How to - Miele TurboTeq turbo brush not spinning REPAIR FIX [Technical]

[@rbrown6476]

Thank you! That was so helpful - old woman here with long hair wound around the Miele turbobrush and couldn’t figure out how to remove the housing so I could get all the hair out. Now I know where all those sneaky screws are hiding - under the wheels. I would never have worked that out. Also, you made me smile while you did a great job of teaching me how to do the job myself, and I didn’t know how to pronounce the name Miele all these years. Now I will remember: it rhymes with Sheila 😂😂😂 Well done!

[@parwaz7861]

Wow this was such a lovely comment to read!! It’s made my day and I’m so glad you found it helpful, I appreciate your kind words! 😁✌🏽

[@CB27]

18 seconds in and I knew I'd found the right video! All these years I'd been cursing Miele thinking they'd glued this darn turbo brush shut or something! I was used to opening the old ones, which were much easier to disassemble. There was hair tightly compacted around the turbo shaft as well. No idea how it gets right in that far. I do think Miele need to rethink this design. Thank you for making this entertaining video!

[@parwaz7861]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@187nellybelly]

I enjoyed your energy and passion at 5:03 when you got it working again!

[@aaronwjs]

I thought I am the only person who gets this excited to vacuum! Thank you for the assistance! Love it!

[@parwaz7861]

You are so welcome! ✌🏽

[@ellencecilia1605]

Thank you! I took it apart. I had trouble with the end clips, mainly the middle one. Worried I stretched the belt too much but revved it up and it Works~

[@susanvickerman7318]

This was the Best Video! I am sure you saved me a bunch of money on repair! I also was not sure why my vacuum was not working! I never thought that the power head would be so full of dog hair! Thank you!

[@iswimthedeeps]

Thanks so much for teaching us how to fix this. I still have to do it for my brush but now i know I’ll be able to fix it.

[@mikekinch665]

This was so helpful and clear with both the careful camera work and detailed commentary.

[@bobr2290]

To open the front "clips", I pried with 2 buterknives inserted vertical between the black plastic and the clear plastic. After I got it apart, I cut the black plastic edge of the holes so they would not lock in the clear plastic tabs. The screws hold it together fine.

[@Danacollings]

May I ask what you used to cut them with? I cannot for the life of me figure out how to open them!!

[@stevec9102]

@@Danacollings maybe a utility knife? I haven't tried opening mine yet (just watched the video) but the videographer did do it so fast it was hard to see how it came apart.

[@markthompson6455]

Great video. I've wasted so much time trying to figure out how to open the head and you explained it in seconds so many thanks. After removing half a ton of dog hair from all the moving parts the vacuum works like a dream again.

[@parwaz7861]

Glad it helped!

[@Lij_MC]

How long did it take to get to the stage where you had to take it apart?

[@markthompson6455]

About 4-5 years of use till the brushes stopped spinning properly.

[@annetteshewan1641]

Thank you - you have saved my cleaner twice now! I thought I was going to have to buy a new head at great cost!

[@rz1967]

Thanks, I wish i had this tutorial when i did this myself 4 years ago, very clear! Was a pain to figure out how to do it and also painful for my hands. Their system is bad. It's a very expensive brush(you can buy a cheap vacuum cleaner for this price) and it should have an easier way to clean inside. It's the only minus i see for Miele. Other than that the vacuum cleaner and the brush are amazing for carpets, no more hair and dust.

[@parwaz7861]

Glad it helped!

[@d2009wong]

Totally agree. The vacuum itself is good but this brush head is poorly designed and the replacement is way too expensive.

[@bedders81]

I have the C3 Cat and Dog (not TurboTeq) but this still helped me a lot, and as you predicted, the plastic bearings around the brush were a molten mass of plastic and hair! But after a good clean out and lubrication everything works much better. Thanks!

[@parwaz7861]

Great to hear!

[@MrUnfamiliar]

0:00 Happiest Miela (like Sheila) owner ever ! Jokes aside a big thank you from a country far away !

[@denniscollin5209]

Fantastic, was a bit of a pain to do, but persevered and by freeze framing a couple of steps was all done in about a hour! Saved me 80 quid, thankyou! You're a 'top man'

[@jablot5054]

Who charges £80 to take a brush apart?

[@brettwilm1]

Your magical "there we are!" at 1:17 is bogus. My brush was ready to break when I attempted same. NOT meant to be serviced at home and huge risk of breaking this expensive part if you do!

[@AndyRrayMusic]

Thanks you for this tutorial. I found it very helpful to take apart, clean, and re-assemble the head of my Miele TurboTeq spiining brush

[@parwaz7861]

You are welcome!

[@lilcaesars100]

Another thing thats was mind blowing to me was the bags i had wasted thinking they were full but in reality the vacuum roller just needed cleaning.🤯

[@AdrianDaniel-s3k]

Great video, it took a while but disassembled and reassembled and works like a charm !

[@tinakellbersavage5078]

Your instructions were so exciting to listen to. I still have the old style turbo head and the plastic on the roller brush has perished a bit but still works ok. I was thinking of buying this head as a replacement but it still looks like the plastic end caps haven't been improved by Miele.

[@victoriarapson1770]

Thanks for the video, our bearings have gone completely as you said they would in the video - any ideas which ones to replace them with?

[@parwaz7861]

Glad you found it helpful! I don’t think any parts are designed to be replaced on these unfortunately

[@lilcaesars100]

Take a picture and search through google it might be an available part

[@janetmatthews8967]

This was amazing! I found 2 other videos that already had the wheels removed, and I didn't know how they'd done that first step. Clear instructions the whole way through and I managed to clean my Turboteq head AND put it back together again to find it working beautifully. (Sadly, one of the bearings is on the way out, so my success is probably short-lived!)

[@parwaz7861]

I’m glad it helped!

[@avramgrossman827]

I have a Samoyed. You can only imagine how much fur gets into the mechanism. Thanks for this turtorial...I could not find how that there is a clip holding the clear plastic from window in place. Miele - if you're reading this, can you replace the brissel brush with a rubber brush strip? It will pull up the fur from the carpet but not hold onto it until the brush is gammed full and stops.

[@LilymayKincaid-xj4pq]

Fuck

[@Pixelology]

Great video - I love your enthusiasm! This Turboteq brush has almost identical internal components to several other Miele turbo heads, and also some from Wessel-Werk . Notably, I have to take apart my Wessel-Werk TK-286 quite regularily (I have pets) and clean it out. I've never had an issue, but the last time I did a deep clean because the vacuum sucked up some food, so I took everything apart and washed it. I am under the impression that all of the bearings do not require lubricant, but your video recommends that the pieces be lubricated. Can you recommend a lubricant to use on these components? Won't a lubricant just attract dust and hair?

[@parwaz7861]

Thanks! Glad it helped. I think a little wd40 or sewing machine should be sufficient enough, not too much because as you mention, it will attract more dust Hope this helps!

[@d.brentharsh184]

You saved the day before I smashed the damn thing! (hidden screws under the wheels) - we'd had an old Miele since 1999 and its turbobrush looked almost identical... except that it had 2 really nice coin-twist style screw plates to get the simplest bottom cover off for a weekly hair trim off the brush. Then to take the rest apart once a year or so, the screws were only philips and not Torx... and weren't hidden! I'd rebuilt it at least 20 times over the years. The last time was the last straw and we got this new one a few months ago ... but it's already it's all jammed up so I went to clean the brush and nothing was fitting or opening like it used to and I was getting very, very frustrated! Sneaky guys, wanting to keep their dealers in regular business!

[@parwaz7861]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@suealcock6160]

HOW DO I KNOW WHEN BRUSH NEEDS REPLACING. ARE THE BRISTLES A CERTAIN LENGTH. ? I have bought a second hand turbo head, one hardly used it says but the bristes dont look any longer than my old one.? Your comments would be appreciated/

[@DianaTheOne]

Dude!!!!!!!!!!Thank you so so much, excellent video!!! Miele should pay for you!

[@stevec9102]

Excellent cheerful video. I only could remove the two visible screws and the darn thing would not budge any further, until watching this video. Who'da thought they would hide 4 screws under 4 wheels? Now I can dismantle this mother and clean it properly. Oh and I dint realize the two screws I removed were T-10, I used a hex wrench and got them out just fine (in case your wondering). But I do have a T-10 I wil use on the rest. Mee-la.

[@studiowerks]

At 1:14, you release a clip, but it's hard to tell if it remains attached to the head or flies out of frame. I'm almost at this point in disassembly, but I haven't pried it as wide open as you've done in the video-I'm worried I'll break something. I would greatly appreciate a hint on what to look for. Thanks!

[@parwaz7861]

Hi, I can’t remember if the clip is on the upper cover or the lower half, but it’s part of the casing and it can take some effort to pry it open

[@studiowerks]

@@parwaz7861, I appreciate the quick response. In my case, mostly out of frustration, I kept applying gentle but constantly increasing pressure as I opened the clamshell. At some point, it just popped open-no breakage and no loose clips, just really, solidly, seated together. So, success! But the designers did not want, or didn't care about, the average person repairing this thing.

[@mattausmus5025]

Great instructions. The only issue I had were those front tabs. You popped those out so fast I couldn’t see how you did it. Lol. Got mine working again.

[@parwaz7861]

Glad it helped!

[@patrickorourke5791]

Any suggestions where to purchase new bearings? (The plastic pieces on the ends where the metal rod rubs)

[@jojo-tl5ei]

Crazy how hair can wind up so tightly. I have a different model but some of the moving parts are the same and finding your tutorial helpful. Is that a common screwdriver size you mentioned was needed? I might have to purchase it. Thanks.

[@parwaz7861]

Glad I could help! The screwdriver I have found to be useful for taking apart a lot of vacuum cleaners :)

[@wb2glp]

Thanks! Those leading edge clips suck. Thought I was going to break the whole case. I had a piece of a dog toy stuck inside. Didn’t know it until I had it apart.

[@janewaldron2137]

Thanks for the video. Sorted and repaired rather than paying £70. Well pleased.

[@ginalangridge5847]

That was really useful. It enabled my son to sort the brushes out for me. It was amazing how much hair can get tangled up in places that you wouldn't normally reach!

[@zaiivonhest]

Thanks for this! Actually surprised this is not easier to get clean. I have two cats and after each vacuum i have to get scissors just to remove hair....This helped doing a deeper clean though!

[@luey4916]

This has encouraged us to throw the turbo tech turbo brush out - thanks ❤

[@11th_Moon]

Thank you. I've had so much trast to Miele but not anymore after this brush

[@LeoCesario]

Hey, mate! Thanks for that. Super useful! When I dismantled the attachment, a small rubber ring came out. Now I don't know if it's something that was vacuumed in, or if it goes with one of the parts.

[@parwaz7861]

Glad it helped!

[@andrewsussman2202]

Dude, that worked thank you!

[@Sunburnt99]

Where is the best place to get replacement parts?

[@Bloxy.Builds]

Hey Parwaz, remember when I asked about repairing a burnt out dc33 motor, anyway I found a dc19 with a burnt out motor, the windings are all intact its just the brushes that had disintegrated, do you think sanding the commutator bar and adding new brushes could fix it?

[@parwaz7861]

Possibly, although there’s a chance the motor wouldn’t last very long - I would change the motor

[@Bloxy.Builds]

@@parwaz7861 that makes sense, just curiously how long do you think the motor could last before it officially burns out?

[@parwaz7861]

It’s hard to say - it depends on the condition of the motor and when the motor was made Usually the motors from the early 2000s in the early DC07/14/08s lasted for many years, whereas DC19t2s and DC33 which also used the same YDK motors didn’t last anywhere near as long due to the quality drop over the years (the uprights and cylinders generally used the exact same motors with the only difference being the spindle to drive the belt on the upright vacuums)

[@yang332]

Hi, I just tried to repaire mine but found the bearing of the spinner is totally damaged, do you know where I can buy this for replacing them? Thanks. BTW, what a poor design of the bearing!

[@parwaz7861]

I don’t think any parts are designed to be replaced on these unfortunately as spares aren’t readily available

[@dawneyg805]

Your video is brilliant. I have a Miele myself. The turbo has big plastic screws on the bottom, which is easier to get the plate off the bottom .

I got mine taken apart for cleaning but after reassembling NOW it doesn't spin.

[@parwaz7861]

You can do it!

[@TheCentreofKi]

Thanks for your video! I found it really helpful. Still took me forever to prise the damn thing apart as I thought I’d break it. Miele really outdid themselves with this design. Obviously they don’t want people servicing their own vacuum cleaner heads otherwise this would be a lot simpler.

Thanks for the video. The monkeys at Miele who designed this and approved it's release should be FIRED. A turbo brush impossible to clean = total rip off 🤬

[@Andrew-vt2wq]

On mine the hairs got stuck inside one of the bearings and it caused such friction the heat slowly melted the bearing away over time. What a terrible design....plastic bearings

[@NevetsSniktaw]

Great instructions, terrible design.

[@Heather-bk5zi]

It certainly isn't designed to make it easy to take apart to clean or repair! I took mine apart over a year ago now & not looking forward to doing it again. I suspect Miele don't want customers taking the head apart, more lucrative to get it repaired by them or buy a new one, shame because I like Miele products.

[@11845]

Спасибо большое, брат.

[@Lintahlo]

Terrible design by Miele. Clearly they don’t want people to repair and maintain their product. This turbo head gets clogged with hair and they don’t even bother giving you a hair cutting tool either.

[@d2009wong]

A new original turbo head is way too expensive.

[@bikes7777]

Wd40 is NOT a lubricant FYI.

[@skylabrez5675]

Thankyou....

[@FreddioSmith]

[@pjcampbell5923]

I must be a dumb ass I can’t get my roller to clip in

[@d2009wong]

🙏🙏👍👍

[@testimonies888]

So much for German engineering !! This has to be the dumbest design ever for a turbohead. You risk breaking the turbohead simply to clean out long hair wrapped around the roller. I have $90 stick vacuums with roller brushes that are better designed for easy removal of hair from the turbohead.

[@arigi14]

You clearly broke the clips off prying it open and don’t warn anyone not to do what you did. I can’t figure out how to disassemble without breaking them

[@parwaz7861]

Mine didn’t break, it clipped back together perfectly

[@charlesrodriguez7984]

Turbo brushes suck (no pun intended) electric brush bars are far better.
