Bag light
Bag light on, bag not full. Fine dust seals the bag first. A clogged hose, filter or wand does it too.
Shuts off
Cuts out, starts again later. The motor guard tripped: full bag, filters or a blockage. Miele says wait about 30 minutes.
Red light
Electrobrush red light. Hair or thread jammed the roller. Cleared and reset, or a new belt.
Cuts in and out
Powerhead cuts in and out. Worn contacts in the electric hose or wand. Cleaned, or a new electric hose.
Other issues: weak suction or cleaning, signs of a full bag, dirty filters or a clog.
Free estimate while you wait.
Free quick check, straight answers.
Time for a new one? Ask about the Vacuum Care Club: 4 repairs that never expire, 10% off bags, filters and accessories, and a free carpet cleaner rental every year.
