Original Miele Washing Machine Electronic Power Unit (PCB) Card Miele 9172854
The Electronic Power Board (PCB) ELP 165-SW KD (Part No. 9172854) is the main board of Miele W1900 and W5000 series washing machines. The power board is responsible for managing the motor, heating element, and drain pump. Genuine Miele OEM part – replaces a faulty power board directly, without the need for additional programming in the field.
Is your washing machine completely dead – no lights, no response? First check that there is no tripped circuit breaker. If the problem persists, the power board is likely faulty. Check for compatibility by looking at the model number on the manufacturer’s sticker – the sticker is usually located on the drum door frame, drain filter cover, or the back of the appliance.
When is the power card the cause of the malfunction?
The ELP 165-SW KD power card often fails with obvious symptoms. A machine has completely shut down and no lights are on – this is a classic symptom of a power card failure. Also, error codes F39, F41, F45, F50 or F100 indicate an electronic problem that usually originates from this card. A machine that responds to pressing one button but “freezes” on the rest – this is also typical of a partial power card failure.
Insight from the field (Daniel, Plrom's Miele expert): Failure of the ELP 165-SW KD power card is often caused by a burnt varistor on the board – the result of a transient voltage surge. Before ordering the card, check that the dedicated circuit breaker for the machine is working and that there is no recurring problem in the home's electrical network.

🔧 How do you replace the power card?
Replacing the ELP 165-SW KD power card requires opening the washing machine body and working near electrical circuits. Independent replacement is intended for experienced technicians only.
Unplug the machine from the power supply for at least 10 minutes before any work. The power card is usually located at the top rear of the machine body, behind the back panel. Document all cable connections before disconnecting – take pictures. Replace the card while maintaining the exact same cable arrangement.
Not sure about replacing it yourself? Contact Plrom's Authorized Miele Service – our technicians are Miele certified and keep the parts in stock.
Additional insight (Daniel, Plrom): After installing a new power card, run a short wash cycle (about 30 degrees) to make sure all functions work. Miele machines from these series do not require programming after replacing the card – the OEM part “knows” the device immediately.
💡 Tip from the experts
Daniel, Plrom's Miele expert , recommends: Before ordering a power card, perform a basic reset – unplug the machine for 10-15 minutes (not 30 seconds!). Miele ELP cards require a longer time to discharge internal capacitors. Some failures that appear to be power card failures – are actually temporary failures that recover after a full reset.
