Dyson DC05 Is it possible to replace the cable in a DC05 cable rewind assembly? I do not appear to be able to remove the spring housing from the rest of the assembly the disk with the cable exit hole seems to be fixed is it removable?

Dyson has the manuals for some of their products on their product support page. See http://www.dyson.co.uk/support/dc05/dc05-absolute and look on the right hand side of the page. The direct link to the manual is http://www.dyson.co.uk/medialibrary/Files/Dyson/Support/downloads/UK/floorcare/Manuals/dc05_uk_manual_120710%20pdf.pdf . If you have a different DC05 model start here: http://www.dyson.co.uk/support/cylinders.aspx and select your specific vacuum. (The manual appears to be the same.)

I hope this helps.

Hi David,

Unfortunately the DC05's Motorhead is supplied as a complete assembly, so we're unable to offer individual components to repair your Motorhead. If you'd like to order a replacement Motorhead assembly, you can do so via our Helpline on 0800 298 0298, or through our online store:

It will be much easier to replace the whole rewind unit. They are a pain to repair and there are many other things to go wrong with a worn one. Replace the unit.

Hi its Darran at Dyson.

From your description of the problem, it sounds as though the bin inner is missing. If you remove the bin and cyclone assembly from the machine and then seaprate the two pieces as if you were going to empty it, you should have a coloured piece of plastic in the bottom of the clear bin with a large black rubber seal around the top. If you dont, you will need to purchase a new bin assembly via our website at www.dyson.co.uk or via our Helpline on 0800 298 0298.

Kind regards

Hi its Darran at Dyson.

To empty your DC05, press the button on the top of the machine at the front of the carrying handle to open the lid. Then lift off the cyclone top and bin assembly. Over a dustbin, press the button on the front of the cyclone/bin assembly to separate the two sections. You can then tip the contents of the bin directly into the dustbin.

For full step by step instructions on how to empty the bin, please visit www.dyson.co.ukl/support.

Kind regards

Hi

Try this site does manuals on Dc05 repairs.

Hi,

Check for either voltage to switch or if your not happy or compettant working on live mains.
Switch meter to ohms ensure vacuum is unpluged from mains follow live wire (brown) from plug to exit point on the back of cable rewinder check for continuity shold be dead short if it is check switch if this is ok move to neutral (blue) wire again check from plug to rear of cable winder.
The neutral then goes off to moter again check for dead short,
I think from experience that you will have A break in either live or neutral in the mains lead going to cable winder.
If it is its realy easy to replace winder they come with lead all ready fitted.
If you need one contact me.

What tool do I need to open a Dyson DC05??
Posted by fixdaddy on Apr 24, 2008
I have a DC05 vacuum cleaner with a few minor problems which I am sure could
easily be fixed if I could open it up. The problem is that the fasteners
(presumably screw heads) are recessed so deeply in the plastic moldings
that I cannot reach them with any tools to find out whether I have the right
one.
Has anyone on this vacuum ever successfully serviced a DC05 to know what
tool is needed so I could buy one.
Thanks in advance

How to remove wheel to access cable storage area? Then ... How to replace electric cable.

Hello,
I would advise you to ALWAYS to FIRST UNPLUG YOUR VACUUM before beginning any service procedure.
I checked with some of my contacts in the vacuum business and they told me that it may not be a United States vacuum and it might be a Canadian or European vacuum and may not be customer friendly to service, if you have a contact with a MAC or Snap On dealer or a metric auto store – show them the screw and they might have something to fit or release the screw head, as per the removing of the wheel and replacing the electric cable, check with your local vac dealer or you may want to check with the Dyson dealer website and or phone # listed below:
