Adding a second comment - to try to get my first comment (currently inaccessible) to be listed inside my profile so that I can delete it. 1st comment not relevent now - use [email protected]

Our washing machine failed again today - but just a simple broken drive belt this time which was quickly and easily diagnosed. The cost? AUS$71 approx, which IMHO is outrageous for a drive belt when compared to some other machines (but not unexpected pricing from Miele). In the 10 months...

I cut away 6K1's plastic housing sufficiently to get a view of the epicentre of the fault :-) http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd257/harrykiri/EL200D6K1RelayContacts04.jpg http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd257/harrykiri/EL200D6K1RelayContacts02.jpg What a mess! I suspect that many...

6K1 is an "old style" (and simple) electronic component called a relay. It's the top LHS orange rectangular device in this pic: http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd257/harrykiri/MieleW828RelayBoard.jpg It's used to reverse the direction of rotation of the drum during the wash/rinse...

Up till now, I was imagining this fault had to be associated with us unthinkingly overloading the machine. Now, I doubt that was the case. The problem was finally located in 6K1 a few minutes ago, pretty unsophisticated, just a simple welded contact. Too easy :lol: Part now ordered...

The schematic is completed (Motor Control function only). Other functions are too obscured by components or the aluminium shield to draw properly. Sorry in advance if there are any errors (please let me know about it and I'll correct them). As this was all done in 1 am to 4 am timeslots, I...

The first partial schematic of the EL200D is now derived, limited to the switching and regulation of power to the DC Motor. It needs redrawing for a more readable layout I will do that when I get more time. I have no information on the overload device or the long solid black rectangular device...

Looks like the Oz Farnell operation needs a slightly?? higher markup ;-) The UK price of 3 pounds 61 pence does an extraordinary transformation when it goes onto the Farnell's Oz website! http://au.farnell.com/1214705/electrical-circuit-protection/product.us0?sku=schurter-0034-6623...

Hi all. Flapjack, I sympathise with your "no win" situation. Update: I'm suspicious on why they're replacing the "D" with a "C" board. Perhaps they've had a very high failure rate and/or a vital component can no longer be sourced by Miele. Hmm - perhaps the mod'd EL200 D is already...

Hi Incognito, no doubt about it, the component which I took for a capacitor was a fuse. I've never come across PC board fuses like that before, hope Farnell stocks 'em. Yes, it's blown. Thanks for drawing my attention to it!!! I don't have any slo blo fuses of suitable value, will have to...

The boards pictured on Ebay still show 2K1 soldered in place. That relay is removed and bridged on our EL200 D. I'm sure there is no fuse mounted anywhere on our board ... edit: wrong!!! ... Can't identify a couple of VOGT devices, (a German company) their catalog doesn't have anything...

Hi Beano, Sorry for the delay. Times been an issue, but have a spare machine in mums granny flat!! So put on back burner til now. Asked for comment from Miele agents and also sell me a Workshop Manual. Needless to say, it seems "it isn't available in English, do you speak German?"...

Hey Beano1939, No joy yet, but here's an update. Currently, when water initially enters the drum and reaches normal level, the rinse light flashes immediately. The drum does not alternate direction in a wash action before the rinse light starts to flash. I could have sworn that when I...

Hey beano1939, Our W828 now has the same problem. For what it is worth, I can offer the following so far ... By altering settings on the panel, I found the fault sequence switching and timing on a cold wash is different to hot, it seems to branch to a different routine - flashs the...
