Miele novotronic w 919 flashing main wash light?

If it is the same as my W840 - then it is probably the heating element failed. A good test is to run the machine and add very warm water through the open soap dispenser. If at the end of the wash cycle the light remains extinguished, then it was probably the heating element. This also ensures the control board and thermosst are obviously still workng. It was not a very big job to change. Undo the front door fasteners (ensuring Switched off) and withdrawer the heating element carefully (they are held in place within the drum by spot welded brackets). I bought a new element from UKwhitegoods.com. This saved about 70 Squid plus the hundred pounds labour!
