Miele S7260 - Access motor

[iwaters]

Does anyone know how to access the motor in a Miele Cat and Dog upright?

The bag holder got lost and the bag came off in the housing, all the dust ended up getting past the pre-motor filter and know the motor sounds like it is struggling.

Its still under warranty but it is user error I guess.

If I recall correctly you have to remove the buttons for ON/OFF and cord retracting and there are then screws revealed. Other screws are hidden by the hinged lid for tool storage.
