Sure.
Power off – Dial at off – Door closed..
Press and hold the start button while pressing the power button on.
The start button will flash rapidly……press start button quickly 3 times and hold for around 4 seconds..
This opens a new menu.
Pressing the start button quickly 5 times also opens another settings menu..
Secret information.:cool:Thank you Dave – You’re a genius..:rolleyes:
I was being dim.- not understanding what it was telling me.
I was just pressing ok in both cases..
I’ve just wired the drum to the plate on the rear of the door glass!
Hey Presto…..The low resistance test comes back …ok.
I would never have sussed it without your help.
Thank you very much.
I’m coming to know these machines quite well.:DYes – Irritating.
I’ve attaced some photos.
Excuse the first 2,…They’re from an old door I butchered.:confused:./
Now I have the B3-1 High resistance test reading ok….The machine seems to be functioning correctly. – Testing right now.
The B3-1 Low resistance test still reads fault.!!.
Hmm…..still trying to send photos.Thanks Dave.
The carbon brush runs off the drum spider spindle..Seems like the dryness is detected electrically on these machines.!
The dampness of the laundry is sensed by electricity flowing from a carbon brush at the rear, through the drum with laundry touching the metal plate on the door. The signal passes through the door latch.I now have the B3-1 High resistance test reading ok by tightening the nut that holds the wire to the metal plate at the back of the door glass.
The
B3-1 Low resistance test still reads fault..
I think I need the help of a Miele expert who knows these machines intimately……Please anyone?Update.
I’ve got into the Service menu:). …residual moisture sensor (B3–1).
When tested.
B3-1 High resistance…..reads most of the time fault – occasionally ok.:confused:
B3-1 Low resistance….reads always fault.:(..
I’ve tried changing the small carbon brush at the rear -no difference…
I’m stuck now on how to proceed – please help.Thanks Dave.
Not quite sure what you mean by “yours is a washer dryer so things are different”.The dampness of the laundry is sensed by electricity flowing from a carbon brush at the rear, through the drum with laundry touching the metal plate on the door. The signal passes through the door latch.. – this statement is exactly specific to my machine..
I’m afraid the wire is contained within the door so cannot break by opening and closing the door.
It runs from the metal plate on the back of the door glass to the door latch (hidden by plastic) – the door interlock picks up a reading (I’ve tried changing this)I found this.

Does anone know if the carbon brush at the rear is likely to wear out or is the solution likely elsewhere?
ThanksAh…Not so complicated..It seems to be the other microswitch – The one that’s activated by the float when the water level is high enough.
I’ll confirm when the part arrives….Thanks all.Ok…Thank you Dave,
Mine is actually switching on and off every few seconds..it does continue with the cycle for the few seconds it is on.
How did you identify the exact faulty chip?
thanksRe: Electrolux EWX14540W ERROR CODE ed4
ok thanks..i’ll try and sort something out..i’ll let you know..thank you for your help…john
Re: Electrolux EWX14540W ERROR CODE ed4
hi martin…i’ve replaced the dryer element and it is behaving the same way….i’m now thinking i should totally disconnect the dryer side and use it as a washing machine only…at the moment , if i disconnect the dryer element the washing machine works fine up until the last 15 minutes when the dryer kicks in ( it shouldn’t…not set to dry after wash), even though there’s still water in the drum….any ideas….thanks…john
