The way I love FS, I doubt Kevin would ever let me even think about doing my laundry in one of his machines. And Miele's dispenser is too small for 3 or 4... gallons! LOL
Last Saturday I brought home Miele triplets!

Kevin, we also have 1215/1415 set in stainless as our daily machines.. got them from a pal who was selling a condo for super cheap. Been flawless for 2 yrs, but haven't tinkered with displays/options much to find out quantity of loads run, variations in temps, rinses, etc.
Do you have any information about that for those machines? Some of the cycles are still a bit of a mystery also... like 'sturdy' ?

Not sure if yours is the same as mine was
If memory serves the code to get into the settings is 0000 and the options you can find there are brilliant you can change all sorts of stuff like cycle times hot and cold fill or just cold extra rinses etc
Have fun
Austin

Update?
Thank you all for your comments!
Launderess, "Moi" a Miele laundry appliance hoarder? Umm...... possibly as I might just have 2 or 3!
Austin, I should send you a private message so we can discuss disconnecting one of the heating elements. Oh the code to get into the other menu is 000.
John, yes I certainly have enough machines to open my own launderette, not sure if I actually will tho, LOL. Oh and yes I recently had 22 solar panels installed and the system was switched on just over a month ago! (pic 3)
Barry, as you can see I have umm, just a few Miele's including a W1215 I use every week, as well as a W1213 (white). Yours look to be in as new condition, very nice! Not sure if you saw the thread I posted in "Deluxe" on 9/27/20, but I have a Miele combi steam oven as well! Plus picked up a Miele vacuum about 3 months ago. Gee, maybe MY screen name should be "MieleMan"! LOL
On to the update: Well, turns out they didn't replace the machines "just because". I connected and tested one washer last weekend and the other two today.
Washer #1 Seems to do everything it's supposed to, but leaks from inside the cabinet somewhere. I haven't checked into it yet.
Washer #2 The menu reverted back to "spanish" 4 times as I was going through the menu and trying different programs. The tub light doesn't work, the cold water intake is slow, the inlet valve seems to be restricted or not opening fully. The bigger problem is something is going on with the sump, pump or...? I washed 5 dress shirts and on the first spin, it suds locked!! When draining it takes the pump a few seconds to start pumping, but when it does the flow seems fine. I opened the pump filter / clean out thing and it was clean, nothing in it.
Washer #3 Does<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> everything it's supposed to, but the tub light doesn't work.</span>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Otherwise they all sound good and are very quiet when spinning @ 1400 rpm.</span>

Drainage issue
I think these have a kind of vent pipe between the pump and the drawer that prevents the pump from air locking.
That can get clogged due to low temperature washing and certain liquid detergents.
Easy enough clean up, just have to get into the machine and check that hose.

I’ve had the issue that Henrik mentions, there is a vent hose on top of the pump, that goes up to a Y connector under the detergent dispenser.
Mine was blocked with bean bag beans.
Essentially, it would drain at the start until the sump cleared and then air got in there. Then when the spins started, it would struggle to clear whatever came out during the start of the spin.
Once I got it unblocked, it went back to normal.
Mine was on a 3000 series machine, which would be the same era as these.

Henrik and Nathan, THANK YOU that is a really great tip! I will check that as soon as I get the chance.
Nathan, what you described is EXACTLY what it’s doing, in fact one time the pump was running, nothing draining, but some water was still visible in the drum.

Yeah
That hose is there so air can get out of the pump.
Something about that pump design causes an air pocket around the impeller to form, thus it can't "grab" onto the water.
Once something moves and it grabs the water everything starts to flow.
But once it sucks air again (right after drain) there is air around there again.
Then the spin starts but it can't drain due to the air buildup.
Thus, sudslocking, even with next to no load.
While the repair is relatively easy it's just kinda annoying since you have get the front of, remove the hose there, remove it from the dispenser area, get it out of there, clean that long narrow thing and then get that all back in there.
Not that few machines got trashed because of that issue over here.
