My 7 year old machine is "hammering" when it comes to the rinse cycle. Was told by a machine repairman that it could run like that for years! Then why, 3 loads later, is it getting worse?? Seems the "pros" have no answers unless they are pulling money out of your hand. Please help if you can. Thank you
i will assume the repairman did not pull the covers to inspect the unit, just gave you a verbal answer over the phone or in person, I am sure if you payed for a service call, he would have seen some broken balance springs/rods, or he did see them and said it would run ok...this will help me figure out your problem, also need the serial and model number off the sticker..thanksi will assume the repairman did not pull the covers to inspect the unit, just gave you a verbal answer over the phone or in person, I am sure if you payed for a service call, he would have seen some broken balance springs/rods, or he did see them and said it would run ok...this will help me figure out your problem, also need the serial and model number off the sticker..thanks

No. The unit most likely had some debris stuck in the macerator. The seals are water lubricated and its possible that some detergent dried between the seals. Detergent is a lot like glue when it dries. You are probably using the factory recommended amount of detergent which is, at least, twice the amount you really need. Next time you leave for an extended period, run the machine in the Rinse cycle. This will dilute or remove the detergent left in the machine
sometimes I have found if the arms are not freely going around then this can leave grit or if you have run out of rinse aide..the filters are usually in the bottom of the machine..hope this helps
hope you are using he detergents (high effeciency low suds) also if you have soft water oversudsing can occur even with he ..try reducing amount ..also have been told tide he detergent tends to suds more so may try switching detergent brands try runing washer with no soap no clothes begore next load to flush out any detergent that may remain ..be sure to run washer with bleach no clothes on short cycle peroidically to avoid mold/mildew odors that front loads tend to acquire after a few months use and leave door open if possible between uses..let me know about detergent thanks
you may be able to appeal to Miele's better nature by contacting them directly and requesting an extension to the warentee. In the bigger scheme it would really be nothing to them but good publicicty and customer service. worth a try anyways.
