Dyson DC08

[dames]

Hi all ,
When I start up our DC08 it sounds like a flap/seal closing over?

Is this just due to dirty filters or could it be something else?

Cheers

Could be a blockage in the brush head, main hose or extension tubes.

Had a Smartie tube end jammed in a hose the other day which was causing a popping sound.

HTH 🙂

A piece of paper sounds like that too!

A good time to give it a once over me thinks 😀

Hope you get it sorted,

Hi guys thanx for the replies .

To be honest I’m pretty sure it’s all clear , I’ll do it a again tho’ to check it all.

I had it open down to the motor yesterday to fiddle with the switch ( it’s worn ) I glued a piece of old credit card on top of it , jobs a good un 😀

Had it going while it was in bits and was fine But once I sat the filter and the case it sits in on it , the flap noise happened again. Is ther some sort of safety valve inside the motor casing?

I’ll wash the filter again and try that ( is there a shelf life for the sponge bit ? )

Job for today then :0)

You say you have washed the filter (blue sponge)but you have to wash the yellow outer as well.

Hi , yes washed the yellow tray as well.

Was trying to get the cyclone apart ( its old so not worried about any warranty stuff ) , removed the screw under the handle and there are 2 obvious plastic clips holding it . Before I go bustin them :0) , whats the procedure to undo these , just push in and down?

EDIT: On closer inspection these clips would appear to be screws , question is how to get to them? :0)

I want to strip it down and completely wash the inside , is this possible?

Oh and why did you change the site? , this well laggy :0)

Cheers

WOW , it’s like it’s brand new again lol. I even stripped down the spinning brush head attatchement and it works again after years. I won’t be using that one too often tho , it’s a bit of a ripper on the carpet I think.
