20 Most Recent Miele SEB 228 Powerbrush Questions & Answers

Does the motor on the Head Run but the Brush does not turn... change the Belt, the brush head is operated by a rubber belt this is so it has no direct drive so if you suck up something then you ruin a belt and not the motor. Besides you should change the belt as per MFG directions. I change ours at Least 2 times a year and if you do.. say Pull in a Rug corner and it smells like Burnt Rubber? ... you just decreased your life of the Belt.... you'd be surprised on how well a New Belt helps your Vac pick up things. Change the bag often too, do not wait till it can pickup no more. The bag is Not meant to be FULL to be changed, besides it keeps Mites in the trash where they belong and not a breading ground in your closet... If you have a bag-less clean and rinse (All Filters Every Vac has a Filter even the Bag-Less ones) and let dry after a day of vacuuming follow MFG directions, Hope this helps.

You have a blockage somewhere. The most likely place is in the brush head behind the brush or at the first joint to the metal tube.

I'm assuming you have a canister with an seb236/34 power nozzle. The handle release pedals break all the time and would need to be replaced to fix your problem.

Possible electrical short in the reset switch.

I have a Miele with a failed motor and it sounds if you have as well. The is nothing shown as a common, or known fault. Take it to your local Miele Service Centre for diagnosis and repair. https://www.google.com/search?q=Miele+s7210+light+comes+on%2Cbut+doesn%27t+run ..

If the roller brush of your Miele vacuum SEB 234/236 only spins when you manually hold down the switch, it indicates that there is a problem with the electronic circuit or mechanical parts responsible for engaging the brush. This could be caused by a faulty connection, a broken wire, or a malfunctioning switch. It's recommended to have the vacuum serviced by a professional to diagnose and fix the issue.

It may be worn carbon brushes in the beater head and yes it can be fixed. You can try giving the head a thump on the side to help seat the motor brushes.

It sounds like there may be an issue with the power control system on your Miele C3 cat/dog vacuum. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check the power control switch: Make sure that the power control switch is functioning properly and that it is able to move freely through all of the power settings. If the switch is stuck or damaged, it may be causing the vacuum to remain on the minimum power setting.
2. Check for debris in the power control system: Debris can sometimes accumulate in the power control system and cause it to malfunction. To check for debris, turn off the vacuum and unplug it from the electrical outlet. Locate the power control system and use a small brush or compressed air to carefully clean it.
3. Check for a clog in the hose or suction path: A clog in the hose or suction path can cause the vacuum to lose suction and remain on the minimum power setting. To check for a clog, remove the hose and use a flashlight to look for any blockages. If you find a clog, use a broom handle or similar object to carefully remove it.

If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, it is possible that there is a problem with the power control system or another internal component of the vacuum. In this case, it may be necessary to have the vacuum repaired or serviced by a professional.

Hi, to find that repair manual that you've requested and fix your vacuum so it can move into upright position, you can ask Miele to email you the manual by calling them at 888-996-4353 Thank you.

clogged--belt slipping--motor failing

It loses power? Do you mean the brush roller does not spin or do you mean there is a loss of suction? Or does the vacuum shut off? I interpret this to mean no suction. That implies no air flow. https://bestsearchadvisor.com/miele-vacuum-troubleshooting-problems/ Lack of suction suggests either a blockage OR an air leak. If a canister is not properly seated, a gap offers air leakage. If there is a leak in the hose, again, there is a loss of suction. A hole in the hose requires hose replacement. If this problem is not one of loss of suction but rather loss of power in the brushes, there are other considerations, such as a build up of long fibers in the roller. https://howtofixit.net/miele-vacuum-troubleshooting-guide/ Alternatively, if the brush is failing to spin, the motor for it may have failed even though the suction continues to work. If there is a loss of all power when you push it forward, perhaps there is a problem with the cord, a breakage where movement breaks the power going to the vacuum. Here is a link to Miele's own troubleshooting page: https://www.mieleusa.com/c/troubleshooting-159.htm

I see this all the time. The red or blue bag holder has either started to bow or it's legs aren't seated on the top of the little depressions. Check that and when you fit new bag remove the hose and check the little door on the bag is open and not closed if it's closed all the rubbish will fill the bag container rather than the bag. If this if the case buy new bag holder common problem.

Air way probably needs cleaning and it is not producing a vacuum.

Slide the lever on top of the dirt to the side, lift the cup up slightly, and pull it straight out of the vacuum. On most models, the lever will slide to the left. Disassemble the dirt cup by popping the plastic top off the cup.
