My Miele S5211 vacuum has started making a whining noise but still vacuums at full stregth and has all speeds. How can I get it apart to look at the motor /impeller to see if anything is catching on it.
I have undone 5 T20 Torx screws and cannot see anthing else to undo?

prise off the grey piece of trim between the two foot switches. You will find another two torx screws under there. This will allow you to take off the top section.
