Kenley YDK Motor for Dyson DC05/ DC08/ DC11/ DC19/ DC20/ DC21/ DC29 Vacuum Cleaner Series, 240 V

No issues wires the right length fitted and working in no time at all - recommend without reservation one for one swap, noise about the same no vibration. Good value.

Our Dyson DC08 Allergy vacuum packed up with a burning smell a few weeks ago - A new one would cost over £200, so I decided to investigate how easy a self-repair would be. A couple of youtube videos indicate that it is pretty simple - no soldering required, you just need a torx (star head) screwdriver to remove the six screws securing the motor compartment (or a long hex key/ allen key will do as well). I was going to order a genuine dyson motor at ~£45, but I figured a YDK motor is a YDK motor whether supplied by Dyson or not and took a chance with this great value one (free postage too) - it looks almost identical to the one I removed (one minor difference is the original one has green plastic fuse casing rather than the yellow one here), and it performs just great (especially after cleaning the dyson and replacing the two filters (~£7 Qualtex brand, again, not original Dyson) - no difference in noise level (still just as noisy as the original!).So a pretty much new DC08 for ~£25, you'd be mad to pay for a whole new vacuum. Have to say though, that having taken it apart I'm not convinced there's £200 worth of product here - Dyson must make a big profit on these machines. They do perform well, but £100 would be a more reasonable price methinks.

Fitted perfectly and easily to my DC21. Now the beast is alive. Good quality motor, has been running for a couple of hours and so far no smoke has come out, which is a good sign. This is a fairly simple swap over, and can take less than 30mins. Google for some youtube videos, there is one for a DC08 which is the same as other models. I would also recommend cleaning or replacing filters at the same time and if you are really into it take the canister apart completely and give it a wash. It makes it run like new. You'll be surprised at how much dirt is clogged in there contrary to what Dyson says that it doesn't clog. It is only true if you follow Dyson's instructions to clean filters regularly and do not fill above the max mark. Plaster/Drywall dust is a Dyson killer, so if you have used it for vacuuming up your renovation remains then make sure you clean the filters each time. But if you are a man and have ignored all the instructions this is what you will need! Cheers.

Direct replacement motor in a Dyson dc05. Straightforward to fit and works well, giving a new lease of life to the DC 05.

Brilliant product easy to fit

So the Dyson died in a midst of sparks and bangs. We were going to get the Dyson repair service (~£80 someone comes and replaces the broken bits) but though I'd have a look first. Plenty of YouTube videos on how to open up the Dyson, and once inside it is all very modular. There isn't a lot to go wrong except the motor and it is very easy for someone with a bit of knowledge to replace it. When changing it is definitely worthwhile changing the two filters as well. Dyson branded motors and filters were as expensive as getting the repair done. I did some online searching and managed to get motor and filters from Small Parts. They came before the due date, well packaged, and worked perfectly. We now have in effect a brand new Dyson for £25!Lavolta® 240V YDK Motor for Dyson DC05 DC08 DC11 DC19 DC20 DC21 DC29 Vacuum Cleaner Series fits 911933-01 900228-01 907671-01 905401-01 902768-01 - Thermal Overload Cut-Out fitted

Was very sceptic about motors but thought I would try this as my dc 08 is old but faithful and the motor burn out but got this from amazon fantastic 10 mins to put in watching a you tube and its perfect it's like it's a new hover again thankyou would recommend to anyone ***** value for money

My Dyson DC05 stopped and refused to work again, I did not want to just go buy a new vacuum cleaner as I really like this particular model so I looked into it and I discovered that the motor had burnt out, I found this quality replacement on Amazon and at a good price, I ordered it and it arrived within a few days. After some youtube viewing it was fitted in minutes and after a complete wash and clean of entire vacuum cleaner it is like new again, it is slightly noisier than original motor but worth buying to keep this machine running. All in all a very good product and much cheaper than a new Dyson.
