miele w844

Fills then rinse light flashes and machine empties.
Rinse light flashes on all cycles..looks like it may be the module side of the main prog board..no motor turn at all..motor appears ok though.
Any ideas?….
I suspect it is the main board but due to cost would like to know if anyone else has had a similar fault.
Many thanks in advance.

Re: miele w844

rinses light flashing on miele’s usually indicates drive fault must recieve signal back from tacho within 1.5s or it starts to flash! double check motor probably carbons

Re: miele w844

Thanks for your input Phil, I thought it was linked to motor as manually spinning the drum stops the lights flashing…I have a few spare motors and have tried them along with checking the brushes which just about confirms the module board faulty..QER £49..unless you know of a better source….

Re: miele w844

Likely motor brushes worn away?
Did you take end off motor & check them?
This can be done without removing the motor.
I’ve come across faulty boards but i’d check brushes & cable loom motor plug first

Re: miele w844

Finally found time to go back to the Miele..motor is defenitely ok along with the motor plugs and loom..buzzed each one through!
Looks like i`m back to the EL200-D module board….anyone got any good sources of repair or replacement?..Miele quote silly money.
Thanks
