Miele...
I think we get a water-lock more than anything - since the Miele tries ramming its "I got no respect for my surroundings" attitude down the pump's throat.
So - it ramps up for spin, then you start to hear the thing strain for about 10-20secs, then it stops pumping AND spinning (which is silly). Does a quick flush/tumble of water and tries again.
I've never seen what happens if/when it can't manage to cope with this. I know we have triggered 'Check Detergent' at least 3-4 times - typically on loads of towels or dog blankets (The latter of which require a long, hot wash that might "encourage" excessive sudsing). So the machine thinks we're idiots, when we are really not.
Personally, I'd prefer it if the Miele took to spinning up more gradually then just "Going for broke," particuarly on the Minimum Iron, Automatic Plus and Cottons cycles.
Some friends of mine have some "Daewoo" POS - which can barely recognise Sudslock. Its so loud though you can clearly make out when it does that in (every) cycle. However, it will spin for at least half a minute before its braindead "logic" kicks in, and forces the next rinse on.
Unfortunately, that means that by the final rinse, everything is covered in thick suds, and you'd think you were washing in a Unimatic!!! Glad to report though that fabric softener at least takes care of the bubbles for them
