Purchased Miele W3240

Many thanks for all the useful information posted on this site that helped us to make up our minds in the purchase of a new machine. We decided on the Miele W3240 complete with its 10 year parts and labour guarantee. Having mentioned considering a Siemens WIQ 1435 on viewing we saw that this did not the metal outer drum of the Miele. Comparing prices since before Christmas it was noticed that Currys/Dixons/Comet had reduced their prices to compete with other internet traders. They all did not seem to have any on display locally,( is it morally right to go look at a product in a local store but purchase cheaper on line elsewhere), could open another forum on that. Anywa…

Miele Aftersales - As Good As It Gets

Hi! I want to tell you all about the brilliant aftersales service I recently had on my new Miele Washer Dryer. I have had it about 8 weeks and when it was drying it would make an awful rattling noise generally after some time into the drying cycle and when the machine was particularly hot. The little orange screen also became covered with gibberish and would go out and then if I tapped it would come on. I spoke to Andy (Washerhelp's Sensei) and he advised me to contact Miele right away. When I did I was threatened with the fact that if no fault is found then I would be charged upwards of £90. This really put me off as the fault was intermittent and I felt it would be my…

Miele Appliances are the best I’ve ever used, im only 22yrs old and already own 5 Miele appliances (Washing Machine, Condenser Dryer, Dishwasher, Fridge, Vacuum cleaner) they all fantastic and when it comes to the time of replacing them I will once again go for Miele (once you do Miele there is no going back). Me and my partner once we moved out in to our apartment we bought a top end Hotpoint (baring in mind my mother had her Hotpoint ultima 9 years and ever had a spanner on it) thought it was a solid brand. How far wrong could I be had the machine 6 months and I had the following replacement parts fitted · 2 door seals · 1 motor · 1 pump · 2 bearings · Suspens…

W3240 Report
by Tessa- 2 replies
- 6.5k views
I've had my W3240 for a few weeks now and thought I'd post back some thoughts. I had a 15 year old AEG with a 900 spin speed, still working but often erratic. I had particularly wanted a faster spin to save on drying costs and because we're trying to cut energy usage wherever we can. I can't honestly say I've noticed the clothes spun at top speed being any drier than they were at 900. So I wouldn't pay a premium to get a faster spin speed (say 1400 over 1200) again - I think this agrees with Andy's advice in general. I like having a bigger drum, and the machine feels really well built and is very quiet. It is however as lots of people have said HEAVY. I'm finding t…

Miele Vs Bosch - New Which? Reliability Report
by slamdunk- 1 follower
- 2 replies
- 32.2k views
Hi, I've read a lot of useful information on this forum so firstly thanks! However I'm still having trouble deciding between buying a Miele washer/dryer over and a Bosch. Here's my reservation: 1. According to this new report from Which? Bosch are only 1% different from Miele in terms of reliability (92% versus 93% respectively): 2. Engineer call-out fees are more or less the same for the two brands: 3. Parts for the Miele are likely to be more expensive: 4. I'm not going to buy an extended warranty because I don't believe they are cheaper in the end: 5. Therefore I'm going to be paying repair bills myself after 1 year because Miele are not offering a 5 year warrant…

Hi I own a Miele W916 washing machine and am sick of paying out for a service engineer to unblock the INTERNAL filter. Sometimes I am charged 100 GBP for 10 mins work to simply remove a button or a 2p coin from the INTERNAL FILTER!!! There is an external access filter AND AN INTERNAL ONE. I have an electrician friend who said he would take a look. Does anyone know how to access the internal filter ? Cheers Dirool

Built In Scales

Wouldn't it be useful for a high end machine to have a built in scale that can measure the weight of the laundry e.g. 3kg for Express Wash. So you would know the weight limitations for each program and load optimally as you view the weight on an LCD as you are loading the drum.

Thinking of a Miele W1512 as a replacement but very irritatingly the door is hinged on the wrong side restricting access in our utlity room. Also the drum is small compared to most machines and it doesn't appear to have a delay start. The AEG L64810 which was tested by Which? to have the same clean/rinse/dry/noise/ performance and running costs as the W1512, has a bigger 6KG drum, door opens on the correct side and has a delay start. Bad point is it looks plain ugly compared to the Miele and is not that much cheaper (Miele is about £430 for me and the AEG is about £380) Which one?

Mr. Washerhelp! So we dont spoil our dtergent drawer and avoid the chore of cleaning it regularly we have been adding powder to the drum directly. I have been told this is less effective than putting it in the drawer. We use the drawer only for Fabric Softner. What is your opionion on this? Thanks Ricky

Miele Wt2670 Washer Dryer

I have just had delivered a Miele WT2670 Washer Dryer. I need to report that I am totally amazed by it. The build and design of this machine oozes quality. From the whisper quiet operation, wide range of programmes, high spin speed and other finishing touches such as the backlit dial and interior drum lighting. I had a Hoover Performa washer dryer and was pretty unipressed by the drying results. The washing was always still damp even after a drying time of about 2 hours!. I was going to go ahead and just get another Hoover but not a washer dryer as I have always had that brand. My neighbour showed me their new Miele W520 machine and I was very impressed with that. Th…

Miele W 3922 Wps
by JohnDuncan- 1 follower

- 9.7k views
I am considering buying Miele W 3922 WPS over the other models below it primarily because it says it has a more silent mortor. We have a openplan large kitchen and sitting area so silence is paramount. I would appreciate if anyone has this machine or has experience of a similar speced machine. Currently I own an AEG Lavamat 72630 that has served very well but would like to replace. Thanks and kind regards, John. PS I found that some local shops that link via Miele website are cheaper (I live in Bromley) than any internet search engines as Kelkoo and they do free delivery at your convenience.

2nd User Miele Better Than A New Bosch?

we are moving house next Friday - we were going to get my best friends old spare indesit washer to help us out of a hole for the first few months, however after a few tests hte old thing isnt very relieable its keeps stopping mid program and refuses to drain therefore to save a few quid we have thought about getting a 2nd user miele of about 2-3 years old for about the same if not less than a new bosch/aeg/similar. After all, like my old vw, a good well built machine doesnt become a badly built machine over such a short period of time. the only downside i can think of is a lack of warranty but a £500+plus machine for £150 seems like a good idea. does this sound lik…

Miele W360 Lights

I have recently aquired a s/h Miele W360 washer. It runs perfectly except when I open the door the back-light to the program knob goes out and comes back on after a couple of seconds. This doesn't bother me but I am concerned that the door release solenoid actuating is pulling the electronics supply rail voltage down. I am concerned that it could stress the EXPENSIVE electronics! Miele tell me that the light should not extinguish.

Non Return Valve?
by Hefin- 1 follower

- 13.5k views
A quick question.....In addition to the handbook literature and spanner that came with my new 1714, there was a metallic adaptor. I think it's a non return valve which threads on to my stopcock cold tap and the water inlet pipe threads onto the other end. Does this item need to be fitted? My old washer just had the water inlet pipes (hot + cold) attached directly to the taps. I have fitted this item but I did not put PTFE tape round the stopcock thread. In other words I have threaded metal to metal. The inlet pipe has a plastic thread. Should PTFE tape be used in this situation? Apologies in advance if this sounds stupid.........but I don't want to wreck a 700 quid m…

I am about to buy a washing machine for my new flat. I have been advised to buy a Miele - and after doing some research I have come across your site and other reviews all recommending Miele. Does the Miele Premiere 520 or W1512 have Aquastop? To prevent flooding should it leak? I intend to do the majority of my washing when I am not at home. I also notice that John Lewis don't stock any of these models but has other models with different names? Thanks.

New Miele - Hot Smell

I just had a new Miele washer/dryer combo machine delivered to me today. In the first cycle that runs to get the machine started with no clothes in it, the washer is giving off a "hot" smell. It's not really a "burning" smell but it smells very hot. And in the first load I washed, it gave off this same smell. What is this and does it go away? Thanks!

My New Miele W3985

My new miele W3985 it's absolutely fantastic! Lights on in the honeycombe drum! It's replacing an old hotpoint which was so noisy during spin take off that we thought the house is collapsing. New baby just purrs and purrs and the spin cycle is unbelievable quiet. It looks great so glad miele finally produce white machines and I love the anti crease system which gently rocks your clothes from side to side until you take them out. 10 out of 10.

Trying To Decide Which Washing Machine To Buy

Hello My washing machine has given up the ghost after 4 and a half years, and has now been written off by the insurance company (after a lot of trouble). The machine is a Candy and first went wrong about 2 years ago (luckily I had taken out an extended warranty). Over the past 4 months I have been without a washing machine for about 12 weeks in all (2 breakdowns) - waiting for the service engineer to visit, decide what was wrong, order parts, wait for parts and then organising someone to be in the house all day to wait for the part to be fitted. Finally, the engineer and insurers have decided to write it off and I am trying to decide which machine to buy. I am extr…
