My washing machine (Miele Little Giant) is making a strange "clicking" sound during the spin cycle. Miele tech at first tells me it is the drain pump. On the next visit, he decides it is not the drain pump after all since he cannot recreate the sound when testing without laundry. His next guess...

Does it make sense that a Miele Little Giant with less than 1000 operating hours would have a failed drain pump? The tech says it needs to be replaced (I will try attaching a audio file of the sound it makes). It is a lightly used machine so it is out of warranty...

Yes, you are right , it’s a bit fussy to get the sequence accepted by the machine, but it finally worked. Thank you for sharing the manual!

Caps expensive AND can’t adjust dose Given the amount of fiddling around many of us have had to do get the optimal amount of TwinDos amount of detergent dispensed (one needs to at the very least adjust to water hardness levels, and many have found that they need to take substantial haircut off...

Anyone familiar with how to check operating hours on the Pw6068 little giant? On other Miele washers I have had, there has always been a way to enter the service menu and check operating hours, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to check on this machine (of course, there’s always the...

Thanks for the help. I think that’s what I will do. The “steam” seems more trouble than it’s worth.

Finally have it temporarily turned off Yes, there must be a Y connector to the cold water turn off that then feeds both the washer and dryer. As soon as my washer finished its cycle, I turned off the water that I previously thought ran only to the washer, and the water going into the dryer...

The dryer has a steam function, which I was NOT using, but it turned itself on and now won’t turn off. It just keeps pumping out steam even when the dryer is turned off. Here’s what I have tried so far: 1) turning dryer off — but steam still spewing into machine 2) turned off dryer at circuit...

Using tape to repair Silicon self-fusing extreme tape can be very useful for leaking hoses. https://kk.org/cooltools/xtreme-tape/

Miele service network And in direct reply to your question, my experience with the Miele service Is mixed. At least there is a service network, but you will have to wait for service and not all of their guys are super skilled. The US service network is reputedly far less able than their...

Don’t feel bad about purchasing an LG I don’t think there was a clear cut “right” answer here. I have had a Neptune (I think the model was 5500), Miele W1, Miele Little Giant and the older Miele 1100 series. Could you have made the W1 work with your family size? Yes, but you have to be...

The end of my leaking W1 => Little Giant replacement saga I wrote to Miele Quality Control. I outlined all the difficulties with the install process and requested a significant discount on the Little Giant trade out/“upgrade” . They agreed to my request and it certainly helped reduce (but not...

Little Giant may be part of Miele Commercial but.... Even though it’s called a “sluice” cycle it wouldn’t approach what you are describing. The Little Giant seems more like a well-built (and admittedly very expensive) residential machine. I wonder what percentage of the Little Giants are truly...

And forgot to mention Jerrod- In answer to your question, the new Little Giant is performing well, certainly up to expectations. And while I had gotten used to the TwinDos dispensing of the W1 (useful to me only after Miele started selling the Sensitive version of TwinDos), I do find the...

Jerrod- I actually did send the pickup truck photo to the Quality Assurance department of Miele USA , and described the shoddy delivery process as well. My Miele contact agreed that the delivery was not all he had hoped for, but vague regret was about all he offered. The delivery team were in...

Postscript on washer replacement by Miele As of Dec 16, I have finally reached (for now) the end of my Miele repair journey. What I haven't shared yet is just how difficult it was to get a successful install of the new replacement washer. The installation team retained by Miele was sloppy and...

So it seems this insert should never be used for bleach It would appear that neither chlorine bleach nor liquid hydrogen peroxide is especially suited for release in the prewash cycle. And chlorine should probably not be used in this machine at any time. It seems that if one wanted to use...

Agree that chlorine bleach not needed I was curious because the manual doesn’t mention bleach, but the liquid prewash insert for the detergent drawer has “heavy soil/ bleach” printed on it. I am now assuming that this means hydrogen peroxide, which would then be released into the pre-wash...

Little Giant ok with bleach?? The Little Giant seems to be doing fine. One thing I haven’t been able to figure out is the insert in the pre-wash area of the dispenser drawer, which is labeled for prewash detergent or liquid bleach. The manual does not discuss bleach, so I am not sure whether...

Final update on leaking Miele w1 - replaced machine My W1 leak errors started on Oct 18. Today, finally, my new washing machine was installed (Dec 9, so just a little short of two months since the initial problem followed by numerous service visits). Once I negotiated the exchange to a new...
