I've been landed with sorting a friend's Miele vacuum cleaner. Erratic operation traced to a break in the mains lead which might be traceable but better replaced.
My problem is working out what the cable size is. Measuring the wire diameter with digital calipers can give either 1, 1.25 or 1.5mm^2 !! The motor is 1000w which would suggest either 0.75 or 1mm^2, but it is possible for mechanical reasons that a heavier cable has been used.
It's a 2 core cable with the inner insulation showing 2.33 mm dia (ooops, just spotted that I'd put m^2 above!) and the outer 6.27mm dia. I've tried googling but cannot find a site that gives overall diameters.
Thanks Rob
