Quick Summary
Restore brush roll operation in a compatible Miele powerhead with this genuine OEM replacement belt for the SEB 236 and SEB 228. A worn, stretched, or broken belt can prevent the brush roll from turning properly.
Confirm the model number on your powerhead before ordering. Ace Vacuums can help compare the reference on your existing powerhead with this replacement part.
- For Miele SEB 236 and SEB 228 powerheads
- Replacement drive belt for the revolving brush roll
- Reinforced cogged belt design referenced for the SEB 228 powerhead
- Helps restore brush roll rotation when the original belt is worn or broken
- Verify the powerhead model before installation
Product Overview
The powerhead belt connects the motor drive to the revolving brush roll. When the original belt stretches, slips, or breaks, the brush roll may turn slowly or stop, reducing the powerhead's ability to agitate carpet.
This replacement is identified for Miele SEB 236 and SEB 228 powerheads. The SEB 228 reference describes an enclosed, side-mounted belt with reinforced cogged construction, helping protect the drive from picked-up debris during normal use.
Before ordering, compare the model marking on your powerhead with the fitment listed here. Powerheads can look similar across a product family, so checking the reference is more reliable than matching by appearance alone.

Why Genuine OEM Parts Matter
Genuine Miele parts are built to Miele's own dimensions and specifications, so they fit and seal the way the machine was designed. Non-OEM alternatives can differ in fit, materials or filtration, which can affect performance and airflow.
Ace Vacuums offers genuine OEM Miele products with expert support.
Installation or Usage Notes
- Turn off and unplug the vacuum before working on the powerhead.
- Disconnect the powerhead from the wand or electric hose using the applicable release control.
- Follow the Miele operating or service instructions to access the brush roll and belt area.
- Remove the worn or broken belt and install the replacement according to the instructions, keeping the belt properly positioned on the motor drive and brush roll.
- Reassemble the powerhead and confirm that the brush roll turns freely before reconnecting it to the vacuum.
- Reconnect the powerhead, switch on the vacuum, and test brush roll operation briefly on a suitable surface.
Use the operating or service instructions for your specific Miele powerhead for the detailed belt-access procedure.
Product Comparisons
Powerhead belt vs. complete powerhead
This listing is for the drive belt only. A complete powerhead includes the motorized housing, brush roll, height adjustment, and other components, while a belt is intended to restore the drive connection when the existing powerhead is otherwise serviceable.
Electric powerhead vs. air-driven floor tool
The SEB 236 and SEB 228 are electrically driven powerheads with revolving brush rolls. An air-driven tool uses airflow rather than an electric powerhead drive, so its belt and fitment requirements are different.

Shipping, Return & Refund Policy
Shipping Policy
In-stock merchandise generally ships from our Leesburg, Virginia location within 3–5 business days. Processing time is separate from carrier transit time and is not a guaranteed delivery date. Weekends and holidays can affect timing. Special-order, backordered or unavailable items may take longer; contact us to confirm timing before purchase when a deadline matters.
Shipping options and charges are shown at checkout. After dispatch, follow the carrier's tracking updates. Weather, carrier delays, order verification and inventory confirmation may affect delivery. Inspect packages promptly and retain packaging if there is damage or an incorrect or missing item.
Returns and refunds
Eligible unused items have a 30-calendar-day return request window for refunds or exchanges, measured from delivery or in-store purchase. Return authorization is required. Final-sale exclusions, the 15% restocking fee for change-of-mind returns and shipping responsibilities are explained in our Return and Refund Policy. That policy is the governing source for return eligibility and fees.
For shipping or return help, email sales@acevacuums.com or call 703-997-9292.
30-Day Returns, Refunds and Exchanges
Updated September 27, 2026. Request a return for an eligible unused item within 30 calendar days of delivery (or purchase for items collected in store). Eligible returns may be refunded to the original payment method or exchanged, subject to availability. The same 30-day request window applies to both refunds and exchanges; there is no separate seven-day or 15-day refund deadline.
Eligibility and authorization
Items must be unused, clean, complete and in their original packaging with all accessories, manuals and proof of purchase. Contact sales@acevacuums.com or 703-997-9292 before sending anything back. Include your order number, item and reason for return. We will confirm eligibility, charges and return instructions. Unapproved or cash-on-delivery returns are not accepted.
Fees and shipping
For an approved change-of-mind return, a 15% restocking fee applies to the returned merchandise price. Original shipping charges are not refundable and the customer pays return shipping. These charges do not apply to an approved return caused by our shipping error or a damaged/defective item claim. Contact us first so we can arrange the appropriate remedy and shipping instructions. Do not assume a prepaid label is included.
Final-sale and excluded items
Air purifiers; discounted, clearance, trade-in, holiday-sale and price-matched purchases; gift cards; custom or special-order products; electrical parts; used or installed items; opened cleaning solutions; and used bags, filters, belts or other consumables are not eligible for change-of-mind returns. Other items clearly marked final sale at purchase are also excluded. An opened box alone does not disqualify an otherwise eligible unused, complete item, but consumables and cleaning solutions must remain unopened.
Damaged, defective, incorrect or missing items; recalls
Inspect your order promptly and contact us as soon as you discover a problem, with your order number and photos where helpful. Keep the packaging. Change-of-mind exclusions and deadlines do not remove applicable defect, warranty, recall or statutory rights. Warranty coverage requires evaluation under the manufacturer's terms; dealer status does not guarantee free repair. Recalled products must follow the manufacturer's recall process.
Refund timing and exchanges
After we receive and inspect the return, we will notify you of approval or the reason it cannot be accepted. Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method within 10 business days of approval; your bank may take additional time to post them. Contact us if more than 15 business days have passed since approval. Exchanges require authorization and replacement availability; any price difference and applicable charges will be explained before processing.
Applicable rights and earlier purchases
This policy applies to online and in-store purchases. We will honor more favorable written return terms provided with an earlier purchase. Applicable consumer rights remain unaffected. Where the European Union 14-day cancellation right applies, customers may cancel or return eligible orders within 14 days of receipt, subject to applicable legal exceptions, without giving a reason.
