Re: Beko machine with Invensys timer board
Well thats not exactly what I’m trying to do :-). I do realise that things have moved on a bit.. I’m well aware of the way machines work nowadays – badly IMHO. Yes I would have got a miele or bosch but would have had to go to a lot of hassle here in Ireland to get the right machine – they’re quite sparsely distributed. and i didnt consider the guarantee on a cheap machine important either – if it goes wrong or falls to bits i can sort it myself. I know invensys make a lot of control boards as do AKO etc.. all i really want to know is if there is any way of programming / setting them up.
IMO a hot fill would be useful in my case – it can actually make a difference when its implemented correctly.
cheap and cheerful Beko may be, but I have always considered their other electronic stuff quite good, i.e. well designed and reasonably reliable (I’m a TV repairman btw) so i thought i’d give it a try.

Re: Miele G646SC plus filling/drain problem
Ok, I’m not going to try and fix it (even though i do part time appliance repairs), I’m just curious as to the problem here.
I have checked the pump, non return valve and drain pipe, and all seem ok. i did notice though that it seems to work ok on the prewash, and it filled to what looked like a correct level, but when i put it on a wash, it filled to the same level, but on later inspection there was more water in it. Maybe the inlet valve is passing ?.
If the pressure switch is used as a safety switch in these, what happens if it actuates ?. Why is the timing of the drain pump so short ?
Anyway, talking about miele service, this machine was looked at before for what looked like a leak which was tripping the float switch. I diagnosed it, they hauled it off, couldnt find anything and left it back, where it worked up until now. When i had a look this time, the float switch was just left hanging above some wires to keep it off the bottom tray. effectively disabled !!. that would be nice if it actually flooded..
