Broken screen My wife hit the screen with the vacuum cleaner...took a chunk out of the screen about a dime's size, with a long linear break. Can the screen be fixed, replaced, or is this a service visit? Ballpark estimate - How much is the repair? Thanks,

As with all vacuum cleaners, the unit can get dirty inside. There is a sensor under the brush unit that hears dirt hit it and triggers the circular cleaning action. This sensor looks like a dime sized hole with a bronze piece inside. Also the unit can be disassembled by removing 4 screws on the bottom and removing the top.

Sounds like you might be hitting the reverse button some vacuums have. Otherwise there's stuff getting trapped in the space above the beater bars and when you lift the vacuum while it's running, this trapped trash has an opportunity to get out now that there's no pressure from the floor. You might want to check and make sure there's nothing stuck in your tubing that's preventing things from going into the bag. My wife use to suck up gum wrappers and half sheets of paper and it would clog up the hose. I'd have to use a broom stick of wire coat hanger to unplug this.

If you have stored your cleaner with cleaning solutions in it you have a broken impeller in your water pump. The cleaning solutions separate while in storage and build up in your pump. Once you start the cleaner is breaks the plastic impeller. Its an in-expensive part but, a real pain to change.

Your vacuum should still be under warranty. If they dealer does not fix it for free call Miele directly.

This is a farily common repair on this model. What ends up happening is that when someone picks up the vacuum cleaner by the handle of the machine, which on this model also is the controller for the self-propelled transmission, it places too much strain on the actuator arm of the vacuum cleaner.

You can do the best to try and not pick up the machine by the handle, but instead using the carrying handle on the back of the vacuum cleaner, this is distribute the weight much better, and even make the machine seem less heavy, and this will also prevent the actuator arm from breaking again in the future.

Design flaw. You have to clean that out regularly :)

These can usually be purchased thru a hoover dealer and are not expensive.
