum as others have mentioned.
It seems you have alot of knowledge here so thank you for putting in the time and energy to keep the resource alive. It is appreciated.
Thank you

Good day.
Does anyone know if it is possible to get a replacement or compatible wand (or wand with hose) for a Dyson DC46 (I think it is the DC47 for you in the UK?).  I am having a similar issue as another member whereas the powerhead cut intermittently when the hose swiveled in a certain direction (ours only worked when twisted to the right).
Any direction on a possible replacement or if it can be fixed would be greatly appreciated. I know it is an older vacuum but it has been great and the size and weight is perfect for our home.
Thank you in advance for any advice.

Miele Vacuum Cleaners / Re: Miele C3 replacement motor - 408-42/2

This is the problem with Miele and one reason we don't do them. The motors tend not to be interchangeable. Perhaps you could swap the PCB as well and it would work if it all looks the same.

The aftermarket never got these right for these reasons.

Replaced the bushes, no better…

Got my eye on a 410-42/2 from an S6220

Can anyone tell me if it is compatible?

I believe the 408-42/2 is 1600w and the 410-42/2 is 1400w

Sebo Vacuum Cleaners / Re: SEBO X1.1 - Issues with auto height adjust on carpet

It slipped under our radar somehow, hence the late reply.

They can be a bit slow to adjust sometimes. But as you have done already, a new brushroll cures 99% of height control issues.

As it's only 15 years old, there's another decade or two in it yet. The Sebo we use in the showroom is from 1986.  :icon_nod:

Hi

Thanks for getting back to me. I'll be honest after no-one repsonded after the first couple of weeks, I thought it was very much a case of no-one knew what else to suggest.

Since posting that though, after using my X1.1 a few more times, it now appears to be fine, and I'm wondering if there could have been an element of user error.

Our carpet is a reasonably deep pile, however, the high traffic areas are starting to get a little compressed and, on reflection, it was those areas it appeared to be struggling with to properly 'comb' the pile. I think it was a case of the self height adjust wasn't quick enough to adjust itself as the vaccum changed from unworn pile to the more worn pile if you get me, which was previously being made worse by the worn brush roller. The new brush roller and slowing down a bit has solved ther issue.

Hopefully onto another 13 years of fault free vacuuming  8)

Hello Dyson Tech,
thanks for the reply. OK, hear what you are saying, and I bow to your greater experience here, so I will stop worrying about it and continue to use my ~ 35 year old carpet washer/vacuum cleaner as it is.
If only we still made such robust items nowadays.
Regards
