MIELE programming Mode. Effects of settings.

[henene4]

@hoover1100
You have to press it three times and then hold it (Its quiet confusing). That means you press twice, then, at the 3rd time, you hold it pushed in.
Wich modell have you? Because, 3 times pressing is normaly the service cycle. Testing the components etc. If I know your modell, I can tell you a bit about it.
5 times pressing then is the programming mode. But DO NOT USE THIS MODE! You would more or less probably need the service to reconfigure the board as long as you dont have the coresponding manuals and a text-display(I know it as it happend to me earlier )

Auto load detection

So it's switched off and the wash proceeded as if a full load. No other differences to note. Clothes got a great rinsing, it's amazing how much fresher well rinsed clothes feel. Bouncier.

Tricity bendix

Yea i did mean tricity bendix, mines been reliable from day 1 never broke down and has done upto 12 loads a week, yes i agree the drum is quite small but other than that ive found it to be the best machine ive ever used performance wise, theres no issues with thr belt. If anything my zanussi fla1002 is the bad one, that gives bad results and yes the belt disintegrated after only 8 years. I like th programming of the tb over the zanussi as it dosent waste time like the zanussi does with antisuds tumbles or whatever they are. Also the tb is much quieter than the zanussi and alot quicker

Miele fault

Another thing. Not sure if its happened to anyone else's but i know its happened to a friend of mines machine, not on here but on youtube, the problem is that the machine will freeze mid cycle, still washes away but the time dosent count down, its happened on the main wash and rinses so far, was just wondering why it does it as everytime it happens i have to cancel the programme to make it work properly again

There that's much better.

 

[liberatordeluxe]

PaulC I have no problem with you AT all.

I am basing my experiences with modern machines that I have personally come across so don't side with that lot based on that.

I may not be an engineer or overly experienced but I am far from stupid as some would like to make out. I have changed modules and timers on a friends old 95 series so I do know a little about washers but there am always willing to learn more.

Thanks to your recommendation of Halo Non Bio Paul I am going to buy that for the whites only as you are rightly so it being easy rinsing. The guy at HALO was really informative and said that the likes of Ariel and Persil deliberately add foam boosters because the public like to see foam but he added that it made rinsing difficult and also a reflection of modern machines using less water. His words NOT mine.

 

[aquacycle]

I'm noticing a pattern here with threads about machines turning into threads about detergent.

Of course the guy from Halo will say that. He's in competition with P&G and unilever, so he'll say anything he can to make the Halo product look better. That's marketing for you. I've never used Halo, so can't say anything, but Persil and Ariel haven't got 50+ years of glowing reputation (Persil power aside) for nothing.

Now, back to the Miele?

 

[liberatordeluxe]

What would you like say about Mr Miele then dear?

 

[paulc]

Chris

I just have to say to Liberatordeluxe, Halo is a good detergent but you'll need oxygen bleach added for whites.

As for Miele pausing mid cycle....mine does that too if the fuzzy logic determines wash temp has not been reached or excess suds in the rinse.

 

[w5872]

Indeed, Back to the Miele

So...I'm glad you liek your Tricity Bendix. After the 1992 models though I found them quite boring. But if they float your boat, they float your boat.

I certainly wouldn't be trading in my Miele for a Tricity Bendix.

Does anyone have an idea what "Allergy" does when switched on? It was switched off on factory settings. I switched it on. I wonder if it affects the tempeeraure holding times in regular cycles? I know the hygeine programme hold the temp for the majority of the main wash (I did a 90c Hygeine cycle full of towels there was SOME heat off the machine for 2 hours followed by a very deep cooldown)

 

[aquacycle]

I wouldn't say anything to Mr. Miele, seeing as Miele have their own detergent....

Back on topic, please?

 

[aquacycle]

Robert, I agree with you about Tricity Bendix. My Dad had one in about 1998 in a rented house. It was a great machine - washed and rinsed well and reliable, but for an enthusiast to sit and watch, it was rather boring

 

[liberatordeluxe]

Can get Ecover Oxygen bleach for that.

My guess is Allergy would use high water levels or double rinsing as they call it?? Or a bit like 'Medic Rinse' on a LG where the water reaches 40C.

 

[w5872]

Miele feezing...

My Miele has never frozen nor suds locked. And i've really tried to get it to sudslock. Reminds me of the drain pump on our old Zanussi and Electrolux. Serious drain power.

My last Zanussi would always have water pour down the door on the spin, never with the electrolux, the 2002 Zanussi, or my current Miele.

The Zanussi ZWF14791W really was an awful crock of shite.

 

[w5872]

Re:Miele medic Rinse

But Miele has "MAX WATER LEVEL"..So there would hardly be two options for the same thing?

 

[w5872]

Aquacycle

Aquacycle, had an ould nosey round your profile there. You had a Bendix between 07 and 09?

...Tell me more darling.

 

[w5872]

Lastly tonight

I also mean't to say that the Zanussi ZWF14791 would often freeze and wash and wash and wash and wash unless you stopped it.

For instance, superquick 90 cottons...1.47h runtime. If it froze would boil the water in the tub and 4 hours later would STILL be going.

 

[aquacycle]

Well, Robert sweetie....

Firstly, call me Chris.

Secondly, here is the Bendix we had. It replaced a Zanussi FJ1295 in 2006. My Mum left it in her old house when she moved in 2010. It was a great machine, although the cycles were long. It had the old style Zanussi drum with the stainless steel, moulded paddles and not the later plastic paddles

 

[w5872]

Aquacyle

OK Chris ...(though I preferred darling...)

Cool, my aunt and uncle had one of these, there was an older blockier style of this machine too. Same layout but more modular. Same numbered electronic dial but again modular. (They replaced the modular one, with this one)

So these were Tricity Bendix's...But with electronic controls like..Did they pro/preceed the mechanical control Tricity Bendix's? For mid 90's machines to have electronic dial controls on what would be Electrolux's value badge range of machines? Seems strange.

Awful shame Electrolux bought Bendix. It's so hard to differentiate between the Electrolux group nowadays. Electrolux go for years at a time without producing their own badge freestanding washers and dryers but when they do they're very very good stock.
