The high build quality of Miele washing machines allows the manufacturer to give a 20-year warranty. But this does not mean that the washers never break.
Failures occur that the user can repair with their own hands. If you are interested in how to perform an independent repair of the Mile washing machine, read this article.
Causes of SMA Miele Problems
Mile washing machine components are produced only at the company's factories, so there is no doubt in their quality and originality. Then why do the washers fail?
The causes of the malfunction are improper operation, unstable voltage in the network, during sudden surges of which a short circuit of the electronic components of the SM occurs.
One of the main reasons is hard water with impurities, which affects the heating element. The heater builds up with scale, as a result of which it can not only break itself, but also disable the control module.
To help you better understand the causes of MIA Miele breakdowns, consider the table that lists the trouble codes and their meaning.
Error codes CM Miele
Self-diagnosis of washing machines allows you to quickly calculate the breakdown and try to fix it. When the system finds a malfunction, error codes are displayed on the display of the Miele Revolution washing machines and other models.

The drain pump of the Mile machine does not function
How can the user understand that the CM pump is faulty? Waste water will not drain from the tank.
This may indicate not only a problem with the pump, but also its blockage - the drain pipe and filter could also clog. Consider the possibility of self-repair of Miele washing machines.
Start checking items in order of priority:
- Disconnect the CM from the network, turn off the water supply.
- Open the hatch on the front panel below.
- Unscrew the drain filter located behind it.
- Clean it from clogging.
- Replace the filter.
To get to the drain pipe and pump in the Millet washing machine, you will have to remove the front panel. Do it yourself repair:
- Remove the top cover of the washer by unscrewing the two screws on the back.
- Take out the detergent tray, unscrew the bolts behind it.
- Remove the bottom panel by first draining the remaining water from the filter.
- After opening the door, remove the metal collar of the manhole cuff.
- Disconnect the lock connectors.
- Remove the remaining bolts securing the housing and remove it.
- Substitute a water tank before removing the nozzle.
- Loosen the pipe clamps, release the pump harnesses.
- Turn off fixing bolts, remove the pump with a branch pipe.
Miele washing machine pressostat defective
This sensor is responsible for monitoring the water level in the tank. When it fails, the washer can give an error of water intake, the signal "Empty tank" or "Overflow of water."
Unfortunately, the sensor cannot be repaired. But it is not difficult to replace it with a new device.
- Having removed the top panel of the SM, at the side wall you will notice a pressure switch.
- Disconnect the hose from the sensor and check for blockage.
- Remove the pressure switch and disconnect all wires from it.
- Installing a new part proceeds in reverse order.
No water heating in Mile's car
If the washing takes place in cold water, and the laundry is washed poorly - the reason is the failure of the heater. The heater is also replaced through the front panel (we already wrote how to remove it).
Further:
- Below under the tank you will notice protruding outlets of the heater.
- It is necessary to release all the clamps and disconnect the wires.
- Loosen the center nut and push the bolt inward.
- Prying the edges of the heater with a screwdriver, remove it from the machine.
- Install a working heater for the Miele washing machine.
Drum does not rotate
Do you start the washer, but the drum does not spin, or did the program stop in the middle of a cycle? This indicates the wear of the drive belt, which transmits engine speed by rotating the drum.
Sometimes the belt falls off the pulley of a Miele top-loading washing machine. In any case, you need to inspect and, if necessary, install a new belt.
- Remove the left panel of the housing.
- Inspect the drive belt.
- If it slid or got damaged, install a new element.
- Put the belt on the engine pulley first.
- Then, turning, onto the pulley of the drum.
- Replace the panel.
Incorrect motor operation
If you notice that the washing drum drastically changes the speed and direction of movement, the reason lies in the engine tachogenerator. This part is responsible for the engine speed, allowing you to adjust them for individual programs.
Checking the tachogenerator in the Mile washer:
- The tachometer is located on the shaft of the electric motor.
- Attach the probe of the multimeter to the contacts of the sensor, measure the resistance.
- The normal value is 70 ohms (± 20 ohms).
In the event of a malfunction, the sensor cannot be repaired; it can be replaced with your own hands.
Electronics malfunctions
Electronics problems are best not to be repaired by yourself. To do this, you need not only the electronic circuit of the Miele washing machines, but also the skills of such a repair.
The components of the module are made using modern technologies, so even to test it, you will need to connect to a computer. We recommend contacting a service center for help.
Having understood the malfunctions of Miele washing machines, you can try to repair them yourself. If the car is still under warranty, it is wiser to contact a specialist.
Remember to adhere to safety precautions during work.
