Are you aware if the cool down on Miele Minimum Iron 40°C no longer default? I've run two loads of cotton (about 2 kg) in my Miele W 5985 and in neither case was a cool down carried out, only drain, one spin burst and straight into first rinse.
 
IIRC Miele Long Ago Ceased "Cool Down" Filling With

For both normal and permanent press/no-iron cycles on it's washing machines. However IIRC you can often change this setting by reprogramming.

Aside from water savings one assumes so few persons boil wash these days that doing a cool down or cyclic rinsing wasn't required.

On my Miele W1613 you have to select "suds cooling" through the programmable functions option. This provides a cool down on Min Iron and Automatic if 40 deg C is selected ( or above for Min Iron ). On cottons it will cool the water if 75 deg or 95 deg wash is selected. There is a section in my instruction book on how to select this option so it will probably be in yours too. To quote Miele " The machine is delivered with Suds cooling deactivated ". Hope that helps.
 
Thanks. I was under the impression that if it detected a load of Synthetics it did a cool down at 40° on the Automatic programme.
 
Miele 1986 from 2002

which I have.  I have it programmed for suds cooling in cottons program.  It will do this at temperatures above 120F by running a good amount of cold water into the tub near the end of the wash.

 

For perm press it has always done some form of cooling after the wash, but the form varies by temperature.

If you use a temp of 105F it will run cold water into the drum before draining the wash water and performing a short burst spin. After the first rinse it will do a short spin but at low speed.

 

If you use a temperature of 120F or over.  It will first pump some  hot water out, then fill with cold water and continue the cold down process.

 

If you use cold water I don't think there is cooling done at all.

 

My machine was delivered with suds cooling and water+ deactivated plus for the USA customers the manual was stripped of programming instructions as well.  I found the programming instructions in the AU Miele manual.  

 

I have tried to read the current washer and DW  instruction manuals for the UK and AU but every time I try to access the manuals it says there are not available.  I wonder if Miele is now blocking the USA from them?  I wouldn't be surprised.
