Hi there,
Looking for the benefit of your collective experience please!
My much treasured S5211 blew its motor (742/84-42/2) and I looked for a replacement without success......
From here, I take the much coveted "Dick of the Day" award, so bear with me please.......
I decided to take a punt on another Miele motor, identical externally, but a different reference number (720-42/2). Cos they're all the same aren't they???? Of course they're not!
I wasn't bothered if it wasn't rated to the full 2200W, it just needed to work.....
What I didn't bother to check was the pin out of the connector on the motors..... In my rush to see if it worked, I plugged it in and turned it on. The motor briefly started and then a bang and flash from the controller board and.... silence.....
The only damage I can find is a blown surface mount component on the back of the board. That's a shame, because if it was one of the larger discrete components, I would have been confident of repairing it.
My limited knowledge of single phase motors has them having three wires. One forming a "starting" circuit with a capacitor, and the other being the "running" circuit.
Why does the existing motor have 4 spade connections? Any ideas?
What's annoying is that had I bothered to examine the connectors and rejig the harness plug, it would probably have worked..... I think.......
So, my plan, if the right motor doesn't become available at the right price, is to get a new controller.... re-jig the harness plug.... and try again.....
What do you think??
Take the mick if you like.... It is Friday the 13th!
