Hi
I have a silver and lime DC04 that keeps thowing it’s belt. It did this a lot and eventualy the belt snagged and burnt/wore through. I fitted a new one and realised how much the old one had stretched. I thought the new belt being tighter would stop it coming off but even the new belt has now come off. Is there any way of stopping it slipping off? Or is this simply a design fault that isn’t solvable?Any help appreciated.
BGH
Re: Dyson DC04 throwing belt
It’s normally the brush roller that causes this, either that or the main chassis is worn and the belt is not running “true”.
Check for wear on the brush roll where the belt runs 😉

Re: Dyson DC04 throwing belt
It also worth checking the brushroll housing (bright green thing). Any worn patches on that will cause the machine to snap belts constantly.
Belts jumping off?!?!?! See if there’s any rust on the motor shaft, and stop bumping it over rugs/mats.
There’s also a thin metal rod, that holds the belt in place. This should be part of the brushroll/belt cover that you remove to get access to the belt. Is that rod still there?
Power off before investigating please.
