Common Miele Washing Machine Faults
Whether you have a top load or front load washing machine there are similar reasons why your appliance won’t start. These include:
A faulty power supply – this could be due to issues with the socket or fuse. Or the circuit breaker. An electrician will diagnose the source and fix it for you if necessary.
A defective door switch – this safety feature ensures the door is fully closed and locked before the washing machine starts. The switch is located in the door frame where the door shuts – and the strike needs to engage properly into the door lock assembly. And this may need replacing if there’s no continuity.
The lid switch is another safety device located under the lid of top loader washing machines. If the switch is pressed but there’s no power it is most likely to be faulty. And need replacing.
If the timer knob has suffered wear and tear it won’t be able to properly engage the timer shaft. This will result in the machine being unable to start as a worn knob causes slippage.
The drive motor may make humming sounds as it becomes ineffective. And there may be issues with the transmission or even the pump.
Finally, the main electric control board may be the culprit. And that controls every component in the washing machine. If the board is burned or damaged it will need replacing professionally.
