Help with Miele W1213!

18 years ago

I was doing a load of laundry and it looks like it stopped midway through the prewash cycle. I have three lines on the display like "- - -" and it won't stop beeping. After turning it on/off it still does the same thing. I checked the drain and nothing it blocking it. I emptied the drain at the bottom also and nothing is blocking the impeller. I was able to manually open the door and take out the soggy laundry but I don't know how to reset it. HELP!!

    I ended up calling Miele support and they told me to jiggle the light a little. I don't know if that's what solved it or just having it off for a few minutes (although I did that earlier and it didn't do anything).

    How do you display the fault code?

    I had the same problem recently when a sleave was caught at the door and water was leaking out. I could not restart as well because the machine keep draining due to intake and drain fault. I then open up the drain and take out the cap at the front bottom left. Some water was leaking out but you need to do more by tilting the machine forward to about 45 degrees , more if you can support it. More water came out. But I put the machine back and close the drain all the alarms normalized and I was able to use the machine again. Save 180 dollars because that is the cost of calling out a miele tech to just diagnosed the problem.

    This is an easy. This occurs because the drum light unit has gotten too much condensation in it and loses it's connection. To fix it, turn off the unit, open the door, grab a quarter or nickel, and using it, twist open the light unit, which is at the top of opening, remove the light bulb, and blow some dry air into the assembly and across the contacts. Reassemble and turn the unit back on and everything should be good.

    This happens enough for me that I keep a can of dry (sterile) air next to the washer.
