Attach new torsion spring and bracket for miele s5211 vacum bag

There is a “bag dock” that is commonly thrown out with the old bag. Check the old bag or contact your local Miele dealer.

Torsion spring ? Take it to your local Miele dealer for assistance.

C3 suggests that maybe you have a Miele, not a Hoover. If you have a Miele C3 and the bag isn't connecting properly, you have most likely thrown the bag holder out with the bag. It is a common occurrence. Take it to your local vac shop so they can clean the motor and replace the bag holder and filters.

which vacuum?

Not sure what your asking.. Have you emptied the bag or tried replacing it with a new one?

Have you tried changing the bag.

Hi There I have made a video showing how to replace the bag holder it is not too hard to do.

Check to see that the bag mounting bracket and torsion spring are in place, the bracket will be either a dark graphite color like most of the vacuum or green. If you only have a protruding tube where you put the bag on, then your bag mount have come off and you should order a new one; very inexpensive and it comes with a new spring.

Sure thing, the best thing to do is to have a look at the manual I have found here for you. The part you are looking for is on page 25 of the manual, complete with pictures and everything.

Please make sure you rate my answer 4 thumbs up, it is extremely important to me. I would be forever grateful if you could do so. If you need more help on this question please just respond to my answer here and I will get right back to you.

Here is the manual:

http://www.miele.co.uk/Resources/OperatingInstructions/S%205211_5781.pdf

You've got a 7 year motor warranty. Take it back to your dealer and have the motor replaced, unless you've been running it without filters or you've been using generic bags, which would have voided your motor warranty.
This is actually very rare: I've only ever seen one miele motor break that wasn't water related or related to negligence.
