Introduction

This guide will show you how to replace the motor in your Dyson Supersonic HD01. The motor on your hairdryer may need to be replaced if it has taken damage, and other options to fix your hairdryer have not proven successful.

  • Caution: when working with switches and other fragile components, make sure to be gentle and not forceful in removing and inserting parts and electronics.
  • Reminder: Upon reassembling, a new adhesive will have to be reapplied for the buttons to be replaced onto the dryer.

Maybe you can help fix the problem? My Dyson Supersonic won't heat up, the company says replace it with 20% discount. But it is only a 3 year old with guarantee expired by 3 months. Is there a chance to fix expensive item? Thanks.

I had a similar experience with a Karcher hand held floor washer. They said: send the silver label via mail and will replace it, but don't send item toss it. This is outrageous that these machines go in the landfill without foreign companies taking charge and try and fix them first. Happened twice, actually. Now Dyson?
