Thought I'd split this, above for backstory and excuses for not doing this sooner, this thread for the normal style refurbishment!
I'd put the hose through the wash previously when I had a load, and the floortool is new, and I'm not bloody taking it apart as it works, and the poles are clean, so I didn't bother with those, just the main machine
This bag came from the S5210, and it was half full then, was bricked when I removed it...
Bottom filter came out of it after a vac, top filter I cut from a bojack filter I had for a Miele S7 (Bought cheap S7 bags for Hoover Uprights...)
Will wash and re-use those for now
Tool cover popped
Removed, and the front trim peice removed too
Small tools out
Dusting brush came from somewhere years ago, and was full of fluff
Upholstry tool broken down
Spring that pops the hood removed
Exhaust diffuser removed
and with 2 popped tabs the bag door top comes away from the machine
I removed the screws from the hose holder, and this connecting pipe came off
The bag fill piston indicator is actually the one from the S5210, I swapped it as it was broken, and I wanted the S5210 to be perfect... Doesn't really bother me as once fitted its held together with the housing anyway!
Powerhead connector cover removed
Under the hose connector housing are bits I;ve not seen before! One is the powerhead plug, the other is the sensor for the Automatic setting
Fill indicator/tool door popper removed
wiring tray and bits removed
The white bit is the sensor. In Automatic mode, it's supposed to sense how much airflow is needed and adjust to suit
This is nothing new, Hoover had it on their top of the line Turbopower 2 Autosense cleaners, and I;ve heard it's pretty good.
It doesnt really work on this, just ramps the motor up to full power until you restrict the airflow when it went right down. I blew a load of fluff out of the connecting pipe so maybe that will help... I blasted the sensor out with switch cleaner too
Bag top wiring fully removed
Removed the wiring from the tray
Took the wires out of the powerhead plug
On the other end, the pins are held in place with these 2 pegs, which took bloody ages to find
Once removed, the wires just pull out
Lid release mechanism removed
This is the bag holder from the S5210, which is broken. I bought a new one for the S5210, and just kept this one. If one is careful when fitting the bag it's fine, its when you pull it around it pings out and puts the bag on the piss. Will probably replace it at somepoint in a moment of boredom, but for now it stays too
The Active clean filter is from the S5210 as well, so I washed it with the machine
Ont othe rear. The on/off switch and rewing switch covers are also fro mthe S5210, I swapped them for the minty ones on this to, again, make it look tip top. The rewind button has a broken tab, but it works and doesn't bother me, I can switch it on and off with the end of the tube, which works for me...
The +- buttons pop out first (I had to do all this to fix the motor so know how it goes...)
their 2 springs
A new switch and rewind cover is £17 from Miele, maybe one day I'll grab some. The coating pells off easily tbh, seen lots looking scruffy
The cover that houses the LED display comes out next
6 screws later, the top housing comes out
The 2 pegs that hold the bag door lid on and hinges it comes out next
The 2 pads that hold the machine upright pop out
Next layer now
This peice seems to diffuse the light from the LED's
One of the resons I love Miele is everything is plug and play. The entire switch/pcb/wiring tray unplugs nad lifts out
Plug for bag door and the main input plug
This is a switch, so when you park the floor tool it pauses the machine!
The wiring and assorted stuff unpicks from the tray
Busy little circuit board
The LED guide lifts off
This is the park switch
This is the movement piece
Another layer done, another to do
3 screws and 2 clips at the front...
The pre filter cage slides out, a load of grit fell out from behind this bit
The release valve has never worked...
That'll be why then
This is the bag door seal
and this is the business end
Cord rewind unplugged and lifted out. I did nothing bar give it a brush down as these are £££££££££
£££ even second hand
Motor rubbers off
Motor sound deadening and motor compartment seal out
Underneath now
and the wheels come off and apart
These bits are the side parking slots. No switch on these though
And she was stripped and ready for washing
Non washables
Everything was washed, dried and then polished. Then laid out for a picture!
and re-assembled!
Wheels back on
smear of grease on the pivot spindles
smear of grease on the wheel axles
Side parking slots back in
motor and cord rewind in
Post motor filter housing slotted in
and the motor housing layer re-fitted
Release valve refitted
Cleaned up and refitted circuit board and switch tray fitted
LED Diffuser fitted
Post motor filter and cage fitted
switch covers and led cover fitted
Wired the bag lid back up
A new bag was fitted! Have one left after this, so will buy a new service box in ready and change the lot, thats why I just washed the filters tbh
The filters cleaned up fine anyway
bag compartment lid fitted
Small tools fitted (yes, the dusting brush has been chewed by a dog...)
tool door fitted, and job done!
She works just like new again now! No smell at all, suction is much sharper than before and the LED's shine brighter! The Auto setting works better too. VAcuuming carpet, it hovers at about the middle of the range, but as soon as you lift the head off it shoots up to full popwer, same with vacuuming laminate. Will rarely use that setting tbh!
Still, my new daily driver is nearly done. She does need a run over with the machine polisher, but that can be for another time. It's already been put to work, clearing up after a DC14 I stripped earlier, and it performed very well!
Hope you enjoyed it! I'm off to bed now...
