No Halogen Lamp function is often the lamp sockets. I have had all 4 fail, not at same time--but within a few weeks of each other--That was in a woodburner style too, but not the cassington.. In some cases, the woodburner style can become damp inside--especially if a few lamps are already not...

Unfortunately, Your type mister is the sealed/potted variety that cannot be repaired. You can buy a generic mist-maker/fogger for reptiles to replace your mister with, cost about £15, just measure the size of yours first, get one much the same to fit.... Bit like this thing--...

Ha! gotcha! It'll be the driver itself, the transistor goes short. Depends on which type you have, orange water-tank, (mister is not repairable, sealed potted thing) Or Blue tank, that is repairable, (TDK mist-maker board running 2.3MHz) On that board there's a shunt boost inverter from 12 to...

Hmm--Sordids, Is that you from badcaps....?

In addition to brushes, you need to change the two 0.01uF X Rated caps in the brush carrier. These reduce arcing and wear of the brushes. Miele Motors are built like battleships, rarely give trouble, but the motor-Controllers and brushes/caps do.

Yes--Those bulbs do get bloody hot! --This can cause other issues like the sockets to burn out. On mine--Ive used 35W lamps instead of the original 50W, the sockets may last a little longer and power cons. is reduced a little. --Downside is it takes a few minutes more for the smoke effect to...

Alison-- You probably have a crack in your sump--all too common as the plastic they are made of--is utter crap! It can be repaired with epoxy but must be perfectly dry and the crack located with reasonable accuracy first.... Davsor-- The Halogen lamps use around 200-250W of power and add on...

You'll need to check the supply to the mist-maker while its connected and turn fire on--see what happens to the supply voltage, I suspect it collapses due to faulty PSU...

You'll find in the rear of the fire, a 12V LED DC power-supply of 30W rating. This supplies the electronic control-board, log LEDs and mister. It'll have gone faulty. replace it--Cost around a tenner.

I'm not familiar with the type that uses Orange water-tank--but there Will be a fan somewhere...

Your fan has failed or has tight/dry bearings....

Might sound a stupid question--You did refill the water-tank and also connected the plug into the side of the sump correctly...? Unplug and refit just to confirm its OK. It has been known for the water level sensor to fail in the grey type. Check that the ring shaped white disc under the red...

After-Sales--In common with most electrical Co's,-- from Dimplex these days is awful to appalling. They really couldn't care less. Once its out of that warranty, they'll charge you just exactly what they like, just the way things have gone in recent years. Its only ever gonna get...

Only one can really be recommend--Miele. All the rest are basically Crap and will only last you couple of years....

About 4-5 years old then.....

Out of curiosity, How old/what make/model machine do you have?

Hmm-- By profession, I'm an electronics engineer. I certainly Wouldn't be offering to mod Anybody's machine for free--Or otherwise--Or for that matter do any repairs to any washer--save attempts to my own and those of close family! As to 20 deg C washes--May remove sweat--But it Doesn't kill...

Well--Odd question..... Purely a method of increasing water-level in Electronically monitored machines, --seeing this is a discussion-forum. I am surprised however by the Negative attitude to the question, no help or ideas--only negative non-issues like flooding or burning me house down have...

TBH--The new brushes themselves will probably clean up the com to a certain extent. The issue really is, when the brush loses tension at the end of its life, arcing will cause pitting of the copper segments--small but it leaves the com surface a little rough.... Suggest, run the machine for...

Right. Water-levels have been an issue for many years--Believe it or not. There's Huge amount of people (Anecdotal granted) that claim newer washers Dont clean as well as Older. --Even Loads of videos on youtube describing How to adjust pressure-switches for water level increase..... Now--Who...
