This has happened 2x now with Quаltex motors. 

We very seldom source from them anymore. Their motors aren't what they were. If you have bought from eBay or Amazon from them, I'd expect AI-type replies as they do a lot of volume and it's probably not cost-effective to pay people to answer the questions.

It's really hard to find good YDK-type Dyson motors at the moment. They have suffered a race to the bottom on pricing by all the big suppliers, and that means quality has taken a hit. As the machines are getting older, and people don't want to pay a lot for a motor, nobody will invest in better ones.

If we do a refurbished Dyson cylinder, I'd rather put a good used genuine one in than an aftermarket new one.

I still use Quаltex motors and find them very good. Yes, I have 2 go bad, but not much. What brand motor do you supply?

Hello MVacs,

Thanks for your reply.

I have a guy who would change internal parts but he didn't know exactly what the cause of the problem was.

I was trying to find out exactly what piece it would be that is causing the problem.

The motor itself is working perfectly on both speeds.

Do you know if there are multiple boards inside the main body and if so what board would control the power to the motorhead?

Regards,

Saw this on facebook, sounds very annoying! I'd set up ebay watches for used wands, and as an intrim measure could you put a tight wrap of electrical tape just above where you want the wand set to, then ram it mildly down to wedge it together?

Was extremely infuriating indeed haha ive duct taped it for the minute just to give it a go and see how the vacuum is lol
Managed to order just the wand button part with the springs and locking pin (6421DG)

In this case, it's usual to change the motor body itself. Very few people repair them internally.

Hello MVacs,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I have tried different working dust bins so the problem is somewhere in the main body.

Thank you very much for the advice.
I will try the tear down and hopefully not make it worse :)

This is Brooke’s Vacuums in Brooklyn, New York.

We visited last month while nearby in New York. They are the oldest vacuum store in Brooklyn, they were the first Dyson dealer in the US, and of course, nowadays they are Sebo dealers too. We had a good chat about all things vacuums with the owner and swapped a few ideas.  :thumbsup:

There is a strip down topic >>here<< on one of those.

If you have an electric hose variant, it will be a broken internal loom near the moving part you mention. They are fiddly to fix though. A used replacement from somewhere like eBay might be the best bet unless you are especially practical.
