dyson 03 and 01. both stop running after about 5 minutes use ?

Both these dysons have same fault, they stop running after about five minutes use, leave them for about 30 minutes and they start running again, is this a common fault. Thanks.

Check for cloggs and clean or replace filters..should have bought a Sebo

Hi Ian

Your machine is definately blocked the 1st thing i would do is change the filters the motor has a thermol cut-out which activates when the motor gets too hot i would also check for blockages in the hose at the back and the wand.

for the best prices on the filters go to www.sparesaver.com

change the filter pads as yours are blocked,this is causing the motor to HEAT up, this then causes the THERMAL OVERLOAD on the motor to kick in, hence motor STOPS until it has COOLED down .
