Miele W3033 Insides

Motor cover, with another sexy Miele Logo. The connector just directly under the "L" in Miele is the tachogenerator cable that tells the mainboard current motor RPMs. (W3033 is default set for imbalance monitoring with a combination of the tachogenerator + imbalance switch for monitoring).

Bored yet? I'm not, I need a Miele Intervention. Let's continue.

Sump float. If anything starts leaking, water will pool in the sump area and send a may-day to the mainboard. Display will say "Waterproof system activated". This better not happen until I'm about 50...

That's it

Ok I'm done Thought you all would like to get an inside view of a Miele. I've scoured the internet for photos of similar models but they are very hard to find. Wanted to share the inner workings!

It's simply wonderful! In my opinion nothing can compare with Miele care in building its machines. I'd love to have a look inside my W4446 too! Thanks for the beautiful photos!

WOW! That looks great!

Beautiful machine!!I Love my Miele! This is one of the best machines on the planet in my humble opinion. I am still thrilled with it.

Andrew,

I'm afraid you'll have to wait longer than your 50s to see any water in the leak-detect sump

I haven't ever had a leak in both my machines (bought in 1984 and 2000). Nothing (hoses, gaskets, other rubber parts) has ever ben replaced.

Is'nt that the pressure switch telling the controlboard the waterlevel in the drum?

That washer is so clean and new! It's a dream! And yes the MIELE logo is sooo sexy!

I'm not 100% sure how the 2 devices work together. I know the white air gizmo down by the heater has an air hose that connects to the little round gizmo mounted to the front cradle, and then from there it goes up to the mainboard pressure switch. I wasn't about to take the thing apart to see how it worked, digital photos only

Thanks for sharing this!

Hi, Andrew, thanks so much for taking the time to share all of these great photos.

Boring? No way!

Because of great advice from people like you, I'd (very recently) decided to buy a Miele washer, too — same model as you: W3033.

We love it, too!

 

[vacfanatic]

Thanks!

Bernina,

No problem. When I bought it, I even fell asleep in front of it a few times watching and listening to it. *I'm in need of a Miele Intervention*. When my partner returned from Antartica in March, he thought it was awfully small vs our LG. It's exactly 1/2 the capacity but washes so much better. It actually uses WATER! It's hefty build, and high quality components will outlast the LG's I had previously by 15 years I hope.

I will post more pictures of it and it's matching dryer and pedestals once I get the basement finished.

ha!

My husband definitely laughs at me for watching ours, too. But you have to, if you really want to learn what's going on with all the cycle options... and it's just fascinating.

I couldn't fall asleep watching ours, though... it's on a hard slate floor. Not so comfortable.

Andrew, that's great, but...

...wouldn't you rather have one of these?

 

[vacfanatic]

Ha

If it has a LED drum light and a wireless port, yes! LOL
