I take recommending specific washing machines very seriously. I currently recommend Miele washing machines as probably the best washing machines available in the UK. As part of my commitment to giving good advice I have opened this special forum up for you to give feedback on, and ask questions about anything related to buying a Miele washing machine. If you buy any washing machine recommended by Washerhelp I will try to give help and support, especially if you buy through a Washerhelp link which can help keep the site running. Please post your opinion of the washing machine, any questions you may have prior to buying one and even any problems you may encounter after…

All, (I'm hoping this isn't a repair question) I think 'something' has got between the Drums & I want to take the element out to have a look, does anyone have a source for the 'starlock' retaining clips? from experience no matter how careful you are one of them can get damaged & I'd like a couple to hand before I start! Cheers Jim.

hello all i have a Miele w3364 washing machine after it having a clean in the soap tray and a couple of 95dg maintenance washes i had a "check inlet" led light appear and the water inlet motor at the back of the soap tray the red wheel kept going round without stopping, allowing water to enter constantly, it burnt the motor out within a few mins so i have new one which is now going around without stopping. Now though the wps in the aquastop hose seems to be stopping the water reaching the machine, if this is activated can it reset itself. i did notice this paragraph in the manual (If you intend to unscrew the Miele Waterproof system hose…

Our 13 year old Miele started smoking. Phoned Miele but could not get any technical support told to book an engineer visit. About a week to 10 days. Local engineer same day took 5 mins to diagnose misshapen drum rubbing on seal. Could try a new seal if he could get one (expensive long lead time). Best make it beyond economical repair. Miele delivered new one in 5 days. Expensive but no real option under current conditions.

Hello I've just taken delivery of a new Miele WDA100, and I was surprised to notice as soon as the drum started to rotate that it's not perfectly circular - the lip of the drum (at the front, nearest to the rubber seal) seems to be "out of true" by about 1mm (possibly less) at three separate points. The angle of the lip varies as well as the radius. 1mm doesn't seem like much, but it's more than I'd have expected for a fast-spinning machine. Has anyone else noticed this? Is it considered to be within normal tolerances, or should I be rejecting this machine (delivered only 2 hrs ago)? Thanks

Miele W3240 Vs Philips Elite 2005 Vs 1985 (approx years of technology) Bought Miele in 2007, Philips in 1986 OK, to give you some perspective, the Philips is from an age when new cars roamed around on our streets on B or C plates, and before most people had a PC with anything Microsoft on it. Obviously the Miele is a much quieter machine, and in normal operation is barely audible, the noisest element being the water and clothes slotching around in the drum. The pump doesn't appear to be much quieter though. When the Miele is compared to modern machines I have seen and heard like my mother in laws Hotpoint, the difference doesn't appear to be so apparent which is a…

How long is the anti-crease cycle in a Miele Premier Novo washing machine? I've just aquired this machine and am currently runnning a cycle and am wondering if the anti-crease cycle only finishes when I switch the machine off.

I have been a happy user of this system except everything comes out wrinkled. Mostly cottons. Linens are a disaster. I am ironing more than i ever wanted. I have dried the garment and put it in the steamer but this is a 2 step process and doesn't always work. Miele says to set the washer drum on a slower setting, but then the clothes come out too wet and takes forever to dry. I thought about taking the wet garment from straight from the washer and and put it on the steamer setting. Does anyone have any solutions for wrinkle free clothing? thanks, Karen

I have to say I am losing faith in Miele's guarantee that they will be able to keep machines going for 20 years. Here's my story. In 1994 I bought a Miele washer dryer for £1100, which was used fairly lightly. In 1998 there was a drum problem, so I paid £300 for it to be repaired. This meant a month waiting for an appointment before an engineer could come. When he did arrive he installed the part, but failed to screw it in properly, and the machine nearly exploded when I tried to use it again. I called them again, they came after a few weeks and promised me a new machine if I paid them another £800. I said they must be joking, and refused. Eventually they gave in and sai…

I've recently bought a TwinDos washer and don't expect to continue using the genuine Miele Phase 1 & 2 detergents due to cost, so was thinking about filling them with my own. I've read it's possible, but wondered what people's experiences were like? Does the system behave well using non-Miele detergents? One of my concerns is the system will clog up and not perform well and any issues in the future will be greeted by Miele with 'not covered under warranty as you haven't been using our detergents'.

Our old Miele washer drier sadly went to heaven, so we have a new WTF130. Our old machine told you the % of full load you had placed in the drum and how much detergent to reduce by, for sub 100% loads. Our new machine seems to have no such setting, how do we know how much powder to put in the tray?

Hello, I’ve recently seen for sale on eBay a secondhand Miele washing machine. Its going for £59 however it says that it has a plastic tub. Can you shed any light on which Miele models had plastic tubs as it’s my understanding they all now have metal ones? many thanks.

I have a Miele W3985 and I'm puzzled by the spin settings. On the "separate rinse" programme, the spin is limited to 1200, although on a regular wash it can be put up to 1800. If i run this I usually then have to run a separate "drain+spin" programme manually to get the faster spin. Why this restriction? Is there any way to change the config to remove the restriction? Many thanks.

We recently bought this machine, very happy with it. But the estimated wash time differs greatly from the actual. For instance, using the cottons programme, 40 degrees, normal soil, the display says 2:32hrs. It's then done in an hour and a half. Is this normal? My memory is that the first wash we did (only a fortnight ago) took the full two and a half hours, which seemed long. Any advice gratefully received, cheers joe

As the Miele are about 93Kg, can one be slid under a worksurface or put on chipboard and then slid under? Are there any decent wheels or rollers to use? It is a tiled floor as well, so I wonder wherther the tiles would crack under the load, probably not on chipboard? I just wonder how realistic it is to buy S/H and to be able to move it in an estate car, probably not easy?

We have had this model for just under 2 months. All washes have been carried out using the Miele TDos detergent system at 40C. A couple of weeks ago, the Hygiene Info banner came on. We then carried out a Maintenance Wash but the banner did not go away even though the machine had probably accumulated less than 20 washes in total since new. We tried to get help/advice from MieleCare. This ranged from 'I am not familiar with this model', to 'we do not have access to technical support,' to 'run it empty on the cottons programme at 90C'. The banner has now disappeared after I disconnected the machine from the mains for 30 minutes. I have posed a few questions that MieleCa…
