Hey Guys
This will be coming to live with us subject to it testing ok. It was donated to the charity shop where Matt does function testing :).Im going in Friday to check if its set up for 13 or 25A - If its 25A It may get converted or it could possibly be connected into the cooker circuit..........

They are great machines Seamus. A nursing home I worked at in the 90's had two of these models, they ran practically 24hrs a day and never missed a beat.

Hey Paul
Being a nursing home Im guessing they had the gravity/sluice version? thankfully this is the pump model as I dont think our landlady would apreciate a hole through the wall lol...

Actually they were both pump machines. The sister Nursing home (owned by the same man) had older commercial Miele's that were sluice machines with gravity drain. I don't know why the newer nursing home did not have sluice machines.

Hmm

Issues with providing a gravity drain or being able to have them on a raised plinth possibly?

Yes, probably as the laundry room was very small and the machines were under worktops.

Surprisingly...

According to the circuit diagram Matt found in the inside of the front panel the last date is Feb 2001 which makes it somewhat newer than I thought :). We are going to test it on Monday :)

Miele

I think its a buyer dont you, these are real workhorses, you see many a residential home with them purring away, and was talking to a teccie and he said its the pump models that now outsell the dump drain models which is perfect for you guys.

Has it been "special programmed" ??

One of these was the first Miele washer I ever used, in Disneyland Paris of all places, in 1998 or so. We also had the later version in one of my previous jobs. 

 

Goes without saying, they're great machines - you don't need us to tell you that lol. Surprised to see it donated to a charity shop though. Any idea where it came from?

Hey Chris
No idea but Matt is going to try and find out next time he is in.
Its very quiet on spin (1250RPM) but only spins for 4 mins, only 2 of those are full speed so will be interesting to compare it with the W5740.....
It really is growing on me lol...

Tested.....

And fine :-) 55 mins for a small 60deg cotton load with 2 rinses. A full load with 3 rinses adds about 10 mins- that's wired for 13a...
