Miele Electronic Unit for Capricorn S5980 & S5981

This is the genuine Miele electronic unit, part number 9343781, for the Capricorn canister vacuums — models S5980 and S5981. The Capricorn was the flagship of Miele's S5 line, with electronic speed controls in the handle and an automatic suction setting, and all of that intelligence routes through this control PCB inside the canister body.

Because the Capricorn's handle controls depend on the main board, a failed electronic unit produces symptoms that look like handle or hose problems: speed buttons that do nothing, the automatic mode hunting erratically, or a machine that powers on only sometimes. If a known-good electric hose and handle don't cure those faults, the 9343781 board is the next component in the chain.

It installs in the original board position with factory connectors — a clean, solder-free repair that returns full variable-speed and automatic operation to a vacuum that is otherwise built to run for decades.

Fits: Miele Capricorn S5980 (silver) and Capricorn S5981 (burgundy) canister vacuums.
