Check the brushes
You can find the technical/service manual online for Miele 1900 series. You'll need it in order to run through the built-in electronic diagnostics and understand the results.
When H-Axis washers either will not spin at full speed (or at all) and or tumble it usually is an indication of carbon brushes wanting attention. | ||

What should I do next?
Call Miele USA. *LOL*
That or sit down with the technical manual and try to learn what error code (if any) is being generated and how to fix. www.manualslib.com/manual/818702/... | ||

The water level switch responds to pressure changes inside the pressure chamber which is connected to the tub. For it to work properly the hoses and the chamber must be clear. Start there and then turn to the pressure level switch. | ||

Sometimes When An Issue Isn't Clear
With a Miele appliance it *might* be wise to call in Miele service and at least let them sort out what is wrong, then go from there.
As one who has sunk >$800 in parts/service costs into "Big Bertha" to keep that older machine running know such bills aren't easy to stomach. But the alternative to poking around and or going on blind hunches can often be a worse alternative. When things like the suspension system, bearings, pump and a few others go, that is easily sorted. The electronics absent a clear fault code are another matter. It isn't helping matters that Miele telephone techs aren't as forthcoming with aide as they once were. Sadly now it seems most won't help with self-diagnosing but are quick to setup a service call. Unlike my 1070 your 1903 isn't considered so "ancient" by MieleUSA that they sneer and almost are loathe to touch. *LOL* | ||

There is nothing like a Miele
Personally would suggest taking a page from my book; bite the bullet and have Miele service in for the 1903, then pick up something for use to take some of the workload.
Have the Oko-Lavamat as a more modern "European" washer complete with all bells and whistles. In addition of course have my Hoover TT as well so am well sorted. Your Miele is getting on but nearly as old as mine. Just as with a good automobile or any other major investment as things get up in years things will start to go. Again the only thing I wouldn't repair on my Miele is the bearings. But so far have had.... New door boot Speed selector switch replaced Cold water inlet valve replaced Shock absorbers replaced Suspension springs replaced Had one been more handy probably could have done most if not all these repairs, but since aren't had to ring up Miele. My unit now knocks during certain spin cycles, am sure the old girl is on her last legs, so don't use her as often. Want to get at least a few more years out to justify cost of last repair job (new suspension springs) before machine heads to knackers yard. You might find in some ways and for certain loads another machine might suit better than your Miele. Unless badly stained/soiled (which *NEVER* happens in our house, *LOL*) find can get on faster with multiple loads using either the Hoover and or tubs and one of my mangles. A final rinse and spin in either the Miele or AEG still is much faster than the hour or longer it takes to get though just one load in either. | ||
