The belt on my Dyson DC01 keeps breaking. At the point where the belt is breaks (it only breaks across about 50{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of the width and then comes off) there is a lot of wear as if it has jammed and spun on the motor shaft. There are signs of wear on the plastic casing parts as if the belt has been rubbing. In fact some of the thin plastic webs next to the path of the belt are cut through.
Any advice on what the problem might be ?
Thanks
William
Re: Dyson DC01 Belt Breaking
yup
the roller isnt running straight
its because the hood isnt on properly
youll probably find the opposite hood bush has come away
on the other side of the cleaner from the belt, ull see a round yellow (or blue ) fitting , the hood will have come away
bit awkward to put it back on, but it will go
hope this helps
Re: Dyson DC01 Belt Breaking
The agitator brush has a raised, bevelled section on which the belt runs. Through use, this has a tendency to wear. This can cause the belt to drift across and cause the problems you describe.
In this scenario, a new agitator is required. Best contact Dyson, as there were variants as to the type of ends employed.
