The brush has stopped working and the hazard light has come on.

I have a miele s316i (cat & Dog) model and the beater brush has stopped working and the orange hazard light on the beater brush housing. does that indicate the motor has gone bad or some other problem? I've taken the housing apart, cleaned, checked connections, verified parts are free moving.

    Hi Dano, if the brushroll isn't turning, it could well be the drive belt is damaged or broken. If you take the tool apart you should be able to get a closer and see if there's a problem. I'd also check for blockages in the hoses and ducting. If there's a burning smell, it'd be your motor. Hope this helps!
