Solution Summary

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

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.
