Any Miele washing machine engineers in?

[Bee_Jay]

Hi,

Vain hope here...

My Miele W 489i WPS has just started beeping for a fault while flashing the Soak/Pre-wash light.

Manual troubleshooting guide says if it persists to call an engineer - it's persisting...

Have drained it and checked the fluff filter. With previous machines I have done most things including replacing motors, brushes, pumps and hoses.

Any clues? - Google is not being my friend here...

Does it not have some sort of lifetime guaratee being a Meile?

I know our vacuum has something like that. recently the suction head went wrong so Mrs Pee phoned up and they instantly sent another one, totally free of charge.

No, my knob was NOT stuck in it

Just bid £12 for an answer - will see how it goes...

Still wondering if anyone on here knows if it is something simple...

Soak and prewash flashing indicate a problem with the pressure switch/sensor.

You'll need to gain access to the inside of the appliance, hopefully your version has a lid that comes off.

Locate the pressure switch and take the thin tube attached to it off. Blow down this tube to shift any blockage, refit and try again.

£12 < £92 Miele call-out charge... Bargain.

Ha, so much for those 'I've had a Miele since 1876 and it still works perfectly' threads

Sorry, being flippant. Hope you get it fixed.

Indeed - TBH it is usually pretty specific with it's error messages, the manual is pretty good.
