Absolutely brilliant detailed, step by step video packed with experience tips. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. Enabled me to replace an arcing and worn out motor/fan on my 13yr old Meile 5281 HEPA vacuum cleaner with a new Meile unit and give it a new lease of life. Works as good as new again now. Such a waste to chuck away perfectly good, serviceable kit that can be repaired with a bit of patience. I definitely would’ve busted a tab or two valiantly trying to get it apart in the wrong sequence without your excellent video guidance and commentary! Very much appreciated mate. New motor/fan unit not the cheapest part direct from Meile at £148.28 incl VAT and free delivery but at least it’s robust, well engineered original manufacturer’s kit that should last well. Cheaper than buying a new vacuum cleaner and lazily contributing to the WEEE skip at the local tip. Thanks very much again. Top marks to you and keep up the great work! 👍🏻🍻🇦🇺
Thank you so much for your vacuum cleaner repair videos. We were about to replace our Miele (slightly different model) because the motor was overheating and making an awful high-pitched noise. With nothing to lose, I decided to disassemble it following this video and see if I could spot the problem. It turns out that there was fluff and hair clogging the motor's intake and once I cleared that, it works properly again. So thank you.
fwiw, 2 points: 1st: the motor can easily be disassembled, there is a good chance it can be repaired. 2nd: the left and right levers (for power and cord) do not need to be removed when the device is opened. You only risk to break the plastic noses on the levers (happened to me twice).
Great video from downunder. Much more confident now to strip down our S6 model vacuum and investigate why it was cutting out on overheat, and now wont run. We are in lockdown here in the UK so nice little weekend job to add onto the list 😃👌
Hello from France, Thanks for the tuto. :) I was wondering how to disassemble the button on/off. I typed "how to assemble a vacuum cleaner" in the French language... and I came across your tuto!! ---------------------------------------- Bonjour depuis la France, Merci pour le tuto. :) Je me demandais comment démonter le bouton marche/arrêt. J'ai tapé "comment demonter un aspirateur miele" en langue Française... et je suis tombé sur votre tuto !!
Don't blame the person! The dirt can happen really quickly. My machine is well looked after, but today I discovered the miele brand bag bag had fallen off the inlet and my machine looks as dirty as this one. And the noise ramped up . which is why I opened it up and found the bag off. Thanks for your great video. I will attempt to clean it. Although I have nothing to vacuum it out with !
I fixed my miele with a similar issue by just cleaning the motor really well and replacing the bearings. Dealing with the motor disassembly/reassembly wasn't any harder than than the vacuum shell.
Awesome video. Thank you! Was considering purchasing a new Miele but might get a second hand one after watching this. Before I do, what high quality vacuum would you recommend for a small home with wool loop floors?
Very well explained! Even I got it disassembled. Now that I have the motor in hand, I wonder wether it has a problem or is it something else (I found the machine on the street so I don´t know what the problem is. Conncted to power, the green lights work but no motor function). Do you have an idea which 2 of the 4 metal contacts on the motor plug are the right ones to connect? I don´t want to create short circuit and leave everyone in the house in the dark. Thx
Hi! My Miele viento 300 was working great, than kept shutting off on the thick carpet. Now it has no suction from the bottom (main part) of the vacuum, but fine suction from the nozzle. I've taken off the nozzle, and opened the trap in the back and checked the bottom and the brush and can't find anything. Any thoughts?
I got a used Miele S2181 recently. It does not have the dust bag holder. I ordered this bracket but it did not come with a spring. I read that some do need a torsion spring. Does my model S2181 need this spring for the dust bag holder?
I changed my belt and fixed the smell, i started vaccuming then after a few it started making this loud growling noise? Is thus from the belt or spinny thing? Cause maybe i did something wrong. Or is it just because the belt is brand new?
obviously the nail things ripped the bag and probally even got trough the filter mat. the motor doesnt sound broken, most likely just something stuck inside. also the dirty filter mat doesnt help. the metal cap of the motor can be easely removed for checking and cleaning.
Thank you so much, could you please help me for Miele complete C3 silence Ecoline Same problem ! My children forgot to put a bag after a party !!!!!😂😮😅😢
Thank you, this helped me a lot! With my S 5000, but it was all the same. But I don't understand what is the white tape or something(?) you put on top of the lamps at 8:29 min? Did not see you took that off, and there wasn't something like that on mine. anyway, the lamps flash grreen same as before. Just a little curious
Alec, just wondering, can you tell whether Miele is using a Domel motor here?? There has been speculation recently that this is the case, & noticed it is VERY similar to a Domel motor used in a Beam Alliance central vacuum here in Canada.
See thats what happens when you make a very bad use of your device.. Not even using the right bags or replacing the filters or checking the bag. Or controlling your vacuums. I'm having my Miele s512i. Already for 18 years and its still clean from inside he is still working amazing. Only the appearance is bad not that bad only it looks old but still he works fantastisc and amazing. Thats all. Electronics devices are so expensive so dont ever use them like this vacuum there.
most probably bag did not burst, but people are tired buying 20 quids bags and they start buying less fiting ones. here the result. don't buy the machine.

Thanks a lot! Your video gave me the courage to take my Miele apart and clean/airblow all parts. Works like a charm now.
I fixed my miele with a similar issue by just cleaning the motor really well and replacing the bearings. Dealing with the motor disassembly/reassembly wasn't any harder than than the vacuum shell.
Great video. Nicely videoed and you explained the process thoroughly and competently. Thank you. I will get right to work on my Miele!

Miele canister vacs are always clogged at the motor filter like that. People fail to fully install the bags.

Where can I purchase parts? I need an on/off switch.
Hi do you have a video how to repair the high tone from a leak/break the hose connector?
obviously the nail things ripped the bag and probally even got trough the filter mat. the motor doesnt sound broken, most likely just something stuck inside. also the dirty filter mat doesnt help. the metal cap of the motor can be easely removed for checking and cleaning.
Great demonstration. But what is the point when your new motor is $300 and Godfrey's has a new Miele C1 for $199.
I would of got a new one my Meile wasv550 would have rather have got a replacement for the extra 250
Hi I have a Miele HS15 hover,it's not 4 yr old and the mother has gon is it worth replacing the mother,tanks

Just wanted to say thanks, this helped me fixed mine and saved me a bundle!
Merci beaucoup pour votre aide
C est très bien filmé on peut progresser rapidement
Where can I buy the replacement motor?
Great help, I hate it to throw things away!
Mate, thanks so much for the breakdown instructions. Very grateful. Any idea on the cost of a replacement motor? Ta'.
Thank you so much, could you please help me for Miele complete C3 silence Ecoline

Which company makes a better motor, Sebo or Miele? Does it even matter? They both might be comparable. Thank you.
Excellent demonstration and explanation-thank you.
same on my electrolux mondo z1172. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO ?????
Where did you get this motor?
How much is the motor?
I have to ask. Which model of the miele canister vacuums is your favorite? Miele is such good quality!
Well done Alic
Maybe this vacuum was having a generic bag, so it caused this or use it with no bag.
Yes I do agree, a lot of machines really aren't cared for that well.
Great job. Very straight forward indeed.

Thanks bud, made it nice and easy for me 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much. The video helped with the fix. Thanks
Help! anyone out there, How do you take apart a Miele SBANO Vacuum
Great explanations and demo, thanks.
Great video now days people like myself are buying bagged vacuum cleaners offline now days everything proven there not hard finding online now days
very good. thank you very much. really useful.
спасибо огромное.очень помог.удачи тебе во всём
That vacuum you used to vacuum the vacuum sound like a Numatic Henry from the UK
The hoover's fan motor seemed ok, it just looked like the filters were clogged.
Motor is so messy, I guess that the owner tested it like crap, so the motor dies. Thes machines do last over 10 years during good maintainence.
No it's not mine it has come in for repair
Real helpful. Cheers!

Спасибо дружище! Привет из России!😉
broken fanblade sound ? gebroken ventilator wiek
They were using it without a Bag to clean up sawdust, dust nails etc on a workshop foor I guess.
ugh, you don't even wash or wipe off the dirty housing? You naughty boy!
lol...I was thinking that, too...but then realized that based on the condition it was in, the owners wouldn't notice or care, anyway ;-)
He does, just off camera. He has mentioned this I’m sure
Rusty Andres 😂 I was thinking the same thing- this is a great helpful step by step video though
most probably bag did not burst, but people are tired buying 20 quids bags and they start buying less fiting ones. here the result. don't buy the machine.
I absolutely hate my miele. Expensive and soo many issues in the few years we have had it.
You just saved me $149.00
HE'S Making An Awful Sound just taking it apart.
