I purchased a lot of 3 attachments off of eBay for my Dyson DC17 Animal: the mini turbine head, low reach floor tool and Zorb groomer. They arrived yesterday, having been very well packed in a shoe box via UPS.
All of these attachments are in great shape. However, the mini turbine head doesn't work properly; it spins a lot slower than it should, likely because of the previous owner having a dog. The brush slows down significantly when pressed onto a surface. I removed the soleplate, and found some dog hair stuck in the rubber piece near the intake. I even dismantled the tool to try and see what's wrong with it, but couldn't figure anything out. So my question is, how do I make this turbine head spin freely again? I had the exact same one, but in purple, with my old Dyson DC07. I contacted the seller about this issue, but they haven't responded yet. I wonder if I have to lubricate any bearings on the tool? | ||

Yes, the grille on the "on/off" plunger is free of fluff. I even vacuumed it off using my Hoover stick vac, and no fluff came out.
Yes, this nozzle is made for the DC17, which is what the eBay listing said. I had a DC07 with that same nozzle, but in purple, and it spun very fast when used with that machine. I couldn't get it to slow down when touched to any surface. I am attaching some more pics, including ones of the tool disassembled. | ||
