Mielé W423 with ordinary dishsoap

[fredriksam]

Ohhh well. Mr Overflowingmachines have uploaded some weird videos again.

First the BAD news:

1 He emptied a whole bottle of ordinary dishsoap in the machine. You could guess the results from that. I will link some of the videos.

2 The machine in question is broken and the owner is gonna throw it away. Not any idea of repairing he thinks.

The GOOD news:

1 the machine survived the suds attack. Its still broken but works.

2 The owner MAY give the machine to me for free. This means i can repair it and use it myself, instead of being throwed away. These Miele machines are very good and reliable. I have contacted the owner for info about the faults with the machine.

It is as follows:

1 pump not working.

2 Thermostat does not heat under 40 celsius

3 Timer works not all times

4 the door lock is broken. You have to manually open the door

5 Motor refuses to spin at times (could be too much water in the machine?)

Probably i will get it working.

Now to the videos

Almost explosion.

Then we see it spin with some suds in the door. A nice spin break and some more stuff. Here we understand the pump is broken.

I think he needs a doctor...

And a psychiatric hospital...

Once you've seen one machine spitting suds out the drawer, you've seen em all...That behaviour isn't necessary and if this guy isn't careful he's going to end up seriously injuring himself or someone else...maybe a short sharp electric shock would do him some good.

What is more annoying is that he has access to some great vintage machines that, if he were to film them doing a complete "normal" wash cycle, they would be really popular on YT.
