Hi, Richard. I tried to look around for a way to find the values and thought this might work.
Hopefully this helps. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Lotsofkirbys's LINK |

Alex, he bought the vacuum cheaply, ie. USED = NO WARRANTY! That's the risk you take buying used. And in this case, the cost of the motor and circuit board will have eaten up any money Richard saved by buying used.
Also, this is one issue I have with Miele canisters made 2004 with the Vortex motor - you cannot bypass the circuit board! Any other brand that uses a ordinary 2 wire motor, like Sebo, their direct competitor, it's possible to do that. That's why I personally will not recommend any Miele made after the S500 series before 2004. The quality of the double stage motors are so much better, and don't have this issue. Rob |

Rob, it's not impossible to have warranty work done on a secondhand Miele. At least here in the states, I've seen it happen at least once or twice but not all the time. Also, I would not bother bypassing a circuit board. That for sure would void the warranty. And here's what I really like about the Vortex motors, they may not be as durable and reliable as a two stage motor but they are lighter and more powerful. I have a Miele Red Star S312i and it's definitely not as powerful as the Miele Classic C1 Home Care PowerLine that I've sold before when I was working at a vacuum store. As much as I love my Red Star, I definitely would buy and/or recommend a new Miele today. They're still built and designed to last up to 20 years if properly taken care of.
Richard, if I were you, I'd get another board for your Miele. I humbly think they're not worth messing around with. I tried it once on another vacuum that I was repairing, didn't work. |
