Stuck in incline position

The stand assembly needs to be carefully and thoroughly inspected to determine where it is binding or hanging up somewhere.

The most likely cause is something is stuck in the valve that switches the airflow from the floor to the tools as you pull the handle back.

There is a rear dust cover that sometimes gets stuck, this will make it almost impossible to lock the handle up. First locate the cover which is at the rear right above the wheels. It's about 2"x8" and ribbed vertically and slides up behind the rear panel of the lower body. If it's in there and stuck, just realign it with the 2 grooves on each side or remove it completely; it is a dust shield after all. The best fix is to replace the rear panel and dust shield and they are ordered together and the cost is fairly low. Also check the alignment of the rear body panel at the bottom There are 2 tabs that protrude down about and inch on each side, the one closest to the handle release lever sometimes gets bent and causes the unit to jam. If this does not help there is one more solution involving the rear wheel assembly. check to see that the rear wheel axel is straight, meaning both wheels are parallel at all times while releasing the handle. If the axel is crooked, the wheel assembly must be replaced and you should have a Miele service center order the part and do it for you.

Please unplug the unit.
2. Check to make sure the button is not stuck in the on position. 3. If the switch is stuck, try to move the button in the off and on position 4. If the problem persists, you may have a defective button stuck in the on position 5. Please do not attempt to disassemble the unit as the risk of electricution is high.

looking at the front off the machine... ON the left hand side there's a black button... Push in in the slide the plastic behind it towards you... it should clip into position and the vacuum should stand up again,

This machine has a clutch assy. that slips and makes a loud noise
when something gets stuck in the roller brush. If you have nothing stuck in the roller brush chances are the clutch is worn and needs
replacing. Not an easy job and best done by a repair tech. You can find a video on youtube showing how to replace the clutch if you are
inclined to try to do it yourself.
