Hi I have a Miele W304 Premier front load washing machine, it finished its last cycle fine, but now the door just won't click shut (it shuts all the way until the click, so the lights won't come on to launch the wash). Any ideas? Thanks!

Faulty cold inet valve most likely the problem or cold tap off Good luck

the drain pump may be blocked by a piece of debris - clean the filter out on the lower front of the machine and check for a obstacle blocking the pump.

Hi
Main wash is a fault indicator. The is a problem within the heater circuit, NTC, element, relay or loose wire. You will have to open front and check.
Remove 3 screw around dispenser and 3 10mm bolt around door. disconnect hose by drain pump and front of machine will open like a door.

I had a similar problem and about a week later it didn't wash at all.
Turned out the water inlet valve (one of the three) was faulty. The rubber seal/seat had a small hole and wouldn't open to allow water into the machine.
I wasn't prepared to pay the $213 for a new one so I went to our local appliance spares place and found one that was similar and used the rubber seal/seat from that to replace it. It was an electrolux single inlet valve part #360313 (from memory). Cost me $37. Could've got it for $22 delivered off ebay but I needed it asap.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
I would gently suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not even go to spin or release the door lock if there is any water still left inside.
Here are my complete guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)
-------------------------------------

If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!) and most are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play!

REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT!
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. If it doesn't work then the motor is malfunctioning!

Hope the filter is the problem and good luck!
