Miele Mechanical Timer Not Advancing

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Thanks for suggestions guys......

Know some newer Miele washer do have small transformers to convert 120v to 220v, at least recall seeing pictures of such posted by a member. For my part don't even know where to start on how to wire such a thing into machine/timer, much less find a place to permanently affix so machine will close and operate normally.

Crouzet made these Programmschaltwerk timers (including motors) for a vast array of washing machines, dishwashers, and dryers sold all over Europe.

From what information have been able to glean from speaking with Crouzet and reading posts over on Teamhack what matters for timer motors is revolutions per minute, spindle, frequency/voltage and of course direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise).

Miele washing machine timers have "green" and "blue" gear wheels. You notice in above pictures timer motors have dots that match color of gear they are mated to fit. I do not know, nor have been able to find out if those colors mean anything. That is are all timer motors 82432 the same, and take their cues from electric signals off programmer; or are there subtle differences.

Need to find the schaltplan for my washer which should have timer programming on one side. Know it is in machine somewhere, but forgot where exactly. Recall finding it once after being told off by a Miele tech it wasn't where it should (had never opened machine prior to that event), but did locate it afterwards in another area of machine. Just cannot recall where, and am in no mood to open up that machine yet again to root about

Timers going wonky with these Miele units is common enough. A few members posted such issues going back (found in archives). None reported back however how they fixed the problem. Well one poor member ended up frying is W423 timer and had to rubbish machine in consequence.

If Father Christmas brings me a multi meter (am not buying any more new tools for duration, *LOL*), maybe once things are quiet over long winter will have both timer motors off to test. If indeed the advancing timer has gone, then at least know what one is dealing with. OTOH if that timer works, then have much larger problems.

Maddening thing is Crouzet made these entire 120v/60hz programmschaltwerk just for Miele to their specs. This explains why after Miele stopped ordering them in supply dried up. Spare part cost dear when MieleUSA had it in stock ($525 USD), but obviously people out there snapped them up.
 
"Should be in the front(if I remember well."

Yes, that is where schematic papers "should" be located, but as have stated on my washer they are not in that location.

First time Miele tech came to my home he looked for schematic where it was supposed to be and told us off because it wasn't. Hadn't opened machine since it arrived (didn't even know how at the time), so responded "I never....", and that was that.

Subsequent issues with washer (and Miele USA's appalling lack of assistance) caused one to open and root about in machine (limited), and found said paperwork. Just cannot remember where.....
