Vac motor repair
I have a Dyson vacuum cleaner with a burnt out motor. I assume that a
build up of dust on the air intake filter caused it to overheat. However, before fitting the horribly expensive replacement is there anything else that *could* have caused the burn out? Could a faulty motor run capacitor cause it to overheat for example? Has anyone else noticed the poor build quality/bad design of Dyson cleaners? sPoNiX |

Vac motor repair
Are you sure it has a run capacitor ??
Most of these sort of devices use a series motor and as you say overheating caused by lack of airflow causes their death. -- Regards ............... Rheilly Phoull "sPoNiX" wrote in message ...

Sure but most vacuum cleaners have universal motors (with brushes) so no capacitors other than for RFI suppression. --- sam | Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ Home Page: http://www.repairfaq.org/ Repair | Main Table of Contents: http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/ +Lasers | Sam's Laser FAQ: http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/lasersam.htm | Mirror Site Info: http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/F_mirror.html Important: The email address in this message header may no longer work.
