Do Dyson vacuum cleaners (DC04) have a thermal cut out? Ours will run fine
for ten mins or so then simply stop. Let it stand for an hour and it will
start again.

Thoroughly cleaned all pipework, ducting and filters but nothing has made a
difference.
Scrap it start again?

Thermal cut out
Most Dyson vacuums have a built in safety system that stops the machine
if it begins to overheat. This usually happens because the filters need
washing or your machine is blocked. If your machine cuts out, unplug it
and leave it for at least an hour to cool down. Remember to turn the
power off and unplug the machine before you check the filters and look
for blockages prior to re-starting the machine.
Any non-domestic use may adversely affect the filter performance such as
vacuuming up builders dust.

Yes.

Thoroughly cleaned all pipework, ducting and filters but nothing has made a
difference.


It's either due to lack of airflow, or due to the motor generating more
heat than it should.

If it's the motor, it may show up as the motor pitch changing without
you changing the load on it, and/or a burning smell.

For lack of airflow, the motor will spin faster. When it's working
properly, momentarily blocking the air inlet by hand will cause quite
a speedup of the motor. If it's already partially blocked, the motor
is already sped up and momentarily blocking the air inlet by hand will
not cause so much extra speedup. One by one, remove all the airflow
components (loop at bottom of hose attachment, dust cannister and
pre-motor filter, post motor filter), and when you take off the one
which is blocking it, the motor speed will drop to normal.

Does the brush roll rotate freely if you remove the belt? This could be
creating additional load if the bearings are tight.

Have you tried to remove the belt on a DC04? You have to almost strip
the machine to do it. Fairly sure it's too tight to enable the beater
bar to slide out of its carriage slots to unthread from the belt.

I agree, and I have both. But the "little" Dyson, whilst expensive, is
amazingly convenient. It's small enough to hang in the hall so is much
less hassle to get out for little jobs. Just bought one for son's new
London flat which only has room to swing a Manx cat.

Not in my case. I am not uncritical of Dyson; I had a DC01 and it was
heavy, awkward to use, and unreliable. I admire his creativity. I don't
have a problem with manufacturing overseas: he has a significant UK R&D
organisation and reportedly does not practice tax avoidance. I like the
airblade, I am more suspicious of the fan. I don't have an objection to
a bit of showmanship and his "awards" seem well thought out. I welcome
more engineering "role models" in the UK like McMurtry, Noble, and
Dyson. The DC59 is only the second product I have bought; time will tell
whether it is reliable, but I find it very effective.

Been considerign a dyson fan but on looking closly I think they are over priced for what they are so won;t be buying one. I will be buying (most likey) the next iMac my last one's been going 5 years only seriously crashed a few times and never had to reinstall anything just restarted.
I replaced my old dyson animal after 3 years but I don't think I should have 'hooverd' up the brick and mortor dust with it.
I brought a portable dyson and now I have a upright dyson.
I like things that look good and work well for the uses I have for them.

That's all you need ona DC04 to remove the floor plate, blockages are
accessed by the bits that just unclip. Taking the belt of the beater
bar is not a normal requirement for clearing blockages.

Have you tried to remove the belt on a DC04? You have to almost strip
the machine to do it. Fairly sure it's too tight to enable the beater
bar to slide out of its carriage slots to unthread from the belt.

They've sure learned the lesson for the DC59, which is a joy to strip
down to clear blockages (just needs a coin).

Something you've able to do with Sebo machines for decades.



Can't beat Henry for repairability and spares availability.


I agree, and I have both. But the "little" Dyson, whilst expensive, is
amazingly convenient. It's small enough to hang in the hall so is much
less hassle to get out for little jobs. Just bought one for son's new
London flat which only has room to swing a Manx tomcat.


Fixed your post

Presumably by its undercarriage.

ROFL!

Some Manx cats have very short tails; used to have one like that, but I
don't think the purists consider them "proper".

Much prefer my Earlex. We did aquire a Henry but for normal household
cleaning it wasn't as good as the DC04, for DIY the Earlex does wet
and dry, bigger capacity, more suck, reuseable cartridge filter,
power outlet so it switches on/off with connected appliance, tool
storage, half the cost...

For regular carpet cleaning and general house cleaning then I prefer a
Dyson.


I prefer something that works, currently a Dyson DC04 that is getting
on for 15 years old and at that age has out lived, and out performs,
any other vacuum we've had. It was bought before any of the other
makers had cyclone based vacuums in their ranges.
