Miele C3 vacuum cleaner cable reel / spool repair ( zero dollar solution )

My Miele C3 vacuum cleaner had an issue with the cable reel. The problem was that the cable stop didn’t work and that the cable kept spooling into the cleaner in stead of locking in position.
The problem was caused by a broken leaf spring in the locking and release mechanism.
The solution I’ve chosen and show in this video is to completely remove the latch that regulates the locking and releasing the reel. Result is that you have to keep the button pressed to fully spool the cable. Good news is: it works, you don’t have to buy a new cable reel and the mechanism won't break in the future :)
To see how to disassemble the Miele C3 in order to get to the reel/spool is excellently shown in a video of Steve ‪@madabouthoovers9767‬

This is absolute genius. Thank you so much. I had lived with our Miele after that tiny and brittle little part had broken after a couple of years of use. I finally decided to take it all apart, assuming I’d have to waste 30 pounds or euros on a full flex reel replacement. Thank you thank you!

You are a legend...saved me so much money and frustration...I did chuckle when I was replicating and had the spring in my hand and you then threw away....before this I was thinking it would be a bugger getting this plastic part back in

@PeteMGTF 9 месяцев назад

Yes! Glad to make you smile :) But jah... getting that piece of plastic back in would have been a bugger! Good think we could loose it :)

Hello Dutch Pete, great video! Exactly my problem with the vacuum cleaner. The cable stop didn't work, but in my case the leaf spring was fine. I removed the leaf spring part as in the video. Everything works again! Thanks very much! Boris

@madmission Год назад

I feel like I owe you a beer Pete, this worked like a charm. However did you work out that removing that part would make the reel work again? As someone has said below, the leaf spring in my Miele was intact but it still didn't work properly. You are an absolute diamond sharing this with the world sir... thank you

@PeteMGTF Год назад

Funny that you mention it, because I did fiddle about with the thing first and when I found out this piece of plastic / spring was causing the problem and actually not being crucial at all… I thought about filming it as it might help some other people saving the money for a new spool thing. Glad it helped you and once I’m over in the UK we’ll catch up on that beer and some live music 👍🏼😀👍🏼

Reparation du dérouleur Miele C3. Fonctionne bien. On doit garder le pied sur la pedale du dérouleur pour que le fil s'enroule, mais c'est un peu comme sur un ancien aspirateur. Super Grand merci. DutchPete.

@time2goaway 3 месяца назад

thanks for this solution! What was the designer’s intended function of this - now removed - part?

@PeteMGTF 3 месяца назад

Welcome Time! The intend of this piece (the latch) was so you’d only have to push the reel button only once and the cord would spool fully. That why the spool button says something like “Comfort”. With the latch removed you have to keep the button pressed until the cord is spooled fully. A bit like the mechanism in a ball pen … Hope this helps 👍🏼

@dubmob151 5 дней назад

Does allowing the cord to auto retract and slam into the stop at the end cause the stress in the part that makes it fail prematurely? I have one Miele that's failed, and one that's still working; wondering how I can forestall the failure of this failure prone design on the one that's working. The only thing I can figure is to hold the cord at the end and slow down the retraction, the way I would do with a retractable tape measure.

@SuperFender1964 Год назад

same problem, as i like to tinker erm what is going wrong with the leaf spring itself, not enough bend in it, such a simple little part, what is wrong with that part so as not to do it's job, i bought a c3 with a bust motor, the triac thyristor (thats a thermal cutout fuse) was shot, replaced it for $6.00 motor works like new now, but the leaf spring is interesting..

Devil is in the details... like in a tiny leafspring :)

@ronachadwick7908 3 месяца назад

@PeteMGTF 3 месяца назад

Hi, does your vacuum cleaner have the problem that it keeps winding the mains cord?

@dangleberries77 5 месяцев назад

Anyone know how to get the tension back in the reel? i cant get the cord to retract?

@christhompson9140 Год назад

Whats that part suppose to do? I pulled mine out as shown and it seems to work the same.

@PeteMGTF Год назад

Hey Chris! The part is meant to enable the "Comfort" function as it says on the spool button. The comfortable aspect is that you only have to push the button once to spool the full length of the mains cable. When you take out this part (the latch), it will no longer spool automatically but you have to keep the button pressed to spool the full mains cable. Hope this helps.

@christhompson9140 Год назад

@PeteMGTF thanks. I realized that later. Not a deal breaker seeing as it is more important to have the cord stay out and retract as needed.
