hi all
after wanting one for 13 years (since i was 6 years old) i finally managed to get my hands on a Miele Professional PW6065
the odd thing was that this machine is an OS model. i live in the UK so it running on a 50hz supply isn't an issue as Miele's are able to run on either 50 or 60hz
when i disconnected the machines 440V to 220V transformer it came to life after i had been misdiagnosing the display issue this machine had due to the low voltage the transformer was outputting as a capacitor issue
when I finally did manage to get the machine powered on here's what greeted me
this machine typically has a relatively wide range of programmes with variable temperatures on each one
i have no variable temperature or spin speed. and i have 12 programmes all with their spin speeds and temperatures locked
this machine also doesn't have a "supervisor level" in the settings either, just very basic things you would find on normal machines
upon further research i later found that i could change this in programming mode, which is activated by pressing the start button 5 times after the door is closed.
there is yet another problem i didn't expect
this machine will not let me access programming mode to change it's settings. even when it's NTC temperature sensor has been disconnected
so instead of calling their rather incompetent engineers over the phone just to be told i need a visit or a new board of some kind that won't fix the problem, i'm asking here for any help i can get with this very unusual issue with the machine's programming
this is a very confusing thing and i've never had a Miele be this difficult to access before
PS. some have told me it is locked into a "launderette mode" that i can deactivate in programming mode, but as listed above, i cannot get it to work
