Most likely the speed control board has failed. The solution for this is to replace the electronic unit unless you know of someone who can diagnose and repair circuit boards. The part is common and easily replaced for around $60. Miele's website can point you in the right direction for a service center, or tell me your zip code and I'll look it up for you.

SOURCE: Miele s571 vacuum cleaner power surges up and down

I just repaired the same problem. It is not the motor. There is a defective capacitor in the regulator. Large grey capacitor should have a value of 0.22uF/275V. It was in my case just 85uF. Changed capaitor and it was OK.

Miele Solution 5281 motor problem - can it be fixed?

You cant repair the motor but it is not too hard to replace the motor. I have made a video showing how to replace the motor on a miele S5311 which is a very similar machine. The part number for the Miele S5281 motor is 9271290

Miele canister keeps shutting off when i press + it starts again for short while and off again whats problem i have changed bar but still no good

Was it hot when you pressed "+" button? Did you check the filters(Hepa) or bag if clogged or suction path was blocked? Does it happen after it was cool down? From what you said, it seems none of the above. Only thing I can think of is circuit board. The mortor runs in variable speed. "+" increase the average voltage to the motor thus higher suction. PWM circuit in main pcb may not working correctly.

High priced vacuum cleaner like this shouldn't fail like this but it does. JMO.

Miele vacuum cleaner hepa tt2000 blue

Is there a valve on the handle, near the tube or right on top by the switch that you can move to allow for less suction?

Miele vacuum cleaner not working properly

Is the suction low or ok at the vacuum without the hose attached? If it is ok, then there is a clog in the hose. If it isn't, then check filters, is the speed variable, is the contol set too low. Could be a bad motor, running too slow.
