Miele WS5427 What’s all the extra tubes and wiring?

[leavemetogetonwithit]

😕 😕 a bit.
The problem with this old banger (well, it looks old anyway but the circuit diag is dated 2002) is simply the usual leaking pump plus a six inch (!) hole in the bottom fold of the door seal.
All that is on hold until the boss of the hotel returns next week to say yae or nae.
Whilst looking I noted a bunch of 12 wires and three clear plastic tubes entering at the back of the machine at the top. These were in addition to the mains cable which enters the cabinet at the base of the machine and the main water supply which comes in the usual way.
These wires were stretched out by the positioning of the machine and their outer insulation conduit had broken away so if I do repair the machine I’ll have all that to sort out too. They, and the three clear tubes which went to various parts of the soap dispenser, disappeared into a 3″ rectangular section of trunking in the wall behind. Seeing as even a pattern pump for these is looking like £50 now, they may decide to go for a replacement but just in case they do think it worth investing can someone tell me what all that gubbins is and whether I might be better just to pass it to someone else to sort out.
Mike.

Likely they are to bring in detergent.
Commercial or semi commercial appliances will sometimes have the facility to be operated by coin mechanisms as
in a laundry for instance & to take liquid detergent from a bulk container mounted near the appliance.
