More Fresh Heck From Miele - No More DIY Access To Spares.

Just did a quick test....

When on "Woolens" timer once advanced into spin does so and behaves normally. That is machine spins for proper amount of time, then timer advances as it should to stop cycle and shut machine off.

Timer will not advance on its own in "graduated spin" for any cycle. But when advanced (manually) into spin if one moves timer to proper area it will coast down from spinning, stop motor, then after bit timer will advance into "loosening", then machine stops totally.

At this point am confused, wish knew exactly what each timer motor controlled. That is one motor for "rapid advance", and other for counting off time.

Is it possible the problem is not the timer but the programme selector? You should be able to let the timer progress to another step by selecting the wool cycle, is that assumption right?

To add to the thought running thu this thread, our 2006 vw golf has an “immobiliser” issue. Renders car unusable, a very common vw problem. Long story short after a dealer re-flash of the ecu the problem resurfaced. The best fix is to send the ecu off to a specialist who can turn off the immobiliser (anti theft) which is located therein with special software and know how.
When my tools get here next week (fingers crossed) I will undertake removing the ecu and posting it to the specialist who promises a quick turn around. They plug it in to their computer, check the “off” box on the screen, and mail it back and pocket about $130 usd in the process.
Such abuse I consider a German product tax that I try to anticipate and deduct from the purchase price.
Others seem to as well as older German cars are cheap here, same age Toyotas can fetch twice as much.

Parts restrictions:

In recent years have had to deal with such nonsense from the local Hobart office. For a time they closed their will call parts desk so anything you needed required shipping. Their excuse was that technicians from other companies were getting parts and going to repair their equipment before they could get there. Fortuneatly this has changed and Hobart sells parts to the public again in the Twin Cities.

Launderess....no, unfortunately I have not.  It still works, just needs a little help along.  I have the timer...just haven't had the time (or energy since Covid hit at work).
