I buy things from ebay and get donations too, and i try to repair them, some things work out and others don't. I've only been doing this for a couple of years but love the challenge of repairing broken items. I've mastered GHD hairdryers and I'm currently on Dysons. I've been looking for videos for the Dyson and only got useful content from 'Thrifty tool shed’ channel which I've learnt alot by watching him.
I've decided to create my own content on the Dyson hairdryers and hope to be doing the straighteners in the near future. I'm just a working guy who does this as a hobby so don't expect the likes of MMV or stezstix fix, I only wish I could be that clever.
If you would like me to do any content on the GHD or DYSON hairdryers then message me.Anyway i hope whoever watches this actually gets some helpful tips from it.

Also I've shared some totally unrelated videos too.

    Maybe you can just 3d print that white plastic thingy. Save more time for future repair

    @@trym2121 I’m looking into getting a 3D printer and just doing some research for a home/hobby model. If I can learn how to print one it would be perfect for me, I can’t buy them from anywhere so it would be nice to print my own. I’d like to have someone 3D print one just to see how they are. Any suggestions on a mid range model would be greatly appreciated 👍

    @@nickfox9306 I was well happy I managed to get it going again, I always say I’m not a professional in any way shape or form but to get that satisfaction when something actual works is immense. I’ve never done that level of repair on a robot vac before. I hate all those little plastic connectors around the place though, I did end up breaking one but I did just solder it direct to the circuit board. I have programmed the vac to do a sweep of my house once a day and I gotta say it’s better than the dyson 360 in my opinion. Thanks for watching too Nick, I appreciate it 👍

    Also just remove the button for the switch to get to the contacts and see if they are dirty, you can give them a clean with some IPA if they are still dirty use a little sandpaper and gently clean them off. Make sure the Hairdryer is unplugged before doing any work on it though.

    Any reason why you changed both fuses when one was bad? What fuse did you use? Is it 184C 10A?

  • @Mickwild562
    @Mickwild5623 ай бұрын

    The reason I do both fuses at the same time is, why I’m actually there doing one, the hassle of actually getting to them in the first place it’s better to just swap them both out as a preventative measure more than anything else. None of the fuses were changed from manufacture and I’m guessing it was around 4-5 years old and don’t know the history of the hairdryer and they do get a lot of stick constantly. If the previous owner had rested the hairdryer down on the ‘hot’ end while switched on then the fuse(s) will blow, maybe one or both, either way it’s a strain on both of them. 👍

    🤣 I like that saying. The problem with the Dyson as far as I can see, is they are really really well engineered but they are very much over engineered too. The faults I see the most of over the last 12 months since I started to repair these is 1) blocked filter(s) 2) the cable failing 3) on/off switch sticking 4) Thermal fuse blowing For some reason users don't clean their filters weekly, I see some motors in really bad condition. They are a light, powerful machine BUT they ain't all that really, some design flaws. I'm new to the KZread content but I am trying to get some better equipment so my videos are a lot more clearer for everyone to watch. Thanks for your message too 👍

    I did watch his video and thought I would do a teardown and repair video on the Dyson, there isn't actually that many videos on these. I'm a subscriber to Stezstix and have been for a couple of years now along with MyMateVince too so to have something on their channel that I actually know something about I thought I would take the plunge and make a how to video. It did pain me to watch Steve struggle with it and I know he thought they were a nightmare to work on, but they are only easy If you know how to do it In the first place.
