Miele W3203 fills and drains at the same time; suspected EDPL100 control board
- The problem
- A 6-year-old Miele W3203 washing machine was reported to fill and drain at the same time during wash programmes. The owner said the machine had previously needed repairs for control board faults twice and for the tub cross once.
- Likely cause
- A visiting Miele technician diagnosed the main electronic board as faulty again. The owner identified the board marking as Miele EDPL100. The technician reportedly blamed excessive detergent, but this was questioned in the discussion and not supported by further evidence.
- What fixed it
- The discussion did not confirm a repair. The only practical recommendation was to seek a reconditioned replacement board or have the existing board repaired by a specialist repairer. No compatible alternative board from another model was confirmed.
- Checks to try
- Miele technician diagnosis of main electronic board fault
- Board marking noted by owner as Miele EDPL100
- Previous repair history mentioned: two earlier card problems and one tub cross repair
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Miele EDPL100 electronic card
- Reconditioned or repaired control board
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

I'm puzzled at how excessive detergent can cause an electronic board to go faulty. Unfortunately Miele spare parts can be ridiculously expensive and you can't get any cheaper ones. There's very little technical information for them either.

Sorry to hear you are having difficulties with your Miele Wash Machine. I had a Miele for many years when I lived in Germany and never had any problems with it. Perhaps you are unlucky or maybe I was very lucky. Having said that, the consumer magazine "Which" rates Miele as the best buy in Wash Machines. I recently nearly bought one but was put off by the cost, so I bought a Zanussi. As to getting a replacement card ... you could try www.espares.co.uk. Good luck! I hope you fix the machine soon.
gael.
thanks but its hard to find this card...can another model fit?
any one knows where I can get good 2nd hand electronic card it has Miele EDPL100 writen on it
Try QER repairs, they may have a reconditioned one or may be able to repair yours.
