Washing Machine Drawer filling with water

Hi - I have a Miele W1 Twin Dos. I use it the "normal" way with fabric softener and washing powder. Recently I've noticed that the washer drawer fills with water so every time I want to add Lenor I have to remove the drawer completely and empty it in the sink. I've cleaned the drawer thoroughly and can't see any blockages anywhere. Any ideas?

Miele spin/drain during wash

Hello. I've recently bought a miele wsf363wcs 8 kg washing machine and it was installed and tested by a technician so no fail in installation. But from the very first wash it started doing this: When I choose a program WITHOUT prewash, it spins and drains all water and detergent after few minutes and starts adding water so it washes without detergent and again. And again. At least 3 times. I've to add detergent couple of times! Then after 8-10 minutes after starting the machine, it starts washing. Why does it drain water several times during ready washing even though I do not choose prewash? Has anyone experienced the same? Or should i call a technici…

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…

Any tips on where to get a genuine replacement part for my old Miele W149 would be appreciated. It would have to be shipped to Norway. Is it easier to order directly from Miele perhaps?

Few days ago I got well preserved, second hand ``Miele Novotronic W 913 Allwater``. This is my first experience with Miele product, so I would like to read the instructions for proper use. Unfortunately i didn't get the instruction manual. As I can't find instructions for this model online, I wonder if someone could recommend me to look for the instructions of another model, whose working principle is similar to this one? Thank you in advance!

Is it possible to switch opening hinge to the left?

I'd like to buy wwi-860 washing machine, but all Miele products have hinge on the right side (while others manufactures on left) I have really small laundry room and for me this is a deal breaker if it is not possible to switch the hinge. I have contacted several places but I got conflicting information. Maybe someone on this forum already have some experience in that matter.

Miele 3XX & 6XX Model Numbers!?

Hello all, Hoping to purchase another indestructible Miele but am struggling to get my head around the different model numbers that seem to have the same features. All of the following 9kg 3XX series seem to have identical features, the same price point and a 10 year warranty. Does anyone know the difference, and which is best?! WCG360, WWG360, WSG363, WEG365 To confuse matters further, the Miele 6XX series costs approx the same, has additional features to the 3XX series but only a 5 year warranty. Can anyone help? I'm inclined to go for a 3XX machine for the additional 5 years peace of mind instead of additional featur…

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.

Miele Drum failed during CV19 lockdown

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.

Miele Drum Misshapen - Manufacturing Tolerances?
by Spinning- 1 follower
- 2 replies
- 2.7k views
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

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…

TwinDos Dryer wrinkles everything
by karenanneatx- 0 replies
- 1.1k views
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

Losing Faith In Miele's Guarantees
by shlg2- 1 follower

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…

TwinDos - using your own detergent

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?

Miele W3985 Spin Speed Settings
by Czimp- 1 follower
- 3 replies
- 3.2k views
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.
