The Fix !!! By way of an update. Replacing the main controller P.C.B . (Located in the top right hand corner of the machine). Nothing else was changed. The machine now works perfectly. New control P.C.B "EFL180" Part Number 05728075. The board was a reconditioned unit I purchased...

Hi all, many thanks for your prompt and helpful replies. The shed is non domestic, so it appears I can use plastic (which also will not rust over time) I will also take a look at the MK Sentry range as suggested by Ken. Thanks, Martin.

Hi, I have a problem with condensation in a shed where I keep cattle. In winter condensation can form on electrical fittings such as lights and switches etc and cause the RCD to trip. Can anyone recommend a good quality supplier of consumer units that are moisture / condensation proof ? I have...

The existing supply has a 60 amp metal clad switched fuse at either end of the existing armoured cable and was already in place when I took on the place. One benefit is that the armoured cable gets anchoured to a strong metal clad box and provides terminals for the earth bonding at both ends. I...

We have a large flat that was split into two dwellings 3-4 years ago. Both dwellings had the wiring seperated and hence 2 new consumer units installed. The tails for both dwellings remained fed by the existing meter / mains supply to the property. I have recently had an addition new meter...

Hi Alastair. thanks for your help. I will check these things out. Do you know what sensors the machine uses to determine the clothes are dry? How does this door sensor work? Thanks again.

Many thanks for the feedback and suggestions. I have checked the condensate soleniod resistance and was 3.7K Ohm and with lid off the machine I can hear / and feel water running in the condensate feed pipe at the start of the drying cycle. Both heating elemnets get power and generate heat. On...

Hi Richard, There was alot of lint located at the top of the condenser where the fan circulates, which I have cleaned out. I also checked the cowling aound the elements which was clear. Both heating elements are O.K as is the Thermal cutout. I cheked the temperature sensor on front of top...

Hi all you Meile experts out there. On drying cylce clothes come out nearly as damp as they are after a wash. clothes are barely warm. The dryer runs though the full cycle and does not report any faults. I am competent with repairing electrical appliances, but would appreciate anyone helping...

By way of an update. I fitted a new "TEMPERATURE PROBE (C.H.W) ariston Pt. No. 569236. ( As suggested by dcawkwell) There are 2 of these sensors on the diverter valve body assy. but it happened to be the first one I changed which was the one directly below the diverter valve motor assy. The...

Hi Gas Boiler experts, please let me have your thoughts on this fault. With boiler C.H control knob set to "0" the boiler fires up as soon as it is powered up. The radiators heat up very slowly, (I cannot hear the gas valve switching the solenoid for high gas flow rate) Gas flame height looks...

Hi Terry. The fault is not related to the primary combustion chamber. Whats your concern?

Hi, I just fixed this fault on my Micro-Genus 24 HE. The A77 fault is quite common on these boilers. Basically the boiler thinks that the sensor is open circuit (broken connection ) or short cicuit (Water across the 2 terminals in the recuperator). It is a safety device to check that the...
