I picked this up from eBay as I wanted something with a bit more oopmh to dry my beautiful locks. They are (a quite frankly ridiculous) ยฃ400 on Amazon right now.

This one was sold as faulty, no power, so let's see what's wrong with it and try and fix it!

Hope you enjoy!

Good attempt steve ๐Ÿ‘. I repair these and the cord repair takes me around 20 mins to do. They ALWAYS go exactly where you cut it off. The trick for these is to remove the platic/rubber switch cover, take the 2 small o rings from said cover, and remove the 3 torx screws on tge opposite side, that way you dan remove the half of the handle to get into the wires and access the motor. You can get to the white strain relief by pulling out the old wires and you will see the metal part of the strain relief which you saw when you cut it open. I just use a soldering iron to get to the end of it then pull it out with a pair of grips. It will come out in one piece, throw that away then just feed your live and neutral through the 2 small holes where the original ones were, (the spade connectors to use are 3.5mm female crimps) and i apply some strong glue to hold it in place. Replace everything back and job done, I've done around 50ish of these and its 2nd nature to me now. The one thing we do have in common repairing the Dyson is the tweezers down the fingernail......smarts a little bit. Just a note on replacing the buttons, i always use the B7000 glue to fix them back on, a lot easier to remove if you have to get into it again rather than super glue.

I worked on a Dyson vacuum cleaner recently. I fully go along with 'Not wanting to work on Dyson stuff' ever again. :)

Dyson certainly know how to over inflate their product prices. I recently had to replace a switch on a Dyson v11 as the switch mechanism has a design flaw and breaks over the years, it was a real pain to replace but the new non Dyson switch hopefully has improved strength

Now that the white bit is gone, I would just fill the bottom of the handle where it was with silicone caulking. Once it hardens it will almost be like new. Love the videos!

Dysons are over-engineered, they work well...but once they fail they want you to just buy a new one. Taking them apart is a nightmare, you'll find that with a lot of newer tech. It's part of the "throw-away society" we became accustomed to.

little tip there, steve - @ 5:04, just before you squewered yourself with the tweezers attempting to pull apart those spade terminals.. use a small pick to push the release pin point in the mid of the spade - this is where it locks with the corresponding spade.. should just easily release then.. cable ties either side of the strain relief point is a good repair job / option for this.. can even put a dot of supgerlue under the tie if you really dont want it to move

Well done Steve, although if you google replacement Dyson hair dryer cord they are about a tenner and come with the integrated strain relief are available for some models... I assume they are 3rd party as I canโ€™t see Dyson offering these unless he has had a Jacob Marley moment recently. Keep up the great work ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘

I worked on a similar problem in the past. Not exact. I also had a part grommet collar that was half gone but still sturdy. I used a silica cavity solution similar to when putting cables through walls to block drafts. I used a small injection, and it expanded into the gap. Not brilliant either but it gripped better than it did lol

For a horrible moment, I thought you were going to cut through the plastic while you were holding it. Much relief was had once I saw the vice come out ๐Ÿ˜…

With the way my wife winds her appliance cables, I'm not surprised they fail at the grommet. But heaven forbid I tell her the right way to wind cables ๐Ÿ˜…
