Question about Kenmore 31913 Progressive Direct Drive Bagged Upright Vacuum
The vacccuum is working fine until I put the Hepa filter into the spot in the vaccuum. When I do it emmitts a loud sound like something is constricting tubes. All tubes are clear. I have taken the cover off and everything looks fine, I sumize that the problem is with the plastic cannister when i put it into the vaccuum.. I have cleaned the entire unit.
Did you replace the hepa filter with a new one? Those filters may not look bad, but after a period of time and use, air is restricted thru them. They should be changed at least once per year.

Hi If the power head isn't working it may be clogged. Try taking it apart to see if threads and general dirt has got in at the sides. Also without the power head if the Miele still isn't working then its a possibility that the on switch wiring is either loose or check the plug at the end of the power cord.

I have the same issue. There is not enouph suction and it makes the noise described above. I took everything apart and can find no blockage. I read another comment that referenced reversing the air flow, because this seems to be the issue, but I cannot locate my manual and cannot find any kind of switch to change the air flow. I turned the hepa filter both ways and this did nothing. The noise decreases and stops when I turn the suction down (there is high, medium and low options.
