I think that is the full model number, although the last nine digits appear to be relevant for parts etc.
p.s. could anyone recommend a decent product to protect such pipework, other than pvc/insulation tape?
I did test the wash heater for insulation and continuity, but will visually inspect later today.
Thanks,

Many thanks Dave,
I did wonder about a possible heater fault, and tested the wash heater for continuity and insulation, which are fine.
I did briefly run a drying cycle, and the dryer heater appears fine, but didn’t test it.
Thanks again,jonty
Looking at the parts diagram, I see that there is a “concertina hose” Part No: 5706041 which I imagine is a breather hose, and may be clogged?
jontyp.s. the only switch that I can see in that area is a pressure switch ( Part No: 6996821) connected to the circulation pump (12134000) and the Miele Parts Advisor was of little help/didn’t have any idea where this part was located…
And I’m not entirely sure where the sparking was coming from before… probably the switch, which is definitely faulty, so why didn’t it run when bypassed…
Thanks again Dave,
Yes, it could purely be the faulty on/off switch, although the vacuum did not power up when I bypassed the switch…
jontyThanks again Dave,
Having taken another look at the above Sebo vacuum, I managed to get it to run very briefly by “twisting the flex” where it enters the handle.
However, I noticed sparking from the above area internally, and quickly disconnected the plug.
Having electrically tested the rocker on/off switch, it is faulty… so I bypassed it ( flex live and neutral to harness into handle live and neutral) and the machine didn’t power up.
I remain perplexed as to the purpose of the rectifier/diode, (or whatever it is!) which is joined to the live wire terminal (to on/ff switch) which then enters the handle…
The above part is broken, so I wonder if it needs to be replaced in order for the machine to work?
jontyThank you once again for your help!
I can post some photos of the switch etc, with some difficulty…
You are quite right – the component you mentioned touches the metal handle, and may well be for static build up.
Anyway, the vacuum does power up when twisting the above (broken wire) and I’m trying to ascertain what I need to do to resolve, as I’m not a Sebo/vacuum specialist… perhaps I should try and repair said wire, if possible?
Thanks again,jonty
