Well that is a cliffhanger!! I have the situation where the machine (Miele C3 Complete) sometimes works and sometimes it doesn't. I replaced the powerswitch, but it didn't change. Right at the end of your video you say: " If you find that the switch is functioning, you have something else going on here. There's a couple of differen possibilities" END of VIDEO! lol Can you please tell me what those are? I hope I can fix it myself, but I need some pointers I guess... Hoping to hear! Thanks for your great video, it helped me in the first steps in repairing!

If there’s a blockage somewhere it will heat up then when you switch it off and it cools down it will start again. I suggest checking the whole machine for blockages and if you have an air compressor to blow it out. Good luck

Thank you for making this video! I found a white C3 today that did not work. Like you said the cord reel is broken, the blue wire is broken exactly where it leaves the reel. I am not going to bother with it today but at least I know what is wrong with it. Thanks again!

Thanks for a great tutorial. What's the diagnosis for a faulty switch? I have a dead unit but when you try to switch it on, the display light blinks once then goes off...recently replaced the motor brushes too. Would it be the board or the motor or the switch? Thanks for your help.

I would guess the board but definitely not the power switch.

Hey Guys, can you replace the power selector?

@BeefandEggs 8 ай бұрын

Quick question if you don’t mind. I have a Miele canister vacuum and the other day I pressed on the power switch the vacuum turned on for 1 second then just died and now won’t turn back on. I don’t think it’s clogged do you think it’s this power button? Ok peace out bye

@vacuumsrus 8 ай бұрын

Normally if a unit is clogged it takes several minutes of run time before the thermal sensor kicks in and turns the unit off. In your case since it is nearly instant there is a decent chance it could be the switch.

the switch is not defective and the powercord is lso not defective, the motor is in good condition, what can it be??? (Miele S8)

I translated with google: I have a Miele S8340. Only the minimum lamp flashes constantly, no other function. First I replaced the electrolytic capacitor on the control board. Without success. Then I Opened the engine and checked the circuit board with the triac. Visually there is no error to be seen. Now Re-soldered the soldering points and reassembled everything. Also without success. The min. lamp just flashes. However, if I turn the power switch on and off several times in a row, the motor twitches sometimes. When I switch on the vacuum cleaner after a few days of rest, the min. lamp flashes and after about 10 seconds the engine suddenly starts. If I then switch it off and on again, only the lamp flashes again and the motor does not start. What could that be? Is this due to the triac in the motor or rather to the control board? I would be very grateful for an answer.

@@loukasdimitriou4583 Unfortunately not. But I think the control board is defective. I bought used control boards on eBay. After installation, the buttons and lights responded again. But the engine now always ran at full power. I think the boards from Ebay are also defective.

Hi, i bought a used miele c3 but when i turned on its not working and i see a ⚠️ light what's that mean and thank you

@vacuumsrus 8 ай бұрын

In order of likelihood that is most likely a motor failure. It could be the PCB. In the case of the C3 that have suction in the handle it could be the hoe assembly. It is not the power switch or cord reel.

I use to have an old electrolux. It was an unkillable machine. The switch died after maybe 30 years of use. I opened it easily with SCREWs and bypassed the switch. Now I am stuck with this Miele C3 model, all plastic, cannot repair yourself, the switch died after 4 years with weekly use.
