Just been to this machine purchased 1998. Rinse light is flashing, which I think is a motor / brush fault. Customer is probably going to replace, but would like to know how to access motor and brushes just in case. Not familiar with miele at all, pattern brushes not listed as being too expensive. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

This fault can either be worn brushes,or a relay and fuse need replacing on the board…i can repair the biard for you at trade price…
Access is from the front which opens from left to right like a door.
Take out the screws from around soap drawer housing
Remove bolts from around door seal
Open filter flap and unclip the small drain hose
Then at bottom left underneat the front is a small spung metal clip,just pull the front of machine away at this point,and complete front will swing out…
Brushes are removed by taking plugs off (there may be a cable tie holding them)
Then remive 2 screws securing the plastic shield.Then you remove all screws from the plastic plate you now see,which contains the brushes… Easy to remove but can be a bit fiddly to replace the plate back… One of the screws may have a brass collar which connects with a resistor on the other side of plate…be carefull not to lose it…
Any problems with the board,let me know

Also look at the rear of the casing for any signs that the pulley bolt has hit it,if it has then the shockers need replacing…easy job that can be done from the front of machine..pattern ones available from maddocks now @£15..
And pretty good too!Shockers goin are usually what stalls the
Motor and blows the components on the board…i am gettin loads of these in for the same fault,now they are of a certain age…Martin

Thank you very much. Very informative. Customer deciding what to do at the moment. At least I can go armed with a bit more knowledge now. That’s great. Roger.

Hi Rodger, look under Simple PCB repairs at top of this Forum.
MIELE EL200 D PCB
There are post in the forums about this, but thought it would be helpful here.
Fault after switching on a program, rinse light flashes indicating no spin/motor fault.
Find the small round reddish brown fuse, if o/c chances are orange relay contacts are
welded together. Change both and should be good to go. Cost of repair to board approx £8-10.
