Blue Vacuum Ring: can someone help me?

The stretchy silicone ring goes on the bottom of the cream-colored cap. Hook the flat part of the ring against the bottom most groove, then run your finger (between the ring and groove) along the rim to get the ring hooking back into.

Hi! I recently experienced a similar problem! I had removed all the filters (there are three removable ones - two foam and one white paper), washed them all, cleaned everything off the beater bar/roller, shook out the tube/hose, even unscrewed the bottom and cleaned out whatever I could find there too! Still, as soon as I turned it on, it was going to red! Grrrrrr I FINALLY found the problem. You might have already checked this, but just in case, sharing it here. It might help you or someone else. When looking at back of the vacuum, on the right side, BEHIND the main tube/hose, you can see the tube attach to the black vacuum base which feeds into the clear body where the dirt goes in. I could not see any clogs anywhere. BUT - this part of the tube/hose COMES OFF - it is easy to overlook, but it twists and releases. I did that as a last resort, and found my problem! There was a piece of paper in there, and all kinds of dirt and hair (we all shed some and have two cats) were packed pretty solid behind the paper! It took a tool like a crochet hook to get it all out and unpacked! (I have a metal "tube turner" for sewing, which is what I used, but anything super thin and long can work, as long as you do not go THROUGH the hose.) I took an amazing amount of junk that had not come out when shaking the hose, cleaning things, even taking the rest of the vacuum apart... it hides in that last curve of the hose! I hope this helps someone else, because this is a great little powerhouse of the vacuum that is perfect for our little townhouse. But the clogging does happen sometimes, and I've now found the FIRST place I'll look, instead of the dead last! ;-)

Grasp the blue ring (close to scrubber part). Turn the largest black ring (third from scrubber part) to the left. This will loosen the pole--extend to length desired, then tighten the black ring. I hope this helps.

If everything is connected properly and still not working I'd send it back or replace part not working through the warranty which is for a year. A piece broke on mine, twice, and the local vacuum store replaced it. It was very easy. Usually seller will pay for return ship and even arrange pick up on a defective item.

There should b a model# on the vacuum. Look on back or underside. Then you know what Miele bags correspond or call Miele

See what happens when you disconnect the vacuum lined, if it returns you have a problem in the vacuum line or where it connects. Try blowing thru the line & see what happens..

A hand-held vacuum with round head hose would work. I use Eureka EasyClean Corded Hand-Held Vacuum, 71B. (Amazon $37.99)

Tucson Mom&gt;&gt;The kit is intended to hook up to a standard vacuum cleaner. There are two BIG pieces. One had a big hole in each end. The other had a big hole in one end, and a small hole in the other end. You hose has a fitting on one end, and plain tube on the other. OK, with that: 1. Press one end of the BIG HOLE BOTH ENDS piece to the Vacuum cleaner hose (press fit). 2. Press the BIG HOLE-LITTLE hole piece into the part you just connected to the vacuum cleaner. That leaves the "little" hole end unattached. 3. Take the "plain tube, no fitting" end of the hose, and press it over the ribs on the "little end" of the BIG PIECE you just connected to the other big piece. 4. Now, any of the micro attachments should plug into the FITTING END of the hose. It appears that there are 4 selections to attached to the fitting end. Hope this helps...Good Luck. Robert in TN

The red "on" switch has to be held up the entire time the vacuum services are required. Once released, the vacuum does not continue functioning. I've checked the instruction pamphlet several times but am unable to find anything to the contrary.

Gary, you don't need any tool to remove it from de the main vacuum. Just watch how it is grabbed, and try to take it out with your hands. That's the only way to fix it.

Mine stopped as well, it was the on/off switch...I called Eureka and they gave me a list of warranty vacuum shops to choose from. Was in shop for 3 days and he mentioned it was one screw to get to part that broke so if it happens after warranty I know my husband can repair it.

Hi, my vacuum is a model sc679 type j-2, amps 5.0 I found a number you may call and ask before you make your purchase 1-800-800-8975.I would suggest give them a call and order here on amazon as the price is fabulous. Have a wonderful day Michael.

The hose on mine became so impacted with carpet fuzz that I had to cut a coat hanger and bend a small hook on one end use it to fish the debree out of the hose, but be careful, as a wire runs through there as well and I could easily see a novice "coat hanger fisherman" breaking the electrical wire that runs down to the head. If you need to open the head, there are four screws on the bottom. Before doing all that, make sure that the dust bin and filter are clear, there is one small passage in the bin that was also impacted, and I had to use a screw driver to dig it out. This is a very quite and efficient vacuum, but emptying the dust bin and cleaning the filter is very messy business. If I ever need a new vacuum, I think I shall go back to using bags. Good Luck: Mike

I assumed this would work with my central vac, but after I purchased it, I had to return it. It's best to contact the company. They work very well with their customers. I finally ended up with exactly what I needed. Here's their contact info: Allegro Central Vacuum Systems 1338 Speers Road, Oakville, Ontario L6L 5V3 Canada; Phone (905) 825-3995; Fax 1 (866) 941-7089 www.allegrovacuums.com

The hose has a metal ring around each end. Upon insertion the ring makes contact with 2 buttons inside the central vacuum wall outlet completing a circuit and turning on the central vacuum.
