Join me as I service a Miele c3 s8 canister vacuum ,that has been used with out the Filter bag in place . Big user error!
You can see it takes a lot of work to clean out this Dyson like mess from this Miele c3/s8 vacuum.
Note this should only be done by authorized Miele Dealers ! Do not try this at home!

You, sir, are a perfectionist. I know because i am exactly like that as well. I bet that particular Miele has not been that clean since it was purchased at the shop . :-)
am a Miele dealer, and its my first time changing a motor in Vacuum. My tech is on vacation and I watched hime for 7 months, I will be a big girl now !
Fantastically detailed video! Impressive how well you've documented and narrated the video. Your professionalism comes across very well.
pleasure to watch somebody who cares to meet and exceed customers expectations...well done..and enjoyed the video..
Thanks a ton for posting this video; it made my job very easy as I was following along while repairing my 3-year old C3 Miele vacuum cleaner. It had nearly stopped working due to leakage of dust into the motor and other parts of the cleaner. While I didn't do detailing as shown in the video I am happy that the VC is now running almost as new.
wonderful to see someone take pride in doing their work even though most people (outside of obsessive youtubers) will never see it.
Good job man. You're always the best performer. Kudos!
That "special Miele tool" is awfully similar to the little plastic tool that comes with their washing machines to open the pump door ;)
Where can we buy one?
It also looks like a automotive trim tool
Great job Especially the cleaning details at the end Keep doing that friend !!!
Great Video! Hope to see more of these in the future.
Thank you! Worked for disassembling Miele SGDG1 too.
Thank you so much for your job, first of all! And for useful video. It helps me to clean my Miele s 8730 after my children use it without bag.
Excellent. A worthwhile watch. My partner has completely ruined our 1 yo miele C3by not seating bag correctly and has F up the motor. I wish I could find a service like this in the UK.
Thanks for this and your other Miele videos!!! I was able to fix our C3 vacuum which was used with a misfitting bag. I don't have an air compressor but was able to take the motor apart for cleaning too. Put it back together and works like new!!!
How did you clean the motor? I forgot to put a new bag to my miele too :( I cleaned everything ( thanks to this video ) except for the motor.
@@mena955 - He just blew it out with a power compression spray
I Treat my c3 like my baby genuine bags for ever
Thank you for your video! Using it I have repaired my vacuum cleaner!
Thank you so much sir, you helped me a lot.
Glad I saw your video. My daughter used it without a bag. Now I know I have to take it in for a serious cleaning/repair.
+Gina Lefranc you can also check out my patreon if there's nobody by you happy to help.
Ouch
Thank you you saved me a lot of money~
Thanks for posting this - it saved hours of swearing and frustration getting my C3 open after the cord retract failed. Turned out there was an plastic letter "Y" jammed in the return spring, I blame my 2 year old!
Gladys was of help. I can't say I have ever seen toy alphabet letters jammed in a cord reel before. 🤣
Wow, great job servicing that vacuum. What an excellent video showing how Miele vacs come apart, how to clean them, and then how to put them back together! I have been pretty gentle on my Miele and have had it for 15 years. I just took it in for a service yesterday. It actually looked pretty clean inside because I would vacuum the interior when I changed bags if it seemed dusty. The bags are so good that it's rare that it would look bad. My only regret is letting a rather clumsy tenant use it, because she would bang the exterior on her bed frame, and put so many scratches on it. Mine has a soft-touch paint that was really beautiful when it was new, but doesn't hold up well, and can't be polished up like in the video. I hope the owners were charged a lot for that extensive detail.
It's a damn shame people would spend over $1K on a high end vacuum and not take care of it.. Great video by the way. I always wondered what these looked like taken apart
Some people have more money than sense.
@First Last Definitely not 50$. Unfortunately outside of Dyson and door-to-door salesmen brands this is a pretty low margin business. Cost of distribution is also stupendously high. I'd guess the manufacturing costs are around ~50%, more for the cheaper models, distribution, marketing and RMA costs probably make up the bulk of the rest and the margins are 25 to 15% on the high end models and 10 to -1% on the cheaper models
@@alcapone7879 Lol stop being an elitist mistakes happen.
is this vacuum really over $1k in the usa? its only around €300 in europe
Mine is going in to get serviced.... really hope it gets serviced this well lol
This is an awesome vacuum. I found one recently used under a year old for $750. Unfortunately even though the hepa filter is almost new it has an animal smell to it. I will have to take it to the shop and have them take it apart and completely clean it. Perhaps replace the filter. I don't know why people don't take care of vacuums. I clean houses and I absolutely love love love this vacuum. I have isef Miele for years and this one is absolutely amazing.
Ugh! I was vacuuming with our C3 and opened the closet door to the water heater and saw some 'dust' in the water heater pan. Removed the floor attachment and used the 'tube' to get into that tight space and it turned out not to be dust.... it was water! My water heater had sprung a leak and my old eyeballs didn't see it. I quickly turned off the vacuum (but water still got sucked into it). My immediate attention went towards replacing the water heater (2nd floor condo) and so it was a day or more before I could get back to the vacuum. Watching these videos to see if I have a chance of repairing. Now that I have time to think about it.... the vacuum cost more than the water heater did... but I had to make sure the folk downstairs didn't suffer from our mishap.
Alex we miss these videos . You definitely make everything look so easy. Maybe one day you can go back to this style of videos.
@@PerformanceReviewsI guess I need to catch up. Thanks
Great advice
Are you the owner, or do you make the owner his/her money? Great work, patience, knowledge! Great video!
Nice to see what's inside a Uni-Q (I've one for upstairs vacuuming). Mine differs only that it's wearing Miele Dynamic castors (no idea why Miele used those on their Alize model but not their top end model!).
Have u seen ,used , worked on or have a opinion on Steril Aire ? They bought Delta a number of years ago . Miele Brilliant ,or a Sebo D4 onyx ,or E3 onyx which would you chose? Thanks for such great video and information I learn so much on your channel.
Great video, just had one in for service and this saved me a lot of time and guesswork. I had the special tool because it's the same as the one on my Miele Washing Machine.
Cannot believe people that spend that kind of money on a Machine like that and don't take care of it! You clean up every thing like new! You are Awesome!
Thanks you you I could repair my Miele in about 2 hours, otherwise it could took me 2 days. The AC cable was damaged at the very beginning.
Thanks for watching.
Sehr toll
Wow
What do you use to remove paint scuffs?
Great!
Excellent video! Looking forward to receiving my new classic. I take care of my stuff and this will be no different. I can't see spending good money on something and then not maintaining it.
My mom told me that we couldn't get genuine bags because it's expensive so I refused to let her or me use it
I don’t have that tool but I have just replaced the motor on my C3, I have also serviced the turbo foot.
Never sent a vacuum get detailed like a car, before! Ready for resale! The owner doesn't deserve to get this back, if they spent all that dough and can't put in new bags! Duh?!
It’s light weight🌼 great suction, easy to maneuver and gets up all the dog hair. I will recommend Miele to anyone and everyone with dog hair and allergies.
Is that filter that sits on top of the HEPA filter necessary? I mean it's not really a filter. I was just wondering if it's necessary to have another buffer after the HEPA. It's not like it's stopping any particles from escaping.
Hi Performance Reviews,
This happened to my vacuum by accident. I have a new Miele C3 Complete PowerLine SGDF3 (S 8340), used twice.
After the second use, when I opened the hatch I noticed that there's dust all over the compartment, accumulated residue of carpet yuck on the motor filter, and the air/exhaust filter was all dirty as well.
The way this happened was that when you open the hatch to the bag compartment, the bag is pulled out of this place during the process (not sure if this intentionally, or just happens by chance), so the next time when you close the hatch, you have to make sure to click into place the bag again (talking about original bags, of course). So when closed, there was a small space between the hose and bag, and this let way for some of the dirty stuff to go through the vacuum (this was noticeable because the bag had smudges of dirt in that top section).
Again, this was really accidentally and an honest mistake. This happened only once on a short vacuum session, and probably never again (lesson learned, right?).
Vacuum is bought from another country, and Miele authorized dealer in my country is out of the question, as it will probably cost me more than the vacuum cost itself.
My question is: is the vacuum now in need of something of what you did in this video, or is there anything I can do from user side to rectify the problem as much as I can?
Really hoping for the latter, because I have invested so much effort into getting one of these machines, only to end its life for a mistake such as this.
The automatic bag removal is a feature of the vacuum. You're always supposed to reseat the bag before you close it.
Generally speaking they do need some sort of service once that happens. The very least you can do is change all the filters, vacuum out the compartment thoroughly what's a different vacuum. Air compressor can help too.
@@PerformanceReviews Thank you very much for the feedback, really appreciate it.
I went through the manual and don't think I have ever stumbled upon this part with the bag being reset every time you open the compartment, and while I could be the exception, this really does seem like a really poor, nearly useless feature. I see its point, but anyway it's just not worth the risk of something like this happening to a brand new vacuum for no apparent reason (never mind, I am just angry at myself for letting this happened to me, so /rant off).
As I cannot have it serviced the phenomenal way you did in this video, I will just do what you suggested, and hope it will serve me well without it.
Kind regards.
How’s your vacuum doing? Did you end up getting it professionally serviced or were you able to clean it yourself?
@@sammy7237 , hello. The vacuum is doing just fine for now.
I have not had it professionally service because I think in my country, it will cost me like half the price I paid for the vacuum itself.
Took to a local vacuum service shop to "just have a look", and by experience they told me that the vacuum works great, has not lost suction power, and to continue using it as is. I am aware that it's a shallow answer, but I am going to have to take it as it is.
And I do not plan to do it myself as the vacuum is new and still under warranty (despite the great, in-depth videos from professionals such as Performance Reviews!).
What I did is thoroughly clean the compartment by vacuuming and wiping it to a state like new. The initial bag is almost full now, and as advised above, will change the exhaust filter earlier than planned.
It is a fact that some debris landed in the motor, seeing how much of it landed outside the bag and in the compartment, but this was not a case as in the video above - to vacuum without a bag... so I try and take comfort in the fact that this will not cause motor damage in the (near) future.
In case you have more questions, just ping me.
I feel sorry for the mechanically uninitiated who end up unknowingly abusing their expensive gear like this, but thanks to the internet and videos like this, we can hope to pull them into the light some day. I only have an entry-level C1 but damn it's such a fine machine to use after my years-long dalliance with cheapo bagless vacs. I treat this C1 like any sane owner would treat this expensive C3; with respect
Mine is making a very light vibrating sound when on but still has a very strong suction.
What should I do?
Is the tool used at 1:08 from a Miele washing machine?
All parts that fit in the dishwasher I would just place there and give it a deep clean that way. The dishwasher can clean most things... Even dirty shoes :-)
After seeing the insides of both I'm glad I have a Kirby.
+Maximaniac72 till that bag hose brakes
I've had a G4 for 19 years and the bag hose did break about 8-10 years ago. Hmm, it's probably due to break again. Oh well, it's going to my daughter as I just bought a Sentria 2 for $65. I noticed the bag hose on it looks different. Hopefully it holds up better. Still, 1 $10 hose every 10 years I can live with.
You do great work btw. Very professional and detailed.
Really cool to see you take apart and wash the vacuum parts... And I'm a girl haha. Thanks for sharing your videos! I definitely would take it in vs. Do myself... Yikes. Makes me want to take better care of my vacuum!!
Lol the special tool is from a Miele washing machine to open the flap at the front
That's good to know 🤣
Thanks to your video I stripped down a Miele Ecoline. Unfortunately, the bag wasn't fitted properly and have dust got into the motor. The motor area wasn't too impacted, I did manage to clean most of it away. I'm just wondering how much dust got inside the motor as I cannot open it. It sounds perfectly fine but there's an awful musty smell coming from the motor. What can I do to freshen it up? Thanks.
I would get some enzyme-based carpet cleaner and wash the parts in that. You might also get some of new green sound insulation.
In this video I show disassembly of the motor do be careful!
ua-cam.com/video/hP2abXQmS5U/v-deo.html
Thanks, I've done that it seems to have helped. The motor is starting to make an odd sound when I turn it off. I did put a a mildly damn freshner is the bag. Surely, this couldn't have caused this? Miele motors seems hard to track down ... any ideas where I could locate a 550w Ecoline? Cheers.
Can you tell why the Dyson DC23 motorized head keeps switching off ( I have cleaned the head)
No, but I'm sure your local vacuum shop can.
Sometimes these miele vacuums have issues as the bag doesn't always line up with the tube nozel, then this happens... Takes one to carefully check each time a bag is changed!
If someone were to use a C1 Powerline MIele a few times with an air filter, but without the bag, is that a death sentence for the vacuum?
Where to buy the insulation (for sound-proofing) thats around the motor?
+misfit978 you'd have to go in and get it from your local dealer. Most vacuum companies do not want the consumer just buying parts over the counter without consulting a Professional
During my search for thick felt for a craft project, I actually stumbled across the same material that’s used for the isolation/insulation pads. Just search for “industrial felt,” maybe add “recycled” to the search terms, and you’ll find it, I promise. If you can buy just a yard/metre, you could easily DIY it. If you have the old pieces to use as a template, that’s even better. Hope this information didn’t come too late. Good luck!
what did you use to get the paint marks out
Stain-X Vac Cleaner
Excellent video. I like the encapsulated motor. Next time you are taking apart a Miele upright vacuum please make a video of that too. Oh, are the on/off and cord switches made from plastic or metal?
they are Chromed ABS plastic .
They're made of plastic, so take care not to damage them when gettong them out. A small screwdriver will do and no brute force!
I got my Miele c3 apart a lot quicker and differently, sorted the problem of chihuahua peeing over the buttons... Now need lots of superglue to put it back together.... Should of come here first me thinks.... Oopsy 👍
One thing you forgot the filter and the other black felt filter.
I trash them they can get a odor .
Performance Reviews you did not put a new one in though!
Performance Reviews. hey try dawn dish soap wash the filters then dry the order is gone and u don't wast a good filter amicher
What would you recommend to clean/polish my Miele? That bottle has alcohol and what in it? I live very far out in the country and the dealer is almost 2hrs away.
A little bit Pledge furniture polish on the outside of your vacuum.
Performance Reviews and what about removing the smudges? Alcohol mixes with what? Pledge?
Performance Reviews I tried asking on a Miele Facebook group and everyone is being rude. One guy said it’s a vacuum not a car. Do they have ceramic paint jobs?
Just leave the paint smudges there, it's just a vacuum cleaner.
@@PerformanceReviews to most people. To me it’s a passion - one of my true loves. My C3 is my most prized vac in my collection , and because of that I try to do what I can to keep immaculate.
Hey, my C3 Eco Line Vacuum doesn't power on and only shows red warning light, I've dusted everything including the motor, would you happen to know what the problem is?
Bring it to your local authorized dealer.
What about the foam that you removed at 0:28 ? It doesn't seem like you replaced it.
Check out the Instagram performance reviews I have a detailed explanation of there for you why I don't replace it
For those wondering: instagram.com/p/Bjh470aAj3A/? "It's strictly cosmetic! Dust from the vacuum sitting in the closet builds up on it" - though I wonder if it helps mute the motor sound?
Is it possible to take apart the white plastic motor casing at 19:21 to really get inside the motor?
Check out my other video on the S8 Kona. You can but it's really not recommended
@@PerformanceReviews yeah, I just tore down a C3 Brilliant today that had been used without a bag. I did use a metrovac, but some of the dirt was caked onto the propellers. Oh well, I got as much off as possible. Don't think it will affect day-to-day use.
I own an equivalent high end "European" model the Select XL Parquet and yes you can and should disassemble the motor for inspection and cleaning as part of the service. Its pretty straightforward. The metal end cap is a loose press fit so just tap it off with a soft mallet then 4 torx20 screws and a metric 13mm socket for the nut on the motor spindle. Remember it's a left hand thread, clockwise to loosen. Use a small flat head screw driver to block the impeller, not vice grips! Thanks for the videos but you make it overly mysterious imho. Anyone with some basic tools and patience can overhaul and service these machines with no fuss.
The only thing I wouldn’t have done was wash the tool lid in water because it has the electric wires for the hose control communication and electric power brush in it. Unless you removed those wires then it’s fine. I removed the wires before when working with these.
It's absolutely fine to wash most electrical stuff as long as you give an ample time to dry. You can even put this in the dishwasher.
Wow, I didn’t realize that. Well, you have taught me something new today.
I own a 10 year old miele looking a bit like this one. It's way easier to take apart. Less plastic parts, less clips.. That's a shame.
Would have more plastic. The S8000 has 30% less plastic then the outgoing s5000 . It's significantly more durable as well.
Poor thing
USA variant!
I have an s8 (S8330 Clean Air) that when you turn it on, the light on the power indicator flashes and then goes out.
It doesn't turn on. Any ideas what is wrong?
Bring it to your Local Miele dealer . It might be in this order PCB ,cord real motor,switch . With out seeing a vacuum in front of me its hard to diagnose.
The power cord damage inside
Cord reel damage inside when you open it you can see my vacuum got same problem like your
Well done! I wish every Miele store had one of you. Miele needs to hire you to train dealers.
who everhad that miel canister did take care of it.
$1500.00 vacuum and use a generic bag.Top of the line S8. I'm assuming the owner was trying to be cheap in the wrong area.
Miele's are super easy to work on. Yes, you can try this at home.
Indeed! Thanks to this excellent and very instructive video, I tried at home and did NOT f..k it up. Just take time to watch, watch over if necessary and follow the steps taken. No special rools needed, just good care and common sense when putting a small screwdriver between the openings. Washed everything but the motor and electronics as shown. Cleaned the motor with conpressed air. The vacuüm is a lot less noisy since my repair / cleaning action, and the vacuum power did omprove enornmously. Thanks a lot for shring this video.
Why would people buy a vacuum that's over $1500 and treat it like that??
Some people have more money than sense.
This is not a s3 it is a c3 and this version, the C3 Complete costs $1500
Excuses, my mistake. Please see my post where I give the details of the model I own and compare to. That IS a C3 Black Diamond Ecoline.
The equivalent model would actually be the C3 Complete Brilliant, since it incorporates the power controls on the handle, and also being a powerline model. At my local Sewing & Vacuum store, the C3 Brilliant retails ~$1200. If you throw in a bunch of extras, it can in fact get to $1500.
Probably a wedding or baby shower gift
anyone can service these on their own.
Absolutely anybody can void their 10 year warranty anytime they wish.
I canon understand Europeans, this is a brilliant machine but it's not available in Europe?? WTF. The closest top of the line is a 550W model (Looney EU Rules) and only has the powerhead switch on the hose and does not come with the SEB-236 Electro Premium powerhead. I'm currently living in Europe and have an older (Australian) 2200w version of the Capricorn unit and I absolutely love it but this model was not popular (or available) due to Europeans thinking that it takes too much power. This is incorrect thinking, using more power and powerful powerhead cuts cleaning time right down (especially if you have Cats). With a piss weak machine it will take you much longer and use the same or more power (been there, done that).
Yep it's crazy, we are limited to 1600w.. Most Miele available are 890w which my C3 is, I find it more than ample, pulls the carpet up in the air, best vacuum I've ever had, tho found my ninja chihuahua has been watering it, now it's in bits
The one thing I like about the regulation's is that a vacuum has to be decently quiet
I have an ecoline and I'm still impressed with the suction power and no I don't have a pet to pee on it.
I wish they made power heads available in the UK
How stupid must one be to use a BAGGED vacuum cleaner WITHOUT the bag?!!!
Why are you showing your viewers what to do and then telling them not to do it!
