I work in the arctic where just about everything is flown in and very little flown out. Knowing how modern appliances often don't last as long as the old ones, I'm wondering what would be the recommended brands that would be best brands of all types of appliances to bring there that would be the...

Miele... I took this machine completely apart when I got it home and it's well built obviously. Simple to work on, on the mechanical aspects but with all the electronics, not so obvious. It was filthy from having been used with what I figure unfiltered well water then left standing for a few...

Update... I called Miele customer service and they couldn't help me. They said there isn't a Miele repair service available in our area but there are two independent ex-Miele techs who come into town once in a while so one of them is coming around on Tuesday. I explained the problem to him over...

Alternatives? These W1 and T1 machines you see being sold cheap or given away, what is the part listed that needs replacing? We've had a Bosch dishwasher for 22 years now and the only issue was a very common control board problem which consisted of an small resistor overheating and causing a...

Videos... Thanks again Launderess. Yes, I had seen those videos, as I've done a lot of searching and now understand quite a bit more what the story is about Miele NA. I was watching the fellow with the 3 month out of service machine and my wife heard his comments. She asked what that was all...

Called Miele.. They couldn't help me except to suggest having a tech to come to the house, at $300, as was mentioned by Launderess. I'll call back with the display board part # and see what that costs. I imagine $$$. What I've seen though on Youtube is someone who has the same model as ours...

Day 3 Does anyone know if there's a main motherboard within the innards of the machine or if all the electronics are built into the main display board? It wouldn't seem right to have electronics under the laundry tub but anything is possible. I'm asking because the connector to the display...

Service manual.. OK< well, that's a start. I'll check it out, Thanks.

Replies... Thanks for the replies. I haven't contacted Miele as this started yesterday afternoon, on a Friday here in Eastern Canada. Does Miele give online or over-the-phone assistance on an out-of-warranty machine? This machine was bought new by someone else in Jan.2020 and I just bought it...

I'm guessing Miele service manuals must be as rare or as guarded as the Cola secret recipes but just in case anyone has access to this information it would be handy to have. We're having problems with the dial settings and display screen on our Type HW21 washer in that the programs selected are...
