Posted sorted Hi Laundress, After messaging a few times I managed to get it sent. He also had an electronic unit for the machine so I’ve bought that as a spare just in case. I will definitely do some videos and put them on my YouTube channel

Machine update Hi everyone The timer arrived and I installed it last night and the machine is now working fine 😊. Thank you everyone for your help and especially to laundress who found the eBay ad for the the timer, if it wasn’t for you the machine would still be out of action. The machine...

Door Lock Hi Laundress, I did another test on it last night and actually I think the door lock is ok. I tried opening it while it started spinning and it wouldn't open. Because the timer is ticking through constantly I probably caught it as it had actually finished spinning and had cycled...

Hi everyone, Thank you all for the input and advice; I really appreciate it. I am going to have a look at the pressure switch to see if it’s blocked but as the machine has never really been used I’m not sure there will be much in there. I have also attached a link to a video of what it’s doing...

OOO, Thanks for sending this, I will try and see if I can order it. Thanks, Jamie

Unfortunately Miele UK have gotten rid of a lot of the old people that knew about the older machines so they are pretty useless now. They do at least have the parts lists on their site now and the part number for the rapid advance timer is 1569664 (Timer MTA 600.11L) though the most recent one...

Hi Laundress, Thanks for the information, I think my machine was one of the last of the w784s to be built so hopefully whatever electronic issues there were they were fixed. The background to the machine sitting for so long was that the owner moved in with his gf just after buying the house so...

Hi everyone, Do any of you have much experience with the Miele W784? I’m having an issue with mine. The timer just keeps rapidly advancing and won’t stay on any section so it won’t run any cycle. I would love to get it working as it’s in perfect condition apart from this fault. Before I got...

Lovely machines guys, I’ve always had a soft spot for the servis quartz models especially the 600

Thanks for uploading these, I have a 15792 so it’s great to see what the manual looks like Kind regards, Jamie

Opposite issue with my similar age Miele I unfortunately have the total opposite with my Miele w784, it rapidly advances through the complete cycle When you switch it on and won’t stop until it reaches the end Initially the timer just keeps going round and round but eventually it will advance...

Aww this brings back memories, my grandparents had this machine for years 😊 Jamie

Gary was a lovely guy and happy to give advice and help. He openly offered to come and help me repair some of my machines when lockdown lifted but unfortunately he passed away before we got a chance to meet. He often told me about his time as a Hoover engineer, his love for the A3308 and how...

Mike, Thanks for putting these vids and photos together, amazing stuff. It’s just a shame we weren’t all able to celebrate it in person. Cheers, Jamie

Hi Everyone, I hope someone can help me with my creda reversair dryer. It works ok but it wont reverse. It seems to be something to do with the reversing mechanism on the back of the drum. When i took the back off to look at it while it was running it seems that either the thread on the bar...
