My Dads the same age, but he "apparently" uses it for the sale pages. He's such a Liar. Shame, are you on Youtube?

facebook

My cleaning lady recently uploaded me to facebook. I have four friends in my list. I like it that way. I am finding the internet to be both a treasure trove and a Pandora's box, in similar measures. I laugh at what I read on facebook. 20 years ago people were often 'ex directory' (if you are young and don't know that term, look it up on this wonderful internet) and yet today people cannot wait to spread their business around.

There was a woman who lived on the corner of the street where my parents house was. She was the equivalent of what we know today as the BBC News 24 channel. She is also long dead, yet I cannot help wonder what she would have made of the facebook.

Well, after lots of stupid "wud u take 30 tnite m8" type messages, I accepted a £60 offer for Henry just now!

Waiting for payment, then will box Henry up later and say goodbye!

Hi I have a henry and have recently changed for the red one,

Quick question

Before I changed pcb could get no power,just a light on the high low rocker

Now I've changed pcb henry lives again yay !

But no hi low function just one speed LOW

i wired it from wiring diagram

I've told the seller of the pcb but he says it must be the high low rocker switch

I'm just wondering did he send me the wrong wiring diagram for the light up rocker switch?

I think there are 2 PCBs in existence, did you get the 2 connector one or the 4 one?

I've got 2 more in the shed awaiting payday to order 2 PCBs, it gets addictive!

Off topic,

What kind of Miele s5 do you have? I'd be delighted to know.

 

[sebo_fan]

Well I did have a Miele S5211 Red Pearl but sold it off a few months ago.

I now have a Miele S8340 Ecoline

 

[beko1987]

I have a Miele S5210, which is still doing sterling service as a daily. Except it doesnt get used much at the moment, as theres always another vacuum to use! Infact the last time I looked it was covered in dust in the hallway...

Pics?!

I'd love to see pictures of them. I'm so sorry, I'm carried away with Miele's.

 

[beko1987]

Here you go Leo, my mums S4, my S5 and an s3 I bought of eBay cheaply, refurbished and sold shortly after this picture was taken! Just received a service box each for mums and mine today actually!

I dont know when Numatic changed the PCB :/
Will a 2012 Henry break? It has been in regular use from November 2012 till present if it helps. I was told it wont, but reading this thread I am a little confused on when the PCB's were modified

Interesting read.
My Henry Autosave was dead when I got it a few years ago, only the high/low would show a red light if pushed but the motor wouldn't run.

Found it had a worn out brush, replaced it and off it went, but only ever on high. Works fine, sounds like the triac is shorted in my case, so it's able to run.

Chaps,

What is the best way to bypass the PCB?

I have my dead Henry in bits - worked fine 2 days ago - today the light came on the hi-lo switch when Henry was powered up, but no motor. After sucking my teeth a few seconds and pressing the switch a couple of times, and cycling the power, now all lights are off. Switches test fine with meter, and there is power into the Henry from the plug.

So it looks like PCB. I'm happy to remove it, I only ever run it on high anyway.

I have a brown/blue/black/white into the red PCB. Do I join those, leave hi/lo switch alone, or remove from PCB and connect into hi/lo etc...

Any pointers appreciated.

Thanks

JF

You want both white motor cables to one side of the main on off switch, then the blue and brown wires from the cord unit to the other side. You may have to have henry apart to the motor to check which cables are which then either strip out the pcb and wires, leave the switch in to stop stuff falling in the hole and hopefully you will win!

 

[jupiterferris]

All working! So the red PCB is removed completely and all wires are off the hi/lo... the motor is wired direct to the on/off and we're good as new. Well, almost. But free!

Thanks!

 

[parwaz786]

Nice job! Just curious, how old is your Henry? My Auntie'sHenry has the red PCB and her Henry is 2 and a half years old, still works perfectly fine

 

[jupiterferris]

Well I never delete an email, so I can tell you I bought it from Argos in October 2011. Coming up to 4 years old then.

I have a few dogs, 2 of which are long haired and moult like a @#!, and this Henry has had some heavy use, I would say almost daily...

Awesome!Very handy
