Vacuum Cleaner repair in New York

For premium brands like Miele, absolutely. These machines are engineered to last 15-20 years. A new premium canister vacuum costs $800–$1,500. Common repairs like replacing the motor brushes, cord reel, or switch are significantly cheaper than buying a new high-end unit, and they restore the machine’s original powerful suction.

Usually, the motor is fine. Loss of suction is most often caused by a clog in the hose/wand, a full bag, or dirty filters (HEPA/Pre-motor). It can also be a tear in the hose. We perform a pressure test to locate the blockage or leak and clear it to restore 100% airflow.

A burning smell typically indicates a jammed brush roll (melting the belt) or a motor strain. A dusty/musty smell means the filtration system is compromised or the bag was reused. We replace the belts, clean the brush roll housing, and install fresh HEPA filters to eliminate odors and allergens.

If the suction works but the brush doesn't spin, the issue is likely a snapped drive belt or a failure in the Electrobrush wand connection. On Miele and Sebo units, the electrical contacts in the wand can wear out. We test the continuity from the handle to the power head to pinpoint the break.

Yes. The cord reel mechanism uses a tension spring and a brake. If the spring snaps or the brake wears out, the cord becomes frustrating. We can disassemble the canister and replace the reel assembly or retension the spring so the cord snaps back in smoothly.
