Miele W489 I WPS Washing MAchine Spin as soon as switched on

[Twoten]

I have received a call on the above Miele.

When the on button is pressed the machine bursts into spin for a couple of seconds then the rinse light flashes. It doesn’t matter if a wash is selected or not and the start button is not pressed.

Does anyone confirm if this is likely to be the PCB throwing the machine straight into spin.

Thanks.

I would check motor and tacho first. Rinse light usually means no signal from tacho.

I thought the rinse light only shows up a fault when the motor attempts to turn during the cycle. Why would it kick into a spin when first powered up? If the tacho was O/C would the motor run before a program is set?

Sorry didn’t realise it was as soon as it is powered up, in the case I would look towards the board.
