Hi, I’m Rory from eSpares.
In this video, I am going to show you how to replace a cable rewind on a Dyson DC05.
Now you may need to replace the cable rewind if, say, it’s not rewinding in properly
or he may have even cut the cable.
So, safety first, make sure its unplugged before you get to work. I’m just going to
start by removing the bin and the filters, as well as the cyclone top.
Basically, to get to the cable rewind, which sits in here, I need to uncouple the main
body. It comes in two parts and its held together by five screws. There’s one down there and
there’s two either side behind the wheels. What you need to do is take your torques head
screwdriver, which is available on the eSpares website, and basically you need to pull the
wheel back and then unscrew and that’s what I’m going to do.
Now I’ve taken all the screws out I can separate the body. Now the body comes in three
main parts: this is the upper motor assembly, the actuators sit on here; this is the motor
assembly. Now I just need to uncouple these wires. And in the motor assembly is, of course,
where the motor is housed and, finally, this is the lower motor assembly in which the cable
rewind sits. Now, I’m just going to take the wheels off of the lower motor assembly
because when it comes to reassembling the body it’s a lot easier to do with the wheels
off. So I’m just going to pop out these plugs and use a flathead screwdriver to remove
the wheel and just do the same on the other side. Ok, now I’ve removed the wheels, I
just need to get rid of this cable entry. I can just unclip it like that. Now we can
remove out old cable rewind. Here we have our new cable rewind. As you can see, it looks
a bit different to the old one but this is just a newer version and it does the same
job. What you need to do first is remove this cleet. This just keeps it tidy when it’s
in transit but as soon as you’ve got it you can get rid of it and chuck it away.
What I’m going to first is just feed the cable through the part here so I can refit
my cable entry which just clips back on. There you go. I now can put my new cable rewind
in its position. This part must line up with this part here and this slot must line up
with this part here because, if it doesn’t, you won’t be able to fit the whole vacuum
back together again. Ok, there you go. Just make sure that the wire looks good. And now,
I can recouple with the motor assembly so I’m just going to do that. There you go.
And now I can put my motor assembly back on the lower motor assembly . It just sits on
like that. And now, I can put my upper motor assembly on. I’m just going to remove this
part here to make it easier for myself. Now this can be quite tricky but there is a trick
to putting the upper motor back on. You need to first make sure the round parts are back
on before you’re able to click it back into place. So there you go. There you go, back
together. Now we just need to put all the screws back in, put the wheels back on and
we’re done.
There you go, one new cable rewind on a Dyson DCO5. Thanks for watching.
