Do you sell power cords for this model. How much and can I get instructions to replace the power cord. Local repairman wants $280 for service and says he's 90% sure the problem is the power cord
Do you mean S5380?
Phone local vacuum repairers and ask for estimates. The power cord is only fairly cheap. I would have thought that even with expensive labour it should cost less than 100$. He's probably trying to cover himself in case its something else. Have you contacted Miele? it is worth asking for a price if they'll give you one
Miele Inc Anything Else is Compromise
As far as replacing the cord yourself, it's not as simple as just connecting it, i think it has to be put on a tensioned drum.
Heres some more info

Hi Fred Pevow, I want to help you with your problem, but I need more information from you. I couldn't find a Miele model S5830. Do you have the correct brand and model number? If so, how old is the unit. In the mean time, you can try here for Miele parts: http://www.vacuumcleanermarket.com/miele-vacuums/miele-parts-accessories-tools-attachments/miele-vacuum-hose-wands/

I had the same problem and could not find the other screws. You need to pry off the power cord retraction button, you will find two more screws under there. It's pretty easy after that!!!!

Pull the cord all the way out and see if it's contaminated with anything sticky. Also check the guide rollers that the cord rides in and see if they are rolling smoothly and without resistance - they may also need cleaning. If so, clean it off and try again.
If not, it may be the spring reel itself in which case you may need to replace it.

sounds like the spring is either over stretched or broken. you may have to have the spring replaced

It is pretty tough to fix a retractor. Maybe hook direct and wind up the cord manual like uprights.

1 screw in the front, two in the blower port. take them out and the top bezel comes off. one screw in the bottom and two on the top. need a flat blade screw driver to pry out the cord reel. 4 screws holds the sheild of the reel. take them out and there is a snap ring that hold the reel on the shaft. the reel assembly and drum spring comes out at the same time. 3 screws on the bottom of the reel holding a metal plate and there is also snap ring hold the spring on the metal plate take that off and will expose the cord connection. unhook the the cord and untie the knot and replace the cord and reverse the process
