I have an 8 year old Jazz upright that lately sounds a little louder and smells like it's overheating. There are no apparent clogs, I just installed a brand new bag and HEPA filter. The old HEPA was gray which was unusual. All the previous filters looked brand new when they were replaced. I'm the original owner and have only ever used genuine Miele bags and filters. The inside of the vacuum looks immaculate so there were no leaking or sealing issues with the previous bags.
Is it possible the carbon brushes or the motor is going? 8 years seems kind of young for a Miele vacuum to die. Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
I only use it once every few weeks as I've been primarily using my Dyson cordless.
