How to Identify and Fix Common Vacuum Problems ?
Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced Vacuum Technicians :
That is a common question we get all the time. Before we go any further, let`s remember that all Miele Vacuum Cleaners share some basic features: All Miele Vacuums come with a Quiet 1200 W motor. That means They all have the same suction power.
Should you ever need have your Miele vacuum cleaner repaired, simply stop by a Miele Vacuum Repair Centre. Regardless of whether your vacuum cleaner is still covered by Miele warranty or not, you can expect outstanding service at one of our conveniently located Vacuum Repair Centres.
There are three main causes for your Miele to not power on: The power switch has failed. The cord reel is damaged. Your motor has gone bad.
Miele Classic C1, Miele Compact C2 and Miele Complete C3. All these models are equipped with the same motor, meaning they have the same suction power.
As for the commercial sector, almost every central vacuum operate with two motors.
Miele Washing Machines are vigorously tested to last the equivalent of 20 years use. Miele Washing Machines are ecological and consume only the amount of water and electricity needed for excellent cleaning and rinsing results.
Durability & Warranty – If you`re looking for a vacuum cleaner with durability and longevity, look no further than Miele. Miele vacuum cleaners are designed and tested to last for 20 years. Miele vacuum cleaners come with a 7-year warranty on the motor and a 1-year warranty on parts and labor.
The most common reason for vacuum motors failing is overheating. Most `dry` vacuums have a flow-though motor. These motors use the air they have sucked up the dust with, to cool themselves. When there is a blockage, flow-though motors are unable to cool themselves due to the lack of airflow.
Check that the vacuum cleaner is plugged into a working power outlet and that fuses and breakers don`t need resetting. An activated thermal cut-out due to a blockage is the next most likely cause of the problem. Check for blockages in the hose and filters, and remove any obstructions that you find.
Miele (/ˈmiːlə/ MEE-EH-lə; German: [ˈmiːlə]) is a German manufacturer of high-end domestic appliances and commercial equipment, headquartered in Gütersloh, Ostwestfalen-Lippe. The company was founded in 1899 by Carl Miele and Reinhard Zinkann, and has always been a family-owned and family-run company.
If all you hear from the vacuum unit is a click at the when you try to start the vacuum motor from inside the house, then the motor in the unit is dead and has to be replaced. A strong odor from the shellac, which coats the copper coil windings, is an indicator that the motor is about to or has burnt out.
UNITS THAT EMPTY FROM THE TOP: The motors are on the bottom of the vacuum unit. Remove the unit from the wall, turn it upside down, and open the bottom or bottom section to reveal the motor. Each motor has two or three wires that may run to other wires, relay, or mini-breaker.
A vacuum cleaner`s brush roller also called the beater bar assists in cleaning your carpets and depending on your vacuum model, a variety of floors. The brush roller is usually located under the vacuum cleaner and some in the attachment tool.
The vacuum pump has a compression chamber, which has low pressure compared to the high pressure inside the system. This will cause the air and other gases inside the system to rush into the compression chamber through the inlet. The compression chamber is basically split into two low-pressure areas that rotate.

When compared with Miele C1 series vacuums, C2 series are slightly smaller and easier to store and transport across multi-level homes. They also offer operate at a slightly lower volume, with an average noise output of 55 to 67 decibels.
All suction motors, except for the very small battery operated motors, are universal type motors since they can operate with either AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current) power sources. Typically they are designed for best performance with AC at the normal household voltage.

Motor problem I just picked up a screw. It appears to be stuck in motor. The sound of the motor changed to a whirring noise and it started to smoke. How can i access the motor?
ANSWER : First six pictures HERE will let you know how to remove shell to see the motor. I would not recommend starting it before you get the screw out (you will need to remove 5 more screws from the front f the unit to get the fan case off). The fan case is glued so you may need to use screw driver and pray the fan case of the unit. If fan is damaged – remove it from Kirby as damaged fan is out of balance and Kirby will vibrate like crazy. Shaft has opposite thread so you have to turn it CLOCKWISE.
If the fan does not come off easily you may have to remove this part and access the rear of the motor where you can use a wrench to hold the armature (you will see where you can hold it right behind the commutator. Removing slide bracket assembly memorize where the wires are plugged in and how it is engaged with the transmission.

Bad Motor I have purchased two of the Kenmore direct drive beltless systems with Progressive systems. The first died after a year, the vacuum motor start making a grinding noies. I pulled the side HEPA filter and could see a fine coating of graphite like dust. Took it to a vacuum repair shop. They said the brushes were going and thus the motor was shot. I liked the vacuum and bought a second, 1 year later the motor is making a slight noise that and removing the HEPA filter I find a slight metall
ANSWER : That dust is from the carbon brushes on the motor. You may need to check them, and also clean out the motor compartment. A slight noise could be a motor bearing starting to go. Does the smell like rubber or electrical. If rubber, then the belt has stretched and needs to replaced. If electrical, then something is causing the motor to run hot, like a clogged filter, or it could be a motor going bad.

I have a Hoover, Steam spin scrub, Model F5897-900.
Only used it a couple times and the motor gave out.
First started being noisy then a bad smell. It did seem
noisier that what I would expect from the start but I
didn’t realize it was a problem with the shaft of the motor.
I took it apart and found the motor shaft wasn’t
true and causing sparks. The motor looks like it can
not be taken apart and repaired. This seems like a default from the beginning but it is past warranty. Also noti

How do I gain access to the motor of an Electrolux 2000 canister vacuum. The air intake on the motor must be partially blocked as there is a loss of suction and the motor makes that high pitched whine like it does when you cover the hose with your hand
ANSWER : Dismantling the vacuum probably won’t help much, and reassembling can be a bear.
.To check the intake, remove bag and look into bottom of bag well. It there’s a filter there, remove it and check intake at bottom of bag well. Clear if there is.
.The afterfilter on a canister is located beneath the air diffuser grid on the top of the machine where the tools can be attached. Remove this cover and there should be a white filter. Yours is probably black, or at least real dirty, if it’s never been changed. This also blocks the airflow, reducing suction, and potentially damaging the motor. Extremely dirty filters are an indicator of how much dust is getting into and through the motor. This is usually caused by using generic bags rather than the genuine Electrolux, now Aerus, bags.
.It is also an indicator of another internal problem on some other Aerus and pre-Aerus Electrolux vacuums.

I have a Eureka Boss Model 411… I need to know where the reset button is for the suction motor. The canister was clogged on the backside, I didn’t see it and the suction motor shut off. I have cleared the obstruction, but don’t know where the reset is for that motor. I know how to reset the brush head motor.
ANSWER : If your vacuum motor overheats, it will stop working. it will start working again once it cools.

The motor in my Powermate (Kenmore Canister 116.27614700) is whining, high pitched, but still works. A local shop told me the motor is dying (the one in the Powermate that drives the beater bar) and would cost $150 for them to repair. The machine is only 1.5 years old and I paid $300…yikes.
I think I can fix it but don’t understand why the foam gasket that apparently wraps around the motor costs as much as the motor. This is assuming that part 32 (ks747156) is the foam I see glued to my cur
ANSWER : I think you are right! Buy the motor…..use the gasket from the old motor if you can cut it off clean and just glue it on the new one.
.
.The connectors are just brass blade connectors which you should be able to get at a Home Depot or Lowes in the electrical section. Or…just cut off the old connector AND use wire nuts to connect them to the new motor *(which assume comes without any kind of connector right?).
.
.That should do the job for the cost of a motor…a little glue and two wire nuts. Good call!
.
.Good luck and be careful!
