Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my Miele Turbo brush keep stopping?

The Miele Turbo brush uses an airflow-driven turbine. If the vacuum airflow drops due to a full bag or clogged filter, the brush slows or stops. Replace the bag and clean the filters.

My Miele brush roller spins but leaves lines on carpet — why?

A brush roller with worn bristles or a missing strip will leave marks. If the roller looks matted or uneven, replace it.

How do I reset the Miele Turbo brush?

After clearing the tangle, press the small red reset button on the side of the floorhead. Without pressing the reset, the overload protection keeps the brush locked even after clearing.
