My dyson DC04 is getting hot?

I'm on here for exactly the same problem, I have checked the filters and washed them.
I even removed the bottom lifetime filter, that wasnt very dirty either.
So I am assuming its now down to the bushes on their way out.
I am just about to look for the correct way to strip and replace the motor brushes, thats assuming you can obtain them?

There's not much in a vacuum cleaner that can get hot apart from the motor - so the heat is more than probably coming from the motor and it may be the motor brushes begining to fail - I assume DC04 motors have brushes.

Dysonmedic.com is an excellent site that shows how to strip and reassemble these machines.

Good luck...
