I have a Miele vacuum and it was shorting out. the salesdude at the
shop said it was "motor mounts" and I need a new motor. Is that true?
I suspect that if I can buy the motor it would be pretty
straight-forward to put it in myself and probably cheaper. does
anyone have a clue as to where I can get one in the US or someplace
inexpensive to ship from?

what are "motor mounts" and if they're broken, shouldn't I be able to
just replace that?

Sounds to me like you are "Taking it in the Shorts" here!
Seriously, what the heck could motor mounts have to due with a short
circuit. I am assuming this thing blows the breakers when you turn it
on...right? If not, I think we call this an open circuit...in any event,
just take the thing to another dealer or better yet, buy a Dyson... Ross
