Welcome to the club,
Surprisingly to hear but Miele washing machines are quite robust and have been cleaning the great unwashed for many decades, I`m sure a little detritus as stated above would not fail to stop a Miele in action... Questions: How long have you owned the Miele Washing Machine? What is the Model Number? Could it be on a "Spin Delay" programme, which keeps the clothes in the water until ready to spin.. When you opened the drain port cover how much water came out? a little or what was in the drum? Just trying to determine if the motor has broken and needs replacing or you have a blockage in your pipework? |

Hi Paul
It would look great - they say its not working but quite often it is a simple repair that is needed. The top loader is all sorted. I changed all the seals and noticed that there was some pitting on the support tube. It must have been leaking for some time to do this but several turns of PTFE tape have helped it make a good seal with the bellows seal. The only problem I have is with the interlock - it was really difficult to open the lid so I removed the pin which means you can open it when it is spinning but the brake comes on straight away so not really a problem. I will look at it again at some point to fix it properly. Unfortunately I have to keep it in the shed at the moment as trying to sell the house so not playing :( Mike - the tap connector is an original one that came with my Mums hotpoint 1504 and was before they used the screwed connections for the hoses. The chain isn't as long as it used to be but I can remember her wrapping cloths round them as well to stop water spraying everywhere!! It didn't take her long to get it plumbed in properly!! Cheers Stephen |
