Hi does anyone know where i can get a wiring diagram for the Miele T5206? I live in the UK and want to convert my 25amp machine to 13amp so need a wiring diagram for the heater.
Thanks Chihuahua

Not sure whether this will be useful to you, but in my (limited) experience 'Professional' dish/glass washers designed for single/three phase working have two or three separate heating elements wired in parallel when used single phase. simply disconnect one/two of them to reduce the current demand. Heating times will increse hugely, though....
All best

Thanks Dave - am now wondering if I should sort out the wiring to run it at 25amp instead of conerting it - can anyone give me any advice re the size of the cable i would need to run it from a 32amp breaker(have a spare one)and any advice on which switch/spur or isolator to use to connect it to the supply
Thanks Chihuahua
No problem. You should use 4 sq mm cable (or bigger) for a 32amp single circuit. Get yourself a double-pole isolating switch (as used for cookers/showers). Most of these switches are now 45amp, so more than enough, Immersion heater switches may only be 16amp, check the rating on the back... ;)If you want the machine unpluggable, may I suggest a 32amp blue BS6363 plug and socket??
