Are you sure you haven’t accidentally turned on prewash? Or your saying that it never fills with water again and just tumbles for 2 more hours?

Today I scrapped a Miele Heat Pump drier from 2011, I bought it second hand for $100 and when it arrived, there were no secondary filters and the front of the evaporator was choked with fluff and lint. I cleaned it out but it never managed to dry a load, it would get warm but never hot, it was...

Matic years ago was how Unilever described their front loader detergents, OMOmatic, Drivematic etc. I hadn’t seen this Nomenclature used in other countries before now. 15 years ago everything just started being branded as front loader or top loader at about the time the phosphates disappeared.

Hi Adam, have you looked at the mode shifters like used on the Simpson or Hoover machines? I think they’re electrically self contained, in that you apply power and they engage, then when you remove power they unwind. Could those be adapted to work on the extractor? I actually just found this...

Hi Matty, That’s a really neat looking machine. I’ve got a service manual for the Dispensomat in the early 60s that I could copy if you think you could use it? Cheers Nathan

Matty, have you been able to secure this beautiful looking machine? I’d love to see more photos?

Have you also checked that your legs aren’t over extended and that the locking nut is done up tight? Our W1 has always been on concrete, but the earlier machines were on a wooden floor and would vibrate significantly. The best improvement came from screwing all 4 feet up to the base of the...

The Miele oven will maintain any temp from 25c up to 280c depending on the mode. I regularly use 30c for 90 minutes to defrost meat from the freezer

I use my Miele oven heavily, so I run a cleaning cycle whenever it prompts me to, which I believe is the point it determines that the catalyzer needs to regenerate. It works out to being 5-6 times a year. I use the longest cycle which seems to take between 4:40 and 5:15, I assume depending on...

A Kenwood Major, that would’ve been a unicorn in the US

I second the above response, the 1xxx/3xxx had issues with the bearings and spider over time. I've had 8 3xxx series machines bought second hand where the inner tub rubs on the boot and its generally been a combination of the spider/bearing/seals at the rear have failed. My W3933 which was new...

No worries Ralph I got to that link from MieleUSA.com, go to support, repairs and maintenance, parts and accessories, there is a link at the bottom of the page that says view the spare parts catalog. You then enter your model and away you go. It was very difficult to use on the phone and It...

Here is the part available from Miele USA. Added to my basket and ready to checkout. Item 120 in the 8th diagram https://www4.miele.de/msd/MSD#/device/43049/etd/1836514681701/

Hi Ralph, Have you actually tried calling Miele, in AU, the only way to get parts as an end user is to call. Those relays have been used in the washers and dishwashers for a very long time, if that specific part wasn’t available, there would be a substitution. Cheers Nathan

I agree with Hene, as someone who grew up in the 80s with the advent of Coldpower and cold water washes, I always associate smelly towels with cool wash temps. You need to be washing towels at 120-140 if you want them to stay odor free. Do they smell when dry, or only after they’ve been used...

Have you just rung Miele to get a price on the part? Over here if you ring with the part number, or ring with the dishwasher model and ask for the heater control/relay, they should be able to email/text you parts diagrams that you can then use to identify the part and have them give you the...

Callum, as someone who has know Leon for 20 years, your words say more about you than they do him. Leon has helped many people, the key being that they are respectful and understand that his life doesn’t revolve around washers or the internet. You need to look at how you interact with people...

Charlie/Callum, that looks very nice. It’s not the first generation however. The first generation had a flat control panel. This is the second or third generation of machines. You need to remember that you catch more flies with Honey, rather than with an annoying drone.

Is he actually suggesting that you glue the secondary filter in place? Once that cage is sealed shut with silicone, I can’t see how you get it out for cleaning?

Is the measurement on the dial for soap in cups? Does the doctrine say what the numbers mean?
