I have a Miele novotronic W807 (20 years without problem) yesterday started to make me this: Starts washing, draws water, it starts the main wash which takes too long (almost double time than ago) and when it's to go to the next step (rinse) crashes and then begins flashing the light of main wash(hauptwasche). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWdLHmf ... e=youtu.be 1. If i leave it so, the light blinks and then after half an hour, the machine proceeds to the next step (rinse) lamp lights for rinsing, but the light of the main wash keeps flashing and the machine completes normally all subsequent stages (rinsing, wringing, emptying). 2. If I close the laundry once stuck the light of the main wash, reopen it and go to the next steps manually, the light unstuck, and the machine works normally. Checked the filter, drain pump, pressure switch show all ok. Cleaned and all tubes but the problem remains. Thanks for any help.

Solution Summary

AI-generated from this discussion

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.

Miele Novotronic W 807 stalls on main wash with flashing wash light

The problem
Miele Novotronic W 807 begins a wash normally and fills with water, but the main wash stage takes much longer than before and then stalls before rinse. The main wash light flashes. If left, it may continue after about half an hour and then complete rinse, spin and drain. The user also reported a few occasions where it stopped during washing with the red 'Zu-/Ablauf prüfen' light flashing. Filter, drain pump, pressure switch and tubing were checked and cleaned, but the fault remained.
Likely cause
The accepted reply said that because the problem appears on the wash stage only, while rinses and spins work normally, a heating fault should be suspected. This was a diagnosis only, not a confirmed repair.
What fixed it
No confirmed repair was posted. The strongest supported recommendation was to investigate a possible heating fault. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
Checks to try
  • Checked filter
  • Checked drain pump
  • Checked pressure switch
  • Cleaned tubes
  • Observed that rinsing, spinning and emptying completed normally

Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Technical information on Miele error codes is not easily available. I definitely don't have any technical information on non UK models. If the issue is only on wash and rinses and spins work OK you would have to first suspect a possible heating fault.

Thanks for your fast reply. Everything looks that it works good (except the flashing light of main wash(hauptwasche)). The truth is that 3-4 times, the washing machine stopped working during the washing, and begins flashing the red light (pc Zu-Ablauf prufen). Then i close the laundry, reopen it and go to the next steps manually and the machine works normally.
