After changing the bag in my Miele S8360 and closing the cover the blue filter (air filter) keeps blowing out of its spot thereby cutting the vacuum of the cleaner

Richo,53, we can not complain about the two Miele's that we have had, they have both been fantastic, so I would suggest that you take it back to where you got it from and if it is older then ring Miele and ask them what you might be doing wrong or is it something that you can do something about, otherwise take it into the shop that you got it from..

Hi Richo, without pictures its a littke awkward. But there are four filters in the pricess. 1. The bag which slides down into the blue plastic holder. It makes a soft click once its secured in place. 2. The soft white filter (that needs to be cut to correct size) that fits into the blue plastic holder behind the bag. 3. There is the larger soft white filter which, again, needs to be cut to the correct size and is placed under the HEPA Filter. 4. As mentioned, the HEPA filter. So I am going to assume you were speaking of No.2? So, if the size is slightly larger than it should be, then the plastic holder can/and does pop open. I'd re-visit checking the correct size. Then press closed till it clicks comfotably in place.

Hi Robin, it would be best to take the vacuum into your nearest Miele Experience Centre where the staff can assist you with the problem. You can find your nearest centre here: external link  . Kind regards, Anna.

How do I replace the dust bags in the S8360?

Pretty much the same as any other barrel vac cleaner. Press the button next to the hose outlet to open the bag cover. Pull the old bag out, put a new bag in, close the cover. Closing the cover requires some firm pressure initially.
