Lol. :)

This machine is from 1990. That's 26 years!! I think MieleUSA's policy on not wanting to repair a machine this old is not out of the ordinary. Techs probably don't know this machine anymore. Anyone who worked on one of these 26 years ago is either not at Miele or has moved up. Most techs only...

Repaired!! The brushes arrived today and went in with no problem. Putting the motor back in was easier than removing it. Three bolts and voila. Belt tensioned to about 1/2 inch of give with firm finger/thumb pressure. I tested the spin and it is even more quiet than before. I can't believe it...

"How did you manage to get that motor out of machine? Was it such a horrible thing as Miele techs have made one believe all these years? Did MieleUSA give you any help or just placed the order for parts (brushes)." I drained the water in the plinth, tipped it on its right side witha blanket...

I removed the motor from my W1065 today and took a look at the brushes. They are definitely done and do not appear to be touching the commutator or whatever it's called. I ordered a new pair from Miele. Cost is about $65. I will report back once I have it running again. Probably a couple weeks...

@laundress looking back at you previous post about the motor have one side for tumbling and one for spinning. I may go in there this weekend and take a look at the motor after all.

The motor on this machine works just fine. The machine will step through every part of the cycle, it will agitate the laundry as it should, it will drain, it will fill, it will heat. I've tested the pressure switch by blowing in the tube and connecting a multi meter to test that it is switching...

I will look for that manual. Thanks for the help!

It won't enter the spin cycle at all. I don't think it's the brushes since the drum will turn slightly left then right on it's own and then when it clicks over to the spin function on the timer, it simply doesn't spin. Usually worn brushes will also have a ton of carbon dust under the motor...

Major Thread Revival In doing a search online I came across AutomaticWasher and this thread. It seems to be the same exact issue I am having with my old W1065. I love this machine and it has "low miles". Everything works as it should but it just stopped entering spin mode recently. I can get...
