Hi there, we have had a Miele W449 washing machine for quite some time and it has been a true work horse.
The problem has started a few months ago shortly after a Miele engineer changed our door/ drum seal at a special Miele price. Anyway back to the problem at hand.
Wash cycles are taking nearly twice what they are supposed to. For example the express cycle takes nearly an hour when the machine says it should take 30mins.
A point that might be useful or not is that it sits with 20mins left for the majority of the long wash (express).
Also the machine is starting to smell and we now wash the machine on 95C cotton wash to keep this down.
I have checked the following:
Inlet - not blocked
Drain pump - clear of debris
Machine is level
Is there anything to check or change / replace inside? I don't mind opening up and repairing, including soldering.
Some help or suggestions would be welcome
Thanks in advance, Nath
