Our Miele S716 has stopped working. It had run for a few seconds and
then the red light came on and it stopped.

I assumed the thermal cut-out was the cause but having left it overnight
it still refuses to run.

Anyone any ideas? Can the thermal cut-out remain 'stuck'?

TIA

Is the beater brush jammed (assuming it has one)?

Does the thermal cut out have a reset button?

Ignore my first suggestion as I have found that it is a cylinder machine

If it does, it's well hidden and not referred to in the manual.

Restricted airflow due to a blockage or clogged filter is a likely candidate
for the initial cut out.

TOL's in vacs don't last very long IME, a few trips and they are knackered.
Wire it out temporaly & see if it ru

I wouldn't ignore it - certain variants of the Cat'n'Dog have an
electrically powered whirling brushbar of death in the head! OP didn't say
whether theirs featured the "electrobrush" - but I'm with the thermal cutout
reset - which ISTR is inside the main body poss behind the bag chamber
filter panel...?

Cheers

The one in question has the 'air powered' head.

I've had a look all over the machine but can't see a cutout
switch/button to press anywhere. I've even taken the black control
switch/cable rewind panel off and had a look at the circuit board but
nothing there either apart from a micro-switch which goes open circuit
when pressed. The latter seems a little odd as it's located against a
piece of plastic which the micro-switch presses against when in place.
