subject: Need To Get Your Dyson Vacuum Cleaner Serviced Or Repaired? [print this page] Although the Dyson range of vacuum cleaners are one of the best on the market, having such performance comes at a small but manageable price. Dyson use a variety of plastic parts and as such you will find one or two may need replacing from time to time.
The Dyson has many 'exposed' plastic parts which can get broken if abused. These less than robust items are usually cheap to replace and is no reason for not keeping faith with a relatively expensive machine.
Also, many of the flimsier parts are easily accessible and can be replaced simply by the user. Although, as the machine gets older, like all other electrical items, more major parts may need replacing and this is when you should take it to an expert.
Older machines can tend to suffer from broken electrical leads. Like any other appliance, constant flexing causes things to break and being an electrical part, it is simpler, easier and safer just to have the whole lead replaced for anew item. It is a relatively low cost repair.
As your Dyson gets older, electrical parts may need replacing. The main part being the motor and although it is a pain, every performance electrical appliance that uses a motor will occasionally need a replacement motor. If you hear more noise than usual from the bottom of your machine, this could be a sign the motor may need replacing soon. If you smell smoke or burning, it is best to cease using the vacuum cleaner and get it examined.
Simpler jobs that may need doing are the hoses. These are exposed and bashed about and can be prone to splitting. Once again, this is a simple repair that can be sorted cheaply and quickly and may add extra performance to the machine too.
Loss of performance can also be attributed to the brushes underneath becoming fouled by string and such like. These things can get tightly wound around the spindle and even on to the drive shaft and create problems or lack of performance. Removing these offending items can be done yourself quickly and easily and may give you a surprise on how much performance was being lost.
Safety first. Before taking on any repairing or servicing to your Dyson, please remember to remove the plug completely out of the socket. This is after all and electrical appliance and should be treated with appropriate caution.
