Hi Mike I'd already checked the heating element by putting the machine on a hot was when I was degunking it. And I'd also tested it on a cold wash. Same problem with both, fails to empty when full water load. Re picking up 2nd hand board, yes I would do that if it were me alone, if only for...

Hi Mike Well the multimeter arrived but by then I'd already booked an engineer so I left him to get on with it. And we he arrived, he blew pipes and quietly worked his way to the pressure switch and then got out his multimeter and ... he thought it was fine. That's the good news...

Thanks Mike Just had the back off to check that all connections were well seated and they seem fine to me. Yes, it's beginning to look like the pressure switch. It's not allowing draining when under pressure. From previously attaching another tube to the pressure switch and...

Hi Mike Multimeter has not arrived yet. (Hand pump wastepipe unblocker has arrived but I no longer need that!). Re contacs on pressure switch (TNR 1418664). Yes I did take a look (and photo). Seven wires: 11. Two Black wires, one of which goes to #21. 12. White. 13. Green-White. 21...

Thanks T, that was a great idea. Hadn't thought of it myself. Got my hopes up for a minute. Sadly, just had a look inside and no files bent only the concertina pipe under the drum and that is as it should be. Thanks for the thought. Neil

Hi Mike Thanks for the tips. Why the pressure switch appears to be doing the opposite of what it should do, foxes me completely! I’ve ordered a multimeter from ebay and apparently it’s been dispatched already. I’ll readup on how they work when it arrives ... ‘contact resistance <= 0.05...

Thanks Mike I like your idea of pressure escaping from the pipe slowly. And I agree with your logic as my thinking (if I had thought of that) would run the same way. However ... Having just finished cleaning out the gunk from the air dome which is connected via tube to the pressure switch I...

Hi Mike Thanks for your response. Here we go then ... When machine is full, it does not drain nor spin:- Machine seems to work right up to the rinse cycle. At the point where it should drain, it simply clicks through. When it gets to the final spin, it simply clicks through and leaves a pool...

Hi My washing machine (Miele W 754 S) wont drain when full but will drain and spin when most of the water has been removed! Once the pump is going I can recycle all the water that I've just removed from the drum, into the powder inlet and it will drain the lot) Worked fine for years up until...
