Ages ago, Summer 2018 to be precise, I went to the car boot.
I found an awful vacuum cleaner
[attachimg=1]
About 20 minutes later, another equally awful vacuum cleaner joined it!
[attachimg=2]
And it transpires I bought 2 generations of the same machine!
[attachimg=3]
The filter on one was utter scrap
[attachimg=4]
One of the hoses went off to live somewhere else
[attachimg=5]
Leaving me with one!
[attachimg=6]
So, formalities over with, let's strip it down!
[attachimg=7]
Hose off
[attachimg=8]
awful awful AWFUL small tool off
[attachimg=9]
-
It's not even the just as shit one with a dusting brush built in, so a 2 in 1 tool!
[attachimg=1]
Hose end off now
[attachimg=2]
[attachimg=3]
Let's see if the wands come apart
[attachimg=4]
One end cap off
[attachimg=5]
2 end caps off
[attachimg=6]
The 2 halves then fall off
[attachimg=7]
revealing a red bit
[attachimg=8]
Which I think does the locking into place
[attachimg=9]
-
Floortool next
[attachimg=1]
[attachimg=2]
MANY big clips later
[attachimg=3]
Only light damage occured
[attachimg=4]
The front hard floor brushes lift out, and the brush strip slides out
[attachimg=5]
The rear wheels, however broke when I tried to remove them, the very thin plastic bar snapped... Will come to that later... At least the air path was nice and clean though
[attachimg=6]
[attachimg=7]
[attachimg=8]
[attachimg=9]
-
The pedal snaps out of the bottom part
[attachimg=1]
And it's done! Onto the main machine
[attachimg=2]
Bag door open
[attachimg=3]
And removed very easily
[attachimg=4]
The thick sponge diffuser lifts off
[attachimg=5]
The front hand grip is screwed in as well
[attachimg=6]
[attachimg=7]
It was filthy inside
[attachimg=8]
I removed the post motor filter
[attachimg=9]
-
It was quite clean, but then was washed before I started using it
[attachimg=1]
Time for the fantastic* dust box
[attachimg=2]
Top cover off
[attachimg=3]
Rubber seal out
[attachimg=4]
Handle
[attachimg=5]
Little sticker
[attachimg=6]
Lid seal removed
[attachimg=7]
Sadly this is all bonded together so I can go no further
[attachimg=8]
Pre motor filter, this was washed too not long before this picture was taken!
[attachimg=9]
-
It wasn't bonded together! There were 4 clips and the bottom came off
[attachimg=1]
[attachimg=2]
Into the machine itself now
[attachimg=3]
Pre motor filter was clean
[attachimg=4]
[attachimg=5]
Bag chamber seal off
[attachimg=6]
Rear is unscrewed and removed
[attachimg=7]
Buttons removed
[attachimg=8]
Lens for the bag full indicator which I could never get to work removed
[attachimg=9]
-
Post filter seal out
[attachimg=1]
And we can take the motor cover off!
[attachimg=2]
There's a PCB
[attachimg=3]
[attachimg=4]
Which sits on this cover that goes over the cord reel
[attachimg=5]
Which itself just lifts out
[attachimg=6]
And can sit out of the way
[attachimg=7]
Little air tube for the crap bag full light. Sorry, bin full. Or more likely just clogged because you've done 3 rooms...
[attachimg=8]
Then the motor lifts out
[attachimg=9]
-
The fan chamber seal falls out
[attachimg=1]
And we can pull the motor out of the case, and disconnect the wires
[attachimg=2]
Pull the loom through the motor casing
[attachimg=3]
The spotless* 'sound deadening'
[attachimg=4]
Motor top mount
[attachimg=5]
Motor credentials
[attachimg=6]
Comm was good, and it ran really well anyway
[attachimg=7]
More filthy foam
[attachimg=8]
Some lovely reassuring gravel in the bottom of the motor housing there...
[attachimg=9]
-
Wheels pop off
[attachimg=1]
Front one levers off
[attachimg=2]
And comes apart
[attachimg=3]
[attachimg=4]
Should have put this at the top of this thread really!
[attachimg=5]
Then onto the shit turbo brush which is the ONLY thing that makes it a higher model than HooverLux's Green one!
[attachimg=6]
Open it up
[attachimg=7]
And unclip the front 2 edges from the other side
[attachimg=8]
Pop the baseplate and brushroll out
[attachimg=9]
-
Brushroll is fine
[attachimg=1]
Turbine and belt out
[attachimg=2]
Belt details
[attachimg=3]
We can strip the turbine now. End caps and nylon washer out
[attachimg=4]
Then pull them apart
[attachimg=5]
Then, on this one the tool port comes apart as well!
[attachimg=6]
Done! Everything was washed, dried and polished.
[attachimg=7]
And I fitted the front wheels first
[attachimg=8]
[attachimg=9]
-
Back wheels on
[attachimg=1]
No more gravel!
[attachimg=2]
The now flexible foam goes in one side
[attachimg=3]
And then the other
[attachimg=4]
The motor loom got passed back through and plugged in, and the motor fitted to the case, and the case fitted to the machine
[attachimg=5]
The PCB will be annoying whilst you refit the cord reel
[attachimg=6]
But soon you can fit its holder
[attachimg=7]
And fit the cover
[attachimg=8]
Clip the lens back in
[attachimg=9]
-
Post motor filter cover back on (the filter wasn't dry here...)
[attachimg=1]
Onto the bin now! The mark of the assembly still present in the foam despite a good scrub!
[attachimg=2]
Everything came up well. The airflow didnt last long enough for the grit to sandblast the thing cloudy!
[attachimg=3]
Clipped it onto the base
[attachimg=4]
This is as good as the pre filter will get, and it's good enough!
[attachimg=5]
In it goes
[attachimg=6]
Lid
[attachimg=7]
Bits put back on the lid
[attachimg=8]
Lid put back on the bin, bin fitted to the vacuum
[attachimg=9]
-
Re-washed post filter
[attachimg=1]
and fitted
[attachimg=2]
This took AGES to polish!
[attachimg=3]
Handle back on
[attachimg=4]
Diffuser back on
[attachimg=5]
Lid fitted to the vacuum
[attachimg=6]
Vacuum done!
[attachimg=7]
[attachimg=8]
Onto the floor tool now! The pedal-bone connects to the lower chassis-bone
[attachimg=9]
-
Much cleaner now!
[attachimg=1]
[attachimg=2]
Pivot point/tool bit-bone connected to the lower chassis-bone
[attachimg=3]
Annoyingly, that stupid little plastic rod that broke earlier was integral to the floor tool assembly... So I got the qbond out, floor tool works perfectly well without its rear wheels
[attachimg=4]
Brushes refitted
[attachimg=5]
Brush assembly fitted to the lower chassis
[attachimg=6]
Snap the top cover on
[attachimg=7]
And no-one would ever know
[attachimg=8]
Locking ring fitted to the tool bit for the turbo tool now
[attachimg=9]
-
Turbine fitted together
[attachimg=1]
And it, the belt and the brushroll can be fitted to the chassis
[attachimg=2]
Baseplate fitted
[attachimg=3]
Top cover fitted
[attachimg=4]
All the tools were done!
[attachimg=5]
Wand now! Red locking tab fitted
[attachimg=6]
The bit that makes the adjuster spring fits to the other side of that
[attachimg=7]
2 outer covers on, end rings on and job done! Clip the hose end to the hose
[attachimg=8]
And we are done!
-
[attachimg=1]
[attachimg=2]
[attachimg=3]
And actually, I should have posted this in post 1, this happened before the refurb too...
Which was great fun!
Thanks for reading!
