Depending on the extent of a fault, repairs of vacuum cleaners can be assigned to a category of simple, medium and complex ones. There are mechanical and electric breakdowns.

The troubleshooting table with error codes for miele vacuum cleaners below is an excellent assistant in this matter.
| Problem | Cause and remedy |
|---|---|
| The vacuum cleaner switches off automatically. | A temperature limiter switches the vacuum cleaner off automatically if it gets too hot. This can occur if, for instance, large articles block the suction tube or when the dustbag is full or contains particles of fine dust. A heavily soiled exhaust or dust compartment filter can also be the cause of overheating. Switch the vacuum cleaner off immediately using the On/Off foot control. Disconnect from the electricity supply. Switch off at the wall socket and unplug it. After removing the cause, wait for approximately 20 - 30 minutes to allow the vacuum cleaner to cool down. It can then be switched on again. |
