    no power on W1712 mile washing machine

  • Olivier Boennec Dec 15, 2019

    I sorted my problem as follows:
    Code F138 after I cleaned the drain filter but didn't close the drain properly. At the next wash the MIELE CLASSIC washing machine leaked; this filled the drain pan. Then I had error F138 with error lights indicating "Drain problem" and "water inlet" problem.
    The machine would not restart and the error wouldn't clear even after resetting because the "DRAIN PAN" had water in it. To FIX THE PROBLEM, I tilted the machine forward until the water in the drain pan came out. The float in the drain pan registered this and the error cleared.

    The MIELE Classic has a drain pan that collects water and bips an error to shut off water supply in case of internal leak and to protect the electrics. Empty it and the problem is fixed. I did however check the TWO water inlet filters (at BOTH ends of the feed HOSE, drain filter, drain pipe, drain flexi etc....

Just had the same problem, after Much patience and persistence I found the blockage at the y piece that joins the pump to the outlet hose air trap towards the top of the machine LHS with the top and cover off.

It was clogged solid therefore no back pressure on the top little ball valve (between the air trap and the outlet) therefore no seal therefore norain therefore a drain-fault that persists regardless of a cleaned pump filter.

Miele dishwasher G 5023 SC has fault code F 179 can't find any answers on line can anyone help. It washes dishes ok. Fault appears at end of programme am thinking drain hose?
The F179 fault code on a Miele dishwasher usually indicates an issue with the drainage system. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:
  1. Check the Drain Hose: Start by inspecting the drain hose for any kinks, clogs, or blockages. Ensure that the hose is properly connected and not damaged in any way. If you find any issues, clear the blockage or replace the hose if necessary.
  2. Clean the Filters: Remove and clean the filters inside the dishwasher. Accumulated debris in the filters can hinder proper drainage. Rinse the filters under running water to remove any food particles or residue.
  3. Check the Drain Pump: The drain pump is responsible for removing water from the dishwasher during the drain cycle. Make sure the drain pump is free of any obstructions. You can access the drain pump by removing the bottom panel of the dishwasher. If you find any debris or blockage, remove it carefully.
  4. Ensure Proper Installation: Verify that the dishwasher is installed correctly, including the drainage system. Ensure that the drain hose is properly connected to the drain pipe and that there is no obstruction in the plumbing system.
  5. Reset the Dishwasher: Try resetting the dishwasher by turning off the power at the circuit breaker for a few minutes. Then, turn the power back on and run a test cycle to see if the fault code clears.

Miele Touchtronic w1203 , the intake and drain fault indicator lights are both flashing at the same time
Seems that the inlet valve or water flow is low , check the inlet flow or check for clogged filter.
Also check the lint filter and the cache filter. remove and clean drain pump. This must solve the issue.

Hi my Miele W1712 washing machine is showing a F63 fault
The F63 is an error when something is blocking in the water path. I would suggest to open the front access drain flap and check for any objects like pins, coins etc. remove them and this should clear the error.

Miele Novotronic W 833 won't drain
hi,

if your washing machine drains into a spigot in the u bend under your sink you will probably find a blockage here. you need to remove the drain hose and have a look in the hole.

if not when you remove the fluff filter have a look in the hole and make sure the drain pump turns freely. you can also run a drain spin cycle with the fluff filter removed and make sure the drain pump is working.

Check drain keeps flashing and machine wont drain even though drain is not blocked. I have removed and cleaned out debris in the drain filter but the problem persists.
You need to check fault is not upstream from the filter/ is it the pump? thats jammed due to sock or coin also check hoses leading to the filter are clear..

Miele touchtronic 1113 washer
There is a float switch in a pan under the machine. This pan is probably full and the float switch is causing the Intake & Drain fault signal. You can lean the machine over to towards the front to partially drain the pan. Put a towel down to catch the water. When you put the machine level again the fault lights should be out. The real question is where did the water come from. You can easily remove the top (4 screws, 1 on each side behind the little plastic caps and 1 on each side of the back. Torx heads) and look down inside while you start the cycle. Look for leaks.
Good Luck,
Dan
