Title: Need some serial numbers (first three digits) from some machines?
Post by: MVacs on May 18, 2015, 07:04:43 pm
Does anyone have a DC75, V6 or any Cinetic handy?

If so, I need the first three digits from the serial number please to look up some stuff on them.

Thanks in advance.  :tiphat:

Hi, the first 3 digits from a DC75 I have are JD4. I doubt it has been registered yet. I can have a reasonable supply of these  for £210, all with under a months use. Some have never been used. They want £179 for similarly used V6's. Everything is in original boxes with tools, instructions and in some cases extra accessories.

Thanks for that Sid. That's one down.   :tiphat:

I don't need them for registration or anything, rather we are compiling a list for software and machine ID purposes and I am missing some info from late machines. Also US and Oz machines.

Any others you need? I can go and have a look and note them down. I only bought the DC75 to try out really before selling on. Performance is good, to be honest, but it just feels flimsy compared to a 7 or 14, but better than a 41.

Shop assistant: "Excuse me sir, would you like help with these Dysons?"
Stewart: "No, Thank you"
Assistant: Well this is a Dyson, the best one you can buy, look at how powerful it is * plugs in and presses the cyclone catch, drops to the floor and empties* OMG"  but let me show you how powerful the DC33 suction is *extends wand, cant get it down* OMG  no way *exerts entire body weight pulling the wand down*
Stewart: Lol, told you I didn't need help but yeah enjoy hoovering! *takes serial number pics whilst the assistant is distracted and leaves the store* lol ;D

MJ4 are the first 3 digits on a V6 Fluffy they had there today. Nothing else there that was current though.

We have spent some time collating international Dyson serial numbers to incorporate them into a tool that will help with machine identification and parts look up. We are probably over 90% there now. We may be missing some Australian and Canadian serial numbers, together with some of the newer Dysons from everywhere.

So if anyone wants to test it, just enter the first three digits of your serial number and it should tell you your Dyson model. If it doesn't recognise your Dyson serial number, please tell us so that we can add it.

So that was me today in Currys being eyed suspiciously as I was dismantling shop floor machines with a Dictaphone in one hand.  :chuckle:

Could still use anyone with late machines or overseas machines putting their number in the tool here (https://manchestervacs.co.uk/Dyson/serial-lookup) and seeing how we are doing.

I've just come across an oddity with DC07 serial numbers starting with 093. This doesn't come up on Dysons website or Manchester Vacs, are they a local special?
 A customer has just brought me in a picture of his because we said he must have written it down wrong. So looking back at my records we've had at least one in the workshop.

I had a Dyson with 093, it was either the early yellow and grey Dc07 standard or the purple and blue Allergy

I don't make a note of the colours and this customer had one of each you describe but really glad its not me going mad.

I've had a few that don't show on the dyson website DC04s DC07s and a DC19T2, never thought to keep a note of the numbers though

I just added that. Thanks.  :tiphat:

This is exactly the type of thing I was looking for. Looking at the ranges, there is an 092 and an 094 (which are DC07's), but 093 not mentioned.

Super!  :king:

"DC29" (Origin) cylinder - yellow cyclone top.

They also did a "DC29 - Animal" with a pink cyclone top

Not sure if they are generic Irish model numbers or retailer ones.

Cheers Eddie.

I think you guys have your own serial numbers (Hence the IE), but strong info. I'll add it now. Thanks.  :tiphat:

Post by: Eddie Honda on March 31, 2016, 07:00:07 pm
We do have our own serials, although I think some of the older models share the same serial prefixes. This is the tag from the DC02:

Dyson DC02 Serial Number (https://flic.kr/p/FP1vq5) by E Honda (https://www.flickr.com/photos/19864651@N00/), on Flickr

850 is already in the database though.

The later models though have the dual UK/RoI customer service telephone number stickers. The older ones with helpline number stickers just have the RoI customer service number on them.

I take it that this (DC29) machine is just a variant of the DC19?

Yes, it looks like it. Other nearby serial numbers equate to DC29 machines in Australia that go to our DC19 page for spares. From the info I have, they are all DC19s by another name. They often change model numbers between markets for the same machine. Our serial number DB is now more comprehensive than any of Dysons own singular public facing ones. We can build the domestic one from machines that come in for repair, but for overseas models we rely on parts inquiries and user input such as yours, so thanks again. Every one added means someone else who uses our tool is pointed to the right page.   :-*

Thanks. I'll get ordering!

Anything we don't have on the site, please ask, we have rakes of stuff not on the site.

I see what you mean with that 850 one, despite the IE in the serial number, it comes up as a DC02 standard. But they have become craftier since then to stop people like us doing what we do. So they change numbers across markets.

Your 746 one doesn't come up on Dyson UK, and on dyson.ie there isnt even a place to put it that I can see!  :sick0012:  Why we had that tool written. Next time someone from Eire puts in 746 on our site, we will know his machine is what we know as a DC19 thanks to your input.

For any passing readers, please test our tool with any and all European, US, Canadian and Australasian models. If your model doesn't show up, please tell us.

That used DC29 was handed over to me in (I think) the replacement's box, a DC28c Musclehead...

I guess the AC, MU, SSB means something and I presume IE = Ireland.

Although the serial sticker says - UK - and DC28c ErP?

There is a DC28c Musclehead on both IE and UK websites, although the prefix HP3 doesn't work on the Irish site. What a load of old bobbins!

Just had a German DC51 brought in for me to look at, serial number EA9. Came in as the motor is very loud but works fine. It's had a new motor fitted when it was used to suck up water so Dyson told her this was going to be her one and only warranty repair.  Now it's really noisy but works fine.

Yup. Did check first but thought I would add it 'just in case'.
