My 9yo Miele W1712 has an F53 fault. Brushes still ok apparently. Miele tech said it needed a new Power Control Unit ($620+). Is this really what the F53 problem is? Miele's great product but....

help in the link. One article says it is a $1,000 repair and if that is the case, you call for service so you get the correct diagnosis and warranty.

First, unplug the washer for minutes then plug in and see if it solve the problem, if not then check the carbon brushes on the motor. These are a part which is expected to wear and when they do the motor cannot rotate the drum, which means the speed sensor thinks something is wrong and throws the error.good luck. Fixing an F53 on Miele washing machine

Hi dear,
Your machine does not have a replaceable fuse. If you are in AUS P/N:7790772 - Power-/Control unit EDPL 200-KD220-240Vse. I can advise to check part number with Miele, providing your machines serial number. I hope that helps. Thanks.

The F63 is an error when something is blocking in the water path. I would suggest to open the front access drain flap and check for any objects like pins, coins etc. remove them and this should clear the error.

i,

this is a tachogenerator fault or the drive motor brushes are faulty. you will need a Miele service tech or a Miele service agent to look at this.

Error code F53 on Miele is a speed sensor fault.
It has detected the drum speed to be wrong at some point and has indicated the problem to you.
Have you tried unplugging it. That will reset the computer.
If it's not coming up again after unplugging it, I'd not worry about it.
If it is coming up every time you use it, then you have either a faulty sensor, motor or pcb.
Miele are extremely secretive with information on their appliances and this makes it hard to diagnose accurately faults on them.

A call with the Miele tech helpdesk got me an answer: The tacho unit (coil) should have about 500 Ohm resistance, so they told me. My unit only had about 78 Ohm's, so I ordered a new brush unit (which includes the tacho). The new unit actually measures 250 Ohm, but since it was a new one I did fit it. It works like a charm again. No F53 fault code anymore.
The part no. is 6799642 - Module BSTV Mrt40 RK473. It cost me about 70 euro's including shipping. My machine is a type W3821, but the motor and brush unit with tacho is used on a variaty of models.
Cheers!
