General problems with the washing machine
Problem
The washing machine
smells.
The machine shakes
during the spin cycle.
The laundry has not
been spun properly and
the laundry is still wet.
The pump makes
strange noises.
Large amounts of
detergent residue
remain in the detergent
dispenser drawer.
Possible cause and remedy
The indicator light lighting up and appearing in
the time display was ignored. A wash programme
using a temperature above 60°C has not been run for
a long time.
In order to prevent bacteria and unpleasant odours
building up in the washing machine, run the
Cottons 90°C programme using Miele
IntenseClean machine cleaner or a universal
powder detergent.
The detergent dispenser drawer was left closed after
washing.
Leave the detergent dispenser drawer slightly
open to allow it to dry.
The machine feet are not level.
Level the machine and adjust the feet correctly.
The machine detected an imbalance during the final
spin and reduced the spin speed automatically.
Include both large and small items in the load as
this will give better distribution.
This is not a fault.
These slurping noises occur at the end of the pump
sequence as a normal part of operation.
The water pressure is too low.
Clean the filter in the water inlet. Please note that
the water pressure must be at least 100 kPa (1
bar).
It may be useful to select the Water + Extra.
Powder detergent used with water softeners can be
sticky.
Clean the detergent dispenser drawer and in future
add washing powder and then add the water
softener.
