Miele WKG 130 - NDS TwinDos maintenance only works on container 2

The problem

On a Miele WKG 130 - NDS washing machine, the TwinDos maintenance cycle would run using a TwinDosCare container in container 2, but when TwinDosCare was placed in container 1 the machine repeatedly displayed 'there's not enough detergent/water in the container. Repeat process'. The issue reportedly occurred six times.

Likely cause

The accepted reply suggested that, if the containers are clean and correctly fitted, the most likely cause is a fault in the device or system that checks TwinDos container levels. This was presented as a likely diagnosis rather than a confirmed component failure.

What fixed it

The only action supported in the discussion was to clean the containers and ensure they are properly in place. If the fault remains, the thread points to a likely level-detection fault; no documented method was provided to force use of container 2 on every wash. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Checks to try

• TwinDos maintenance tested with a TwinDosCare container in container 2
• TwinDosCare container tried in container 1
• Display message reported: 'there's not enough detergent/water in the container. Repeat process'
• Issue repeated six times
• Containers should be cleaned and checked for correct positioning
