The problem might be in the armature not supplying enough voltage and its just grinding to a halt and just arcing, and overloading the motor windings which might explain the burning electrical smell.
My ceiling fan in the living room acts like this too, but it is 45 years old. It runs fine on all other settings, but in low speed reverse it will just barely turn and just sit there humming. The motor is getting worn out. It may have happened on your Dyson, the motor could just be burned out, but the sludgy carbon buildup makes me think water damage. Either was in a flood or someone hosed it out and put it into the vacuum wet and it trickled back into the motor. Also if it has a circuit board that controls the motor speed, maybe that is malfunctioning? |
