Re: Miele Revolution 700

I hope people haven’t thrown away their old “broken” ones, as I think we’ve found a fix (Miele’s repair service sounded good, but at about £100, not particularly economic, and the other things they suggested were to check we were using their bags and replace filters as recommended, which we were already doing).

We were pretty convinced that our cut-out problem (which sounds like everyone else’s – the handle controls for the electrobrush would re-set to zero during use, to the extent the cleaner became unuseable) related to the connection from the flexible tube to the handset (we worked this out primarily by waggling it around, but my husband also has a gizmo which can check current, so he knew there didn’t appear to be any other breaks in the electrical connection). At the first attempt, my husband simply took apart the handle (unplugged, off course) and cleaned around the connection to the top of the flexible (corrugated) hose, where there are 3 metal bands. This didn’t work by itself, but on the second attempt he bent out slightly the little pins which are attached by wires to the handle controls (the circuit board bit) and which transfer the current from the three pins (you’ll see that the handle and hose fit together to make this contact between the “pins” and the metal bands at the top of flexible hose). It’s early days, but our problem seems to be fixed (for the moment).

Hope this might help someone.
