Our ‘pretty old’ Miele vacuum cleaner (its model C3 not the one above but I don’t know how add a model to the lookup table above) ratchet that rewinds the power cable when you press the RHS ‘comfort’ button stopped working a few days ago in that it wouldn’t lock when you pulled yards of cable out, just kept rewinding it back in. I’d done a ‘work around’ with a piece of wood to stop it. Now yesterday it pulled out a short way and has locked altogether and is just stuck. Looked on YouTube and was amazed to see how big the plastic wheel is inside that controls the power cable rewind function. At 74 with Rheumatoid Arthritis I don’t think I’m capable of taking the hoover apart to try and fix and no doubt Miele will want the price of 2 new vacuum cleaners to repair it! Other than use a long extension lead and carry it round the house I can’t think of anything better - any ideas please?
