Is this fixable?

[jel11633]

It's a Miele, I think under 20 years old but not sure. The foot adjuster broke off, so I would just sort of adjust it by force, which was not smart because now the front part will not stay flush to the ground.

Just curious what a wild guess would be on the cost to repair this, I understand it may make sense just to buy a new one. Thank you for any suggestions.

Everything is fixable to those that are not lazy.

You likely have it stuck in the raised position. I have that same vacuum, it's the Miele Salsa, but I do not have it handy to check. It's only 10 years old. Parts are common but expensive. Cost me $90 for a new sole-plate and another $15 for all the assembly screws for the entire vacuum.

The following eBay link is likely the part you broke:

My advice would be to take it to your local Miele dealer and ask them. I worked on those uprights for 7 years and they are not worth taking apart if you don't know what you're doing. Factor the part at around $50 plus labor when a new upright of this caliper cost at least $700-1000. Miele also stopped production of uprights, so replacement would involve another brand such as Sebo.

Thank you for the feedback everyone, I will take it to the nearby miele dealer and see what they say.
