Miele Dishwasher Mouse Damage in Armidale

A recent dishwasher repair project in Armidale involved a Miele dishwasher that had stopped operating due to an unusual electrical fault. After investigation and fault finding, the cause was traced to mouse damage inside the dishwasher door, where a wire had been chewed and caused a short circuit in the electronic control board.

While rodent damage can sometimes lead to extensive wiring repairs, in this case the wire itself was not badly damaged. After careful inspection, the affected section was sealed and protected using liquid rubber insulation to restore insulation integrity and help prevent further electrical issues.

Further testing showed the short had damaged the dishwasher control board, requiring a replacement electronic board to be ordered. Once the new board is fitted, the repair should return the dishwasher to normal operation.

Faults involving control boards and wiring issues can often be difficult to diagnose without proper testing, particularly when damage is hidden inside appliance panels. Careful diagnosis is essential before replacing parts unnecessarily.
