Miele W2444 faults at beginning and end of wash

[Pebster]

Hi,

After solving my drain filter removal problem (https://www.washerhelp.co.uk/forums/topic/2607-miele-w2444-removing-the-drain-filter/ I now have a new set of faults

 

1.  When I start a cycle, about 15 seconds or so into the main wash the check inlet light starts flashing.  After about 10 seconds or so the light stops flashing.  The cycle continues....

2. At the end of the wash, it stops with the check drain and checks inlet lights both flashing.  I think it stops before the spin cycle but could be earlier as I was not watching at this stage.  The spin cycle has not happened as items are still very wet.  Its possible that there was no rinse either but the water has drained.

I have cleaned the inlet filter to the Miele inlet safety hose and no change.

Any suggestions?

A little more information .....

I have cleaned out the inlet filter and the first issue has gone - check inlet flashing at beginning of cycle.

When I run a quick wash - usually +-22 min  the cycle runs on for close to hour.  It finally drains and does not spin.  The end result is the  check drain and checks inlet lights both flashing.

Hello, Im not a trained engineer but I had similar problem with my machine. It needed new motor brushes. They were easily got from ebay and very easy to fit. Somebody else posted that you would get unusual noises but that never happened with mine. Somebody else said the brushes were only worn half way but so were my old brushes and it was enough to stop the machine going into spin cycle. Hope this helps.

If it empties all the water but won't spin it could be a blocked pressure system as described in this article Washing machine not spinning
