Re: Dyson DC04 – switch removal

This seems to be a common fault on dco4’s i’ve done mine, my inlaws and my neighbours, it’s a bit of a pain because the connections are crimped spade terminals, halfords sell a comparable one since you can’t reuse them. when you break the knob dyson will send you a new one, i think i got one free by first class next day post, even if you have to buy they aren’t runious (unlike the hoses which will go next).

Cracked it, not literally!! The shaft is splined all that has happened is that the (plastic) splines have worn off the fan, all that was required to get it off was to re align the small section of fan spline that remained (splines on fan are longer than splines on shaft) with the shaft spline and bingo off it came.

Thanks for all your help and a huge thank you from my wife who has lived with a semi mantled tumble dryer for 5 months

was going to cut off with a very fine saw as a last result, take your point about going too far. am worried that ill damage the fixing mechanism whatever it may be. i presume there must be something that stops it revolving on the shaft (maybe part of fan maybe part of shaft) and its that which i am afraid of damaging.

also point which occurred to me, if its the shaft thats damaged ie whatever has come adrift is part of the motor rather than the fan, buying a new fan wont help as ill be unable to fix it. at this point it becomes a new motor and hence scrap

the benifit of yr wisdom is much appreciated

Re: Whirlpool AWZ 541/3 Tumble Dryer Screeching Fan/Motor No

OK

im baffled, how do i get the old fan off, do i need a special tool or something. it spins freely on the shaft but will not come off. Am i missing something
