Aargh!! Same bloody problem as last time! Parts on order, have ordered enough to do it a third time if missus cocks up again! All the best zipper, thanks for your continued assistance. henpecked1

Ah, no - it is flashing. Will get to work...

Sorry, wasn't clear, the rinse light is solid, not flashing.

Hi Zipper, I don't know if you're up for another challenge, but the bloody machine has died again!! When the machine is started, it works fine for a while but then it stops and the Rinse light comes on. Do you know what causes this please? Regards Henpecked1

Hi zipper Just posting to say the parts arrived today, fitted them and m/c now works like a dream! Also, earned multiple brownie points for fixing it at little cost, so a complete result! Thank you for coaching me through the process. It's been good fun, tho' I hope it won't repeat for a...

Maplins don't stock them and RS had a couple of relays with the same reference number. I decided to go with Farnell and get a new soldering iron. It's something I will use only occasionally, but my existing one is way past its best, so I'm quite happy to get a new one. I didn't know about...

Hi zipper - a further question please: Turns out I need a min order amount of £20 so I will get a new soldering iron to replace my old and knackered one. What would be best for sorting the Miele pcb?

Thanks for the link. I will get the anti-surge fuse because I can buy one whereas the ordinary fuse has a min order of 10. Congratulations to you for remote fault-finding!

Ah, problem...which fuse? Farnell have, for example, part numbers 1716625 and 1716626. Both are Littelfuse, 6.3a fuses, one has a data sheet, the other hasn't and they are slightly different prices. And that doesn't include the time delay ones. The relay is no problem, the Schrack number...

You are quite right! The relay has shorted and looks a mess inside. Will order replacement parts and try to find someone with soldering skills to put them in for me. Will let you know how it goes. Huge thanks for your help on this.

Appreciate your time on this. Can't see 6k1 anywhere on the bottom right orange box, I guess that is a Miele part number? - it has Schrack, Austria, RT424012, 10A/250V AC, 12V-DC 8A/250V etc. Will open it up.

Ok...I've found the fuse, if it's the brown cylindrical component about 6-7mm high and wide with 6.3a250v on it. There is no reading on the multimeter from the two soldered connection points under the board.

I have ended up removing the whole front panel. There are two pcbs; I have attached photos. Can you tell me where the radial fuse is please?

Where is the pcb please?

I have read the forums thread, beano1939 said on 5 April 2008 that "If the printing on them RK473 is visible, then they are worn as this is at the top end." The writing was visible on my brushes, but I rang a local shop that supplies spare bits for washing m/cs and they said brushes aren't...

The drum turns ok and the drive belt is in place. The motor wires and plugs looked ok when I took them off. I'm not able to meter the motor tho' - don't know enough! Looks like a visit from Miele is called for - time to start saving! Thanks for your help zipper - much appreciated.

Thanks again zipper. The brushes were fine, I cleaned the commutator and reassembled. Unsurprisingly, no change - Rinse light still flashing. Is there anything else to check, which is relatively simple?

Thanks Zipper, very helpful. I have taken off some of the plastic bits around the motor but I'm not clear how to get the brushes out. I have attached a pic of what it looks like. Can you tell me what I need to do next please? Regards Henpecked1
