You can probably tell I am a fan of Miele. We have 8 Miele appliances, 3 of which are around 23 years old, the others about 8. The quality of construction, even on the more recent machines, far exceeds any other brands I have seen or worked on

agree with you about miele
bought a used on with a fault of ebay 15 years ago and its still going

need new shocks so may fit them this weekend before it blows the fuse on the pcb

its a shame you have only got to look at old machines and see the ease some manufacturers made bearing access
the ones that spring to mind where the zanussi 929 & 626 ( I think) and old AEG which has a removable bearing spider so you could change bearing without tub removal provided shaft was ok
miele on the othere hand was a compete strip dowm. have never done one but it looked like a complete nightmare

does not seem to be anything in the tech about the problem

does seem to be some sort of sensor called Aqua tech attached to the motor board but dont know function

other bad news is the fault finding guide is not in English but your welcome to it if you want it

also for your info they changed the mother board and motor board so there are 2 different ones depending on serial

assume you have turned if off long enough so if its ice it will melt

Dave

at least the AEG has fault codes the Bosch is harder as all the light is telling you is its broken. A lot of Bosch machines have no pressure switches and rely on virtual sensors which makes things a lot harder

pressure sw problems are also a known problem on AEG / zanussi and some early ones needed modding for blocking up

have sent you some info but its still as clear as mud

might be different if i had complete PNC

Dave

[electrofix]

well if you want bearing kit its about £700 so wont make a lot of difference if the bearings fail.
just hoping they use a really good seal and not one for 50p from China

Dave

[electrofix]

well I hope the bearing and seal system is better than Hotpoint otherwise they will get scrapped after 5 years

Dave

[electrofix]

connect are showing both those in stock

suggest you do a part no enquiry with them too

Dave

have you tried getting a long cable tie and see how far it goes down

dont use anything metal as you dont want to damage the tube
