No, no glass damage, but, with almost any load the top part of the machine vibrates very much. I have watched videos on YouTube of people whose machine needs new dampers and a characteristic that seems to be present is that during spin up and down, at slower speeds, the drum rocks side to side a...

Anyone have directions on how to replace the Friction Dampers for a Miele W1213 washer? I called Miele today and they are $212.00 + $20.00 for shipping. I was a little surprised as I thought they would be about half that price as I'd seen online for other Miele models. Looking for a better...

Looks nice but... This is my next dream: http://mieleprofessional.ca/ca/prof/products/33_31517.htm I guess I should start saving my pennies now. http://mieleprofessional.ca/ca/prof/products/33_31517.htm

And for something completely different I have a question regarding the Programming Mode for the above mentioned washer. There appears to be two oddities with reguard to what the Service Manual reads and what my machine outputs. First, when I got the machine, I did a factory reset to have all...

Hi, I was wondering what cycle/programme one would select on a W11xx/12xx series Miele washer to clean shoes. I have the 6kg W1213, specifically, but the manual doesn't mention anything about shoes, so I was wondering what others with this series of machines choose when cleaning shoes. Thank you.

@MrB Yea, wanted to pipe in that my Miele does reach the correct temps. But I have one with electronic controls so nothing is hard coded for time--that and it is the last of the 240V models they made for N. America (W1213). I have it hooked up to cold only too to get profile washes. But, I pay...

Thanks! I think I may turf the pillows, get new ones, and then get those dust mite-proof covers (the ones for people with dust allergies). Those things are waterproof and should in theory never let sweat or drool, etc. touch the pillow, thereby allowing only laundering of the pillow cases and...

Hi all, I have a Miele W1213 washer I recently acquired and want to wash pillows. Does anyone know if it's possible in this model (It's rated for 6 kg/13.23 lbs)? Also, what cycle and options should I use? Finally, how many of which size(s) can I do and (this may sound silly) how would I load...

Miele N. American 240V machines I think all parts of the N. American Miele machines use 240V AC (some may be stepped down to low voltage DC, like the control board). How do I know this? Because the Neutral wire is not attached to anything inside the washer. And if they decided to use the...

3rd wire... Hi, I have a W1213, the last of the domestic 240V machines Miele made for N. America. It is wired 4-wire but, in my explorations, it is really 3-wired. I'll explain: this machine only uses 240V so, because each hot is at 180 degrees from each other (in frequency), the Hots cancel...

Hello, I have a question on the varieties of Persil laundry detergent. I know that Henkel makes many different formulations but I am concerned particularly with two: Persil Universal Powder and Persil Universal Megaperls (also a powder)...
