- This forum is for anything to do with Miele washing machines - BUT NOT repairs
- All repair questions need to be in the following forum - UK Washing Machine Repair Questions
This is because most faults are not specific to a brand. Most faults and fixes are the same for all washing machines. Splitting faults up into different brans causes much duplication and fragmentation of answers

I understand the site owner wants to keep those kind of questions off this forum. Can anyone suggest where I might look for that kind of advice? Is there another forum around that might have members with the expertise to advise on general questions regarding faults with Miele washing machines?

Hi, I'm looking to purchase either and W5877 Edition 111 or an W1901 in the next few days. I need help to decide which one to buy and why. My local dealer prices for each are: W5877 Edition 111 (8Kg) - £1149 (before £50 cash back) includes 10 year warranty. W1901WPS (7kg) - £1170 includes 5 year warranty. I like the modern look of the W1901, but: 1) Is there anything the 1901 does better than the W5877. 2) Why is it noisier than the W5877? Is it because it doesn't have a brushless motor? 3) Is the spin noisier than the 5877? 4) Miele said the W5877 has 4 shock absorbers as opposed to 3 in the W1901. Is this true? 5) Are the white plastic trims on Miel…

Hello I wonder if anyone knows what is the metal plate on Miele WT 2780 washer dryer. Just curious ... Is it a further heating element? Some sort of sensor? Thanks Massi

I find it strange why on lower models, the maximum spin speeds on certain programs are lower than on higher models, *even though the lower models can accomodate that spin speed*. e.g. all examples below refer to potential 1200rpm which all machines can spin at Premier 520 top spin speed is 1200rpm, W3240 is 1400rpm and W3922 is 1600rpm Program..................Premier 520......|.....W3240....|.....W3922........ Minimum Iron..............900rpm...............1200rpm.........1200rpm.......... Automatic....................900rpm................900rpm...........1200rpm..........

I need a new washer and my choice is between the W1714 and the W3240. However, like the previous poster, my washer location is in a purpose built cupboard in the right hand corner of the room. I estimate that the door of the W1714 will open to 90 degrees from the shut position (a 44cm diameter door positioned 6 cm in from edge) and the W3240 should open to around 110 degrees from shut ( a 39.5 cm door, 9 cm in from edge). Does anyone have experience of a Miele up against a right hand wall (!!!! ) and will the fact that the door cannot open beyond 90 to 110 degrees be a problem? Thanks

I have taken delivery of a W2209i washing machine which I am thrilled with. The wash quality is excellent and itr is so quiet. BUT I am not sure about the drain filter. Today I iopened it for the first time and it poured water all over the floor. It does not look like any drain filter that I have seen before, cannot see any mesh or anything to clean. Can anyone help me please?

My wife and I have narrowed the huge array of options for washing machines to Miele. This is mainly for the reliability, water and power efficiency of the machines. My wife is concerned that as we are getting a bit older and that the machines are designed for at least 20 years life expectancy, how do we raise the machine to ease the stress on our aging bones and muscles. Is it possible to do, will it effect the warrantee? TIA Roddles

Hi, I am considering purchasing a Miele W3240 (£668 from Dixons) which is currently part of the 10yr warranty promotion. This promotion ends on the 28th of February, so I am wondering if I should rush to buy before the deal expires, or will it come round again soon enough? Our current machine is an incredibly noisy 8yr old Hoover Soft Wave 1100 which refuses to die. This backs onto a room which will soon become a nursery for our first child ( due July 30th). So we would like to replace the Hoover before this date with something quieter. What's the chance of the 10 year Miele promotion being back on before then ? Or can I put up with the Hoover for a while long…

I'm hoping to buy my first ever washing machine!! how exciting! After reading about lots of different things i think i'm going to splash out and buy the Miele W1714. My only quesiton is about the warranty...i seen a lot of bnater about 10 year and 5 year warranties, but when i look at buying the machine no site mentions it. What's the crack? Is it a limited period offer? If so, does anyone have any inside info as to when Miele may offer this again? Ta Rob

So, I have finally got the money together (£800 to £1100) and think it is the right time to ask the more important question as I have got the message that it should be Miele. Which one should it be? I have been looking at the new style W4449 as I like all new technology - I get attracted to LEDs and it has a big door. The W3844 WPS seems a more traditional option with possibly more of a robust constitution - in my experience traditional/older styles are better made than anything that is modern/wizzy, not that this knowledge makes me shy away from new technology but just accepting of shorter lives and disposability. Then the question became, as I use the eco friendly g…

I urgently need a new washing machine. In the past I have only spent about £350 on one so spending £700-£800 I really dont want to make a mistake, especially as its going to last me 20 yrs (hopefully). These two models seem to have very similar features the only difference being the brushless silent professional motor on the W4144 and the waterproof system (which you explained about on a previous post). The noise of the machine isn't an issue to me as it will be located away from the main living area of the house. My question really is about the motor being brushless. Is this much better? In the past had a costly experience with a hoover washing machine (only lasted…

Well after trolling many websites and reading what seemed like hundreds of reviews and a lot of reviews from these forums and website, we decided for sure on a Miele. We were going to get the W3740 but nowhere seemed to have one in stock. We needed to ditch our old Indesit quickly due to constant break downs and with having a baby in tow, living without a washing machine was a no brainer. So looking at Buywise of Banbury * Official Miele Stockist (just up the road from us) we saw they were very well priced. We saw the W1714 for £589.00 and at that price who were we to argue As you can see it has very clean lines and we were very impressed when it arrived. Th…

It's been suggested to me that as a guarantee may not include limescale damage, then unless I'm in a softwater area I'll probably still need to replace the washing machine before the 10 years is up? Just when I thought I'd made up my mind to pay the extra and go ahead! Can you give me any advice on this?

Does anybody know why this is so, as the W 4144 seems to be quieter, as well as having superior features. The only thing that makes me hesitate to buy it is that it is cheaper than the W 3740, suggesting that there are some drawbacks. Be grateful for any advice on this. Plenty of people seem to rate the W 3740 highly.

Hi, I've read some of the reviews on the washer help site and did a search for 'cheap Miele washing machine' and this one came up. Does anyone have any experience with this machine? It looks kind of basic but I like the idea of that because that means I'll probabaly be able to work it and less chance of stuff breaking down. It includes 5 year Miele warranty and UK mainland delivery. Konrad

Hi A newby here and I have narrowed down my next purchase to be a Miele washing machine, due to the build quality and the quietness. However, I am intriged to know, as I am still will to be pursuaded, that as a requirement I would like to be able to wash a king size duvet/dog bed/large items rather than take them to the local launderette (@ £13 a pop!). Can any of the Miele washing machines wash these? If so, which ones, if not, which other makes/models can? Looking forward to any advice.

Hi Washerhelp - I'm a returning member, but, as ever, a great site. Looking to get a new washer. Probably a Miele, based on what I've read at Washerhelp. Was interested in the LG direct drive system, but sort of gone cool on it after reading your review. (Not to say that it is a bad product, of course...) Just wondering if Miele has an out of balance spin function? When I went into my local supplier to talk about getting a new washer, this out of balance issue came up. He said he has a Miele but there are still times when it gets out of balance. Seems like there is no getting away from it. Anyway any advice (or thread you could point me to) would be appreciated. …

Hi all, I'm thinking about buying the Miele Prem 520. I like the look of this and my budget can just about stretch to the 499.95 price tag. Miele seem to be a good quality manufacturer - even though I'm getting one at the lower end of the Miele scale, would the forum regard it as a good buy. Thanks in advance for your comments Regards Dave

At last, I've finally finished my latest Miele washing machine review. It took me a few months because of shifting priorities and a bad habbit I have of tending to work on many different projects at the same time and constantly chipping away at them instead of sticking to one thing until completed. I also decided to complicate the review by shooting and editing some video for the first time. Here's the actual review - Miele W3740 review

I am currently the proud owner of a Miele W 3740 washing machine. Look out for a big review of it soon (I'll post a link here when it's ready) In the mean time anyone interested in buying a Miele W 3740 should be aware that many sites say there is a 24 hour delay start function on this washing machine and there definitely isn't. The Miele site now has the corrected version of the specifications but many retailing sites have copied this erroneous fact and still display it. Edit Here is the review - Miele W 3740 review

As luck would have it, our 12 year old Zanussi Jetsystem decided to violently announce its sickness a few days before we went away, making a serious banging sound on fast spin. my wife had Premier Electric out and they changed the hole-y drive belt, but a few days later, it happened again, this time a bit more terminally. After taking some part-washed items to some friends for rinsing and spinning , we had a closer look and suspected the bearings, since the drum was scraping around on the tub. When we got back, we paid a visit to John Lewis to look at some Bosches and Siemens. I'd spent some time on this website beforehand, as I always like to know more than the sales …
