Now how did that happen. Did you put a whole box of detergent in the machine? |

We did a load of thick towels and a bathrobe with a regular amount of (European) Ariel. Normally it does 5 rinses before it spins but we let it spin directly after the main wash. The Ariel is a relatively sudsy detergent and the bath towels probably frothed it up very badly. Besides that there is very little space between the drum and the tub. I guess this combination lead to a very hefty sudslock.

And there is no detection of sudslock so that the machine stops spinning immediately? |

No, this machine doesn't have a detection system for sudslocks. It just goes straight into spin, no balancing, no sensing of whatsoever. Brady Bunch revisit indeed! This machine has no suspension system inside. It's on springs and casters. This design saved space inside the cabinet which made it a very compact machine with regular capacity. They were very popular with people who didn't have space for a regular washer. This design was used in Eastern Europe too, I think the Hajdu Energomat was built in Hungary.

Most of the time only a little water to none will come out of the top during the spin cycle. But it is indeed a good idea to put this machine on a floor that can deal with water. Miele made a few toploaders as well, but most of them didn't spin like my Automatic 400. For a while Miele manufactured a model that did a spin. That machine did have no suspension at all. It was the Miele W473. Here's a picture. |

Yes Louis, That Miele washer looks very much, if not identical, to the machine my neighbours had. |

Louis, Yes, it was a Miele. They wouldn't buy anything else! I had my doubts about the spinning, but according to my mother it did. |

That's odd, just found that Miele used model number W400 recently for a completely different machine. CLICK HERE TO GO TO mielabor's LINK |
