    That’s a pretty picture. Who are the four men in the middle dressed in the funny clothes?

    Check the wires at the heater terminals aren’t breaking inside the insulating sleeves [see my post on 21st May regarding model W133]. In my case the machine was dead but I got LEDs 3 and 4 flashing as well.

    Before you employ the trebuchet it’s worth checking that the wires to the heater aren’t partially broken off at the terminals inside the insulators where you can’t see them. See my post on the model W133SUK; different symptoms but you never know……. :rolls: .

    A trebuchet is a medieval siege engine, a weapon employed either to smash masonry walls or to throw projectiles over them. … 😀

    Re: Miele T5206 Dryer

    I’d check that the contactor is faulty first as they’re very expensive. £70 or so If I remember correctly. You can get one for about 12£ from RS Components to do the job but you have to lengthen the wiring and work out the connections using the wiring diagram ; they aren’t the same. The RS part no is 211-2436.

    Have you checked the fan blades and housing for fluff build-up? You say water is running through ok but the T5206 is a vented not a condenser machine if I remember correctly.
    You may find the tocs have been weakened by continual operation and need to be changed.

    Thanks Chris,
    I phoned EMW when I was on site but the guy I spoke to [not the usual guy] said they don’t do dishwasher boards. I suspected the lv transformer but there doesn’t seem to be one; There must be a different method of generating the low voltage.

    Hhmm….nice shorts. I must get a pair of those for the next meeting in the summer.

    Jim, Is it an Askoll pump? Are you sure the impeller is rotating and not just vibrating like they do sometimes?

    That’s a good idea; I never thought about them for a domestic machine but I’ll ring them in the morning. I only ever think about them for commercial stuff.

    that won’t wash; it’s about £60 cheaper at Comet than the trade price!
    Am trying DAD though; thanks for that.

    You don’t need a special tool; just clamp the spring to the seal in the 12 o’clock position with one of those big black plastic clamps to prevent it popping off, then you can work the rest of the spring round the seal easily. It only takes a few seconds.

    Chris.

    If you file the holes out in the lock won’t there be a problem with the screws not tightening up or the lock just finding its own seating in the aperture which may not be correct?
