New Miele W1 intermittently switching on and off
- The problem
- A brand new Miele W1 washing machine, around two weeks old, was reported to keep switching on and off.
- Likely cause
- Most strongly supported explanation was an intermittent mains supply issue at the wall socket or a poorly seated plug. An internal machine fault was considered possible but not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- Check whether the machine loses all lights/power, make sure the plug is fully inserted, and try the appliance in a different wall socket. If the problem continues, the discussion advised booking a Miele engineer. No completed repair was confirmed.
- Checks to try
- Observed whether the lights go out
- Checked that the plug was plugged in properly
- Tried a different wall socket
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

If the lights are going out make sure it’s not the wall socket (they can cause intermittent power problems if a wire is loose at the back) or that the plug is plugged in properly. Try a different socket.
If not it would need a Miele engineer but it’s rare for a new Miele to be faulty so soon.
