Miele W423 Deluxe Timer failed

[fredriksam]

Hi there AskoMiele. I,m sorry to say, that the timer in these old Miele machines cannot be opened. Also the problem you mention here are are quiet known of. I have repaired some Mieles with this problem. The only thing you can do is find a replacment. I dont think it will work with the 5402 timer. But if you find an w 429-433 it might work.

Fridriksam,

It can be opened. I don't have a lot of faith that it can be easily repaired.
But MIELE here in Munich says they have them in stock, so why not at least try?
That series washer should last forever, anyway.

Well panthera,
I've tried to open it but it is impossible. The copperrings are small tubes and are impossible to remove without breaking the housing... I gonna check out my spare timer and if that doesn't work just call miele and order a new one...

Bad news guys, So I replaced the timer and the first cycle went well, with ofcourse so manually advances. But the second cycle was a nightmare. When the machine reached here waterlevel a big bang and no power. The timer blew it selfs up... so I think its the end of this miele, I'll save some parts like pressureswitch and some hoses an door rubber gasket, but that's it. I'll have to look for a new old miele...
