Dyson Big Ball Animal 2 Main Head Brush Bar Motor - 96864202

This specific motor, part number 968642-02, is designed exclusively for the Dyson Big Ball Animal 2 vacuum cleaner. Please check your vacuum's manual or Dyson's official website for compatibility with other models.

Signs include the brush bar not spinning, spinning slowly, or making grinding noises. Reduced cleaning performance, especially on carpets, can also indicate a motor issue.

Typically, basic household tools like a screwdriver (often Phillips head) are sufficient. Consult your Dyson Big Ball Animal 2 manual for specific tool requirements.

For most users with basic mechanical aptitude, the replacement process can take between 15 to 30 minutes.

Warranty information for replacement parts can vary. Please refer to the terms provided by the retailer or Dyson at the time of purchase.

The motor is an electrical component and should not be cleaned directly. You should clean the brush bar it drives by removing hair and debris. If the motor fails, it needs replacement.

Double-check that the new motor is correctly seated and all connections are secure. Ensure no debris is obstructing the brush bar's rotation. Verify that the correct part number (968642-02) was installed for the Big Ball Animal 2 model.

Ensure the cleaner head is properly reassembled and all seals are intact. Check for any blockages in the wand, hose, or bin. The motor itself does not directly impact suction, but improper reassembly could affect airflow.

Confirm that the brush bar is free from any obstructions. If the noise persists, the motor may be faulty or improperly installed. Contact Dyson support or the retailer if the part appears defective.
