    Re: Spin Cycle Leaves Clothes Wet

    But I’ve used the machine many times on that programme without this issue. It’s not specific to any one programme.

    Presumably the same arrangement as on the Dyson brushroll motors, they’re DC motors fed at around 240V from the PCB.

    Re: Dyson DC04 seals

    The duct leading to the motor is the one on the right (as you face the front of your DC04). Your machine is probably at least ten years old now, so as the seals age and dry out they tend to lose their elasticity and allow air leakage. Lubricate them with something non-oil based.
    If the attachment clip at the top is not holding the cyclone assembly in place properly then it should be obvious.
    Best way to clean the cyclone unit is to remove the cyclone lid and then jet wash it. Or at least flush it under running water. But if you do this, give it at least 24 hours to dry out-any water remaining in it will kill your motor.
    Also change the post motor filter while you are doing the above-the bottom filter is invariably overlooked and clogged with carbon after a few years.
    Also check the changeover valve for blockages.

    Update: it was a fault on the PCB-the heater relay.
    Got that repaired by QER and all now working fine. Thanks to all who gave advice.

    Thanks. The other possible cause I have researched is a blocked pressure chamber?
    Or does this error code narrow it down specifically to a heater fault?

    Re: PCB fault or something else?

    OK, so I should check for continuity at the heater terminals then. But what is the cause of a flooded base tray, and how do I check this please?
