How to replace suction lock switch on miele s720 vacuum telescopic wand

SOURCE: 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.

WARNING WARNING Danger danger Will Robinson! The power head "wand" and the hose from the body of the vacuum have shorts in them. While my wife was using this machine.. she started smelling plastic.. seeing whitish smoke and then sparks... The pin connector arc'd through the plastic... Some research on Google found that this has been a large problem for Electrolux, when i tried to call the factory.. robots.... no solution. Then I contacted a distributor and they informed me that it was not really that big of a problem. Only later to say, that they had replaced ALOT of them. My unit was past its warranty period so I just hardwired it. (now the unit is only two pieces, body and hose w/wand.)

You might try sucking the sose out with another vacum from the wrong way. You might be able to remove the hose and push a broom handle or stiff wire through. If you have compressed air available, you could try that, outside.

Im sure you have a clog and if you remove it, you will be back in business.

• At the bottom rear of the vacuum cleaner is a service flap. Remove the screws and remove the flap. Now you can remove any blockages from there.

• Don't forget to check the hose too. At the base of the hose it unscrews so you can clear any blockages from the hose and where the hose attaches.
• Cut all hairs etc from the brush bar to make sure it rotates with no holdups. The brush bar is the bar that cleans the floor located under the base.
• Make sure to replace the exhaust/HEPA filter too.
• Those maintenance steps will get you up and running again.
• Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa.

Hi There,
You can get a button repair kit and it should fix your problem which is normally a loose spring. In Australia VacuumSpot sell these over the net.
