What the full purple one? I'd quite like the silver one But this was a bargain. This one is a standard CR01, but I found a Memory key panel on ebay and fitted that. The switches that are on the memory are on the standard console board, just hidden. =) | ||

Keymatic
Hi Andy , yes the Keymatic pulsator turned the opposite way to the drum, quite a drama splash action when both get going , hence only a 4 minute wash from correct temperature when on cottons, ie pulsator & drum both turning!!!

The yellow thingy these are to do with the OOB detection, they are piezo accelerometers, and are used at the 800 and 1100 rpm part of the spin phase. | ||

the planet hub this is sprung, a motorised ramp pushes against the spokes to initiate contrarotation. The hub is opened for the gears to engage.

The ramp ring has two halves, the black ring is the operating ring for opening the planet hub, it locates with the slots in the outer drum.

Which is finally connected to the main drive pulley, this sits on the inner drum shaft. It has a geared hub with it's own set of bearings in the hub also.

Well done! I was amazed everytime the dyson engineer came to fix the washing machine, the machine surely was something different!
Did you know by pressing the soil type button in the mode you had it in it will go to the next step in the program sequence. 24 stands for final spin, 25 for slowing down, 26 for anti crease tumble etc. We do miss the dyson for one reason, we can't wash our king size duvets at home anymore as the LG only has a 69litre drum so we have to go to the launderette and the machines aren't very good (Ipso with the clock dial). It was a good machine, excellent washing and very fast too. I want to ask what does Hz stand for on the display in diagnostic mode? When it was spinning it would hit 1750Hz, 64Hz (ish) on normal tumbling and 400Hz on contraroration. Happy washing :) | ||

Hello Andy you must be pleased as punch to have won over one these possible nightmare machines, I am pleased for you and the machine.
You will be one of the few people in England i would think with a fully working one, whenever they came into work it was always the gear box that had gone for the umpteenth time. I used to be tempted at times to take one home and have a fiddle, but i backed out Well Done Gary | ||

I always thought it'd be the speed the machine is running at, if that is the case then the final spin is shown as 1750Hz!
The only way I could get all that to display during the wash was to put it into diagnostic mode by pressing soil type and temperature button simultaneously upon pressing the on/off button and then starting a wash without switching it off. It displayed the temperature in degrees, Hz(most likely the rpm) and water level with (mm) as some sort of measurement from what I remember. The link below shows what is displayed on the display, I took this video over 4 years ago. CLICK HERE TO GO TO dyson2drums's LINK | ||

It definitely was a really good daily driver. It did a lot of washing and was easy to use and the quick washing times were a bonus. However it had a few problems.
We had it repaired out of warranty when the motors, interlock, planet carrier assembly were replaced and the drums were locked. After that 1 years cover expired from the repair it was causing problems by getting stuck on programs, it was very loud on spins so we decided to opt for a new washing machine. We needed something big and preferably graphite or silver so got the LG F1479FDS5 which we're very happy with :) | ||

Well lets just say the start up tune and end tune plus the lights always intrigue visitors or family especially kids as they can't keep their hands off.
We've had the machine switched off half way into a wash by a child as the power button isn't included in the child lock which i'd say is a design fault as it is the case with the LG at grans. | ||

Great pics there Andy, such a complicated machine, similar to the Hoover keymatic using the hollow shaft to in the Hoover case driving the pulsator in Dysons case driving the contrarotator!!
I often wondered if they had also offered a "Stripped back" version sleek & sophisticated with subtle colour, would they have sold more!! Most kitchen I`ve seen them in look like they are sat in the middle of the room given how much they stuck out from under worktops in small kitchens etc!! | ||

Hi Andy, if a customer asked you to do bearings on a Dyson: a) would you do it? b) how many hours would you charge? | ||

Blimey Andy. Thats one unusual and rather complicated looking machne Dyson designed! Really good to be able to see photos of the internal components of these unique machines. Thanks for updating us all along the way. Paul p.s the machine looks in superb condition. | ||

Hey glenfieldmathk1
I have tried putting the king size duvet into the washing machine but it just won't fit, a third or quarter of the duvet will stick out which means I can't even shut the door. I don't know what tog it is but its a thick duvet. I've fitted double duvets and they were washed very well with steam wash being selected. As far as i'm aware my old dyson had a 78l drum which is what it says on the poster I have which is the actual size of the machine. Maybe if it was a thinner (lower tog) duvet it would've fitted. | ||

oh right, I am just thinking maybe LG is not true to size. I am sure I read on there website the LG can handle Kingsize duvets of up to 11.5 tog. Maybe thats the 11Kg Model though!! Yes, sorry meant 78l. | ||

I used to wash all the duvets in the house when we had the dyson, they always went through a max spin cycle once the cycle had ended for quicker drying.
Even in the LG, the duvets were put through a seperate spin at 1400 once the standard 1000rpm on the duvet cycle is done. Only the dyson CR02 allergy (silver model) had a 60 degrees duvet wash. | ||

You could try to get the old ones out, go to any kind of hardware store that sells bearings like these and get some with the same size. So you could "Upgrade" you washer with more resistant bearings. But as Dyson stopped serviceing them you don't have any other chance, I guess. | ||
