OK thanks oops, interesting to know. I am not sure of the age of these respective machines. I hope they predate what you mentioned. That would be a clever move by Miele?
John Deere engaged in a practice that effectively prevented the operators (farmers) from doing their own maintenance/repairs. Consequently, the farmers took JD to court & won,

My last Meile developed a fault after about 18 months- 6 months outside of the warranty. I argued my case about it not having been of merchantable quality- long story short- they sent an engineer out who was able to, with the aid of his laptop, confirm how long the machine had been in use.
When my mum replaced hers, the engineer used his laptop to set the machine to wash as quickly as possible, rather than as economically as possible.
Apropos the John Deere case, they didn't give end users access to the software, they agreed to let third party repairers have limited access subject to contracts that prevent those independants from releasing trade secrets or from tinkering with emissions related settings.
It is a step in the right direction though.
The right to repair legislation is still very scant/patchy.

oops! Sorry opps I didn’t mean to misspell your ID. A case of analogue digits on digital devices.
OK, I thought the matter was resolved in court, perhaps not. I recall a media report re the Aussie farmers having a win etc etc. Intrigues me how some major companies seemed to be prepared to forego their intellectual property when entering the Chinese market. I wonder if getting a stake in that market is worth far more than the value of intellectual property.
