I'd have to know A LOT more about the machine if I was going to theorize why the speed switch isn't working. I am assuming the motor runs though? Is it possible the motor you have is a single speed? Or perhaps it's connected wrong? ie low speed is connected to high and high to low, that might make it *seem* like it's running on high all the time. You mentioned a control unit. If the speeds are controlled by a computer type thing, it's entirely possible that unit is not getting enough voltage, because it might be trying to convert 220v (that doesn't exist) down to whatever low voltage the computer needs.

I am not sure why you didn't just buy a power voltage converter? No need to tear the vacuum apart and fiddle around with motor swaps and trying to make a 220V vacuum 120V by buying one piece at a time.
Just plug the vacuum in and go. You need the biggest one because the Miele is a powerful machine (you multiply the max wattage of the vacuum by 2 and then round up to the nearest size). It's $175 but you can get dent and ding units from Amazon's warehouse for a mere $79. www.amazon.com/Simran-AC-... | ||
