It measures the boiler temp Arek. But if you ask what it was as component I can not tell you anymore since I already gave the device back working long ago!

Sorry that I didn't see your question sooner Miloud because we normally never read our older articles.
But to answer yours you just have to read the marking on your diode to know what replacement component you need. I do not know anything about your Carestyle 2044, so only you can determine D2 from its datasheet on Google by reading its marking.

Just when you ask for help... you resolve the issue! In my case the LED was causing a short as if the microswith was pressed, causing the EV to be engaged all the time. Issue resolved.

Very interesting and thorough troubleshooting. I'm trying to resolve an issue with my CareStyle 5, quite similar to the 3, which is driving me nuts. What i'm experencing is that the EV is latched to on, and steam is always being released whenever the boiler reaches warm-up temperature. I replaced the microswitch, EV valve (thought was locked on, or leaking) and even the full board (T2 triac posible failure) but none has worked. The EV latches properely when the power is removed from it. Any leads on what to look next would be appreciated.

Addendum: After about 3 weeks of waiting on the components, especially the 24V 5 Watt zenerdiode, the Braun Carestyle 3 Iron indeed works again splendidly.
Because I was unsure what wattage the 27 Ohm resistor was I had ordered 1,2,3 and 5 Watt resistors, and it must have been a 3 Watt resistor. It was about the correct same size and so I used it to finish this repair.

These Mobile shops we also have plenty in my country too Yogesh. They often also handle parcel collects from for instance GLS and others (courier services). But they exist mainly because Mobile phones are quite expensive as also the Sim card provider contracts they sell. (;)

Albert,
Now a days many shops related to electronics spars are shutting down
In our country also most of them are converted to Mobile phone Accessories shops.

Good effort for repair.
