dyson cro1?

i have a fault 11
annabel, November 2008
yes this is a very common fault cro1 is a fault to do with water not entering the machine, take the lid off, you will then see two thin black hoses. pull them off, thats right just pull them off, this will release the back pressure resetting the valve allowing the cro1 to disapear.
put the hoses back on and your away.

F11 - no motor action.
Check out the carbon brushes in the motor. Theyre graphite blocks which transfer mains power to the copper segments of the motor -Theyre probably worn down. They're quite cheap parts and easy to replace. Power off, remove the back cover and locate the motor. May help if the machine is tilted at an angle or laid on its side. The brushes are at the other end of the motor from the drive pulley. The holders are plastic or bakelite and are generally held in with screws or plastic clips. Also, look at the copper segments they run on to check for burning or pitting. If the segments are burnt or damaged you need a replacement motor or a replacement armature (motor part) if you can source one. Occasionally may be a fault in the motor drive circuit board - in which case replacement of board only real option.
