I find it strange that the motor would be dead. Even if it got wet, it probably wouldn't have fried. Unless it was run so long that it overheated and burned out. If you have it completely apart, see what you can see of the electronics, the motor, control boards, switches, etc.
If there's any PCB's, set your sights there. A wet PCB will often not work even after completely drying, and if it isn't burnt, will need to be washed before it'll work again. That being said, I'm not at all familiar with these machines, so I can't offer any specific advice. |

With it being a brushless motor it would be controlled by a board. The board is most likely toast. Since the manufacturer is not going to be of much help to you. I'd probably just give in and buy a different model the 63 seems weaker at 170 airwatts vs the 250 on the big ball multi floor, or the strangely more powerful ball multifloor at 280 airwatts.
Since the machine isn't native to the US obtaining a new board and possibly motor could be quite....tiresome as you know, and probably quite costly. I honestly feel you're just better off buying a new machine at least then you'll have a warranty. Just my 2c |

In my experience with buying and repairing store return salvage vacuums, if the vacuum was made within 1-2 years ago you will not find spare parts for it because it's still too new.
Not sure if Dyson can help you as they are not liable for non-domestic models imported from outside the US. Not sure if a vacuum shop would be able to mend it, as "electronic vacuums" are fairly recent these days and it takes time for repair techs to learn them. Water is pretty much a death sentence for electronics, it either shorted out the battery (best case scenario) or the PCB (worst case scenario). Maybe there's a chance you could try and see if a computer repair shop could look at it and see if they could see what happened or repair it. I'm sure it's not what they are used to but it all works the same, with chips and circuitry and whatnot. |
