Hi Guys

I have a DYSON DC 40 (UK) , the brushes are not turning, does anyone know what the voltage feed is for the Brush Roller motor ?, or what the motor resistance would be !.

cheers
Spike

Around 320-330vDC is usual.

If you have 7v as mentioned on the other topic, you need to be looking at the PCB or the loom before it that breaks.

Thanks for that,

ps: just figuring, that seems a strange voltage !.

Has anyone had a problem with the upright micro switch ?.

Hi
Just found the fault, one of the cables going to the head motor feed socket has broken, now there is enough cable for me to solder a piece in and shrink wrap it, now the question will be what is the easiest way to just get at the bottome of the feed socket ?.

cheers

That's yoke loom failure, which afflicts almost every DC40 eventually. Don't splice a piece of cable in, it will fail again soon after. Buy a new yoke loom, which is about a tenner (Man Vacs have them). They redesigned it slightly and the new ones seem to be OK.
The stripdown on the stickies explains how to gain access: once you've done your first one, it's quite easy.

If that's the loom I mentioned, better to change the small loom as a repair only lasts a few weeks due to how it flexes.

Be aware, ERP and non ERP differ.

In terms of strip down, there is a sticky on it.
