Hi all, I have always wanted a Dyson Contrarotater, just because they're unusual and they're Dyson!

I managed to find one locally, a CR02 Flowcheck, the white one. It is in relatively good shape, needs a clean. The outer door was off, so I reattached it, and it didn't seem to want to lock. A spray of WD40 in the latch worked a treat. The machine runs as smooth as a nut, even rather quiet. However it does make rather a racket when doing its party piece. It's almost like a grating sound, but it doesn't appear to be struggling.

I have found a local engineer on eBay who sells and repairs. I daren't take this apart. Could it be the gearbox that's gone?

I paid £60 for it, so not sure if it's a bargain yet

I'm amazed you managed to find one that still has the contrarotator (did i spell that correctly?) still working!They always were noisy when in this mode.

There's a whole group of over 300 ex engineers and Dyson owners on Facebook, look under 'Dyson CR01 repairs' they'll tell you everything you need to know.

Thanks all, I found a seller on eBay who repairs and restores them, so I'll do that. I don't want to pull it apart.

I know it makes a whining noise, but the noise is loud, like a scraping sound. Only when it's on contrarotator, it's as sweet as a nut otherwise. The spin is relatively quiet and stable, like our Miele

Why did Dyson get out of the washer business?  Was it the complexity of the design that did it in?  They were really cool looking machines.
