Hello everyone, I have a dyson dc14 that when you turn it on everything seems to work right except the brush roll is spinning backwards throwing the dirt away from the suction intake. I took the machine down to the belt assembly and everything looks right but that being said I have no clue what's wrong. Please help
Thanks Mark | ||

Only thing I can think of is the brush roll motor, or the suction motor has been wired up wrong. I am no electrician but there should be two wires connecting to two terminals on the motor. If it is spinning backward, they are the wrong way round.
Someone can probably better explain it than me. Has it been stripped down to the motor and had any work done to it ? Only I did this when I cleaned my Morphy Richard navigator lift-away with the brush motor. | ||

Sounds like the polarity has been reversed on the motor. Switching the wires around should do the trick. | ||

I can't think of any other reason the brushroll would spin backwards. Maybe someone else will throw some more light on this. | ||

The belt rests on the shaft of the motor so what else could cause the brushroll to spin backwards.Are you positive it's spinning backwards? | ||

Has the vacuum had any switch or cable repair? That should be the problem | ||

Can't see how the switch would cause the brushroll to run backwards it just breaks the circuit. It has to be the motor | ||

Those brushes on the dc07 and 14 always had that backwards look but they did not spin backwards | ||

Some AC motors can be reversed :-) | ||
