and she's done! Hope this helps anyone looking for an answer to any of the DC24's many, many problems!
-
Thank you for the stripdown and the pics.
I'm having trouble with my DC24: its diverter valve won't stay in base mode. I don't really see how the mode is activated, I can manually turn the clear wheel in both positions and the air ducts are free (suction in both positions is ok), but the valve always springs back to hose mode. Maybe my wheel is overturned?
Can you tell from your model, how the wheel is operated, when switching the Dyson from hose to base mode?
Yours,
Ray
-
The changeover valve is operated by the clear wheel and a pivot arm.
With the wand in place, the wand pushes the flap down, which pushes the lever around, turnig the clear disc and moving tbe little hose to the left as you look at the machine.
Is the assembly on the left in tact? Should be 2 locating lugs, and a further lug that moves around the cutouts in the chassis. You should be able to manipulate it by hand with the wand and cyclone off to check operation.
-
The assembly is ok, I can move the clear wheel and the little hose switches position. I will check for what the wand does to the wheel when I get back home. Thanks for the fast answer!
-
Stupid me :'(
I was checking the diverter valve when reassembling the Dyson after I cleant the two little air hoses on the side of the base (the one from the diverter and the one below on the way to the base). AND I SIMPLY CHECKED THE DIVERTER VALVE WITHOUT PUTTING THE WAND BACK IN PLACE!. I was completely unaware of the wand actually "operating" the clear wheel.
A big THANK YOU :bow: to this forum ... and beko in particular for the fast response and guiding me to the "magic" wand.
I was all set and ready to send the vacuum in to Dyson Germany.
Cheers,
Ray
-
No worries, glad you got it fixed. Just remember to turn the brushroll off when not vacuuming carpets and she wont go pop too soon!
-
Another thanks for this tear down and rebuild.
I have got a dc24 for literally a couple of quid and I want to tear it down as its filthy and needs its dead brush bar remedying.
Very much appreciated.
-
Excellent, all the best with it! Their silly cheap if your willing to put the work in!
Does the reset button need pressing on the brushroll housing? If that doesnt fire it into life then try a PCB
-
I have tried that but no dice sadly.
They are a little more involved than the DC07's but I have repaired a DC27 so I think I can take the next step!
Will take a multi meter to the pcb and see if it is giving out any juice, would rather the motor is dead as they are cheaper ;D
-
Knowing the 24 it could be both!
Their not too bad, just fiddly. The rear wheels, red pedal and associated springs are the fiddly bits, as is the spring that sits under the middle red part of the cyclone release, it has to go in a very specific way always takes me a few attempts, sadly you have to reassemble the cyclone ever time to check!

Forgot to say, I had a dc24 the other week with no reset button on the brush bar just blanked off, when did that happen?

Late model! Happened in 2012/2013 I believe, the brush motor should be spinning slightly slower too and the head clip is red

Correct

Hi, you seem to know your stuff on these machines - wonder if you can help. I've just bought a used dc24. It worked well for a few days, then when vacuuming the rug the brush bar stopped. I tried pushing the reset but no good. Taking the head apart I get 240vac coming onto the pcb but no voltage on the output to the motor. I've checked the reset switch, but the 2 contacts seem to be open circuit all the time, even when the button is depressed. Should these go closed circuit, or should they be normally closed and go open when the button's pushed? I have been told if the pcb his faulty then the motor is too probably. Is there any way I can check this?
I'd be grateful for any info you might have.
