Miele W526 replacement motor module query

The problem

The owner fitted replacement motor module 7785400 to a Miele W526 after supplying the machine serial number. The new module did not have a hole for a small brass locating pin present on the original unit, leading to concern about the pin’s purpose and whether the replacement design had been revised.

Likely cause

The discussion does not confirm a fault with the replacement part. The issue appears to be uncertainty over a design difference between the old and new motor module.

What fixed it

The accepted advice was to ask Miele directly, as they supplied the part and should be able to confirm the purpose of the brass pin and whether the replacement module was revised not to use it.

Checks to try

• Original and replacement motor modules were compared visually
• The owner swapped the top from the old unit onto the new module and reported that the machine then worked
