For what it's worth there are videos and other information out there on entering service mode for Miele W1 washers. Most of these are from Europe and there is no promise will work on machines sold in USA.
Miele long got fed up with Americans going where they shouldn't (entering service mode), messing things about, then calling customer/tech support because they did something they shouldn't, now cannot get machine back to "normal" again. Not sure when change was made but predates Miele W1 washers, (maybe 3xxx series?). By this mean there isn't or may not be anyway to raise water levels other than what is in standard programs. Keep in mind Miele USA no longer provides any sort of tech support over telephone as in days of old. If you go into service mode and mess about, it will require booking a call out (for which you'll pay dearly) to have a tech set machine back to rights. What you want to find is "programming" mode inside service menu or otherwise. This is the function I believe Miele has taken away or restricted on washers now sold in USA. www.automaticwasher.org/c... www.houzz.com/discussions/543436... www.houzz.com/discussions/242149... | ||

Manual for WWFO60 gives directions for increasing water for rinses (see page 81)
www.concordpacific.com/wp... See nothing about increasing wash water levels. Have you tried experimenting with different cycles to see if any use enough water to get job done? | ||

Dry Clothes..in a W1 Machine
I have never had this issue in my machine. Is it possible you are overloading the machine? I always see water and a little suds running down the glass as the machine tumbles the clothes and I have never had clothes come out of the machine that were dry from not being washed. If not overloading, I wonder if you have an issue with the sensor that determines how much water is needed.
Does your model have an option called Water Plus? When you use this option it adds more water and an extra rinse. However, it has to be set for each load. It can't be set as a default. You can however, set an Extra Rinse as a default for every load in mine. I found a couple of things in my user guide that might help if your machine has these options. I don't find that I need the Heavy soiling option often because everything gets really clean in the Normal setting. I've used the Water Plus option a few times and only because I wanted to see how much more water was added. I find that the machine always adds the appropriate amount of water for the load.

I will highly suggest not acessing the programming mode unless you have a machine with full text display (or the service manual for a machine with digit display). At least on previous generations bricking your machine was easy when changing a wrong setting and on the digit display, you just don't know which setting is what. | ||

Try the dark garments programme. That uses extra water by default, shame US models don’t have water plus as my model on darks with water+ fills past the bottom of the door for wash | ||

It’s strange as I have a recent W1 and have been happy with the water levels. If you have the Miele App, you can select WaterPlus in the App as an Extra option.
For the work pants, you might consider the Outdoor cycle or Darks as others have suggested. I used Outdoor for some mattress pads and was really impressed with the amount of water and wash action. Bob | ||
