Hello,
Somebody kindly gave me a Miele W3824 washing machine that they no longer wanted with a disclosed fault. Upon running it, it works but then when it tries to fill it gives up after 10 seconds or so with a water inlet fault. The aquastop on the inlet hose appears to be buzzing when this happens. The aquastop is resin potted so I cannot easily disassemble/reasemble. If I am in the room at the time, the act of turning off and on the 3/4″ tap appears to start water flowing again. Whilst less effort than washing the clothes myself, it is a manual step I would like to remove. So I am tempted to try and replace the aquastop but want to find out if anybody else had come across this issue and whether there is anything more that I can check before I order this replacement part (not cheap). I’ve messed up on diagnosis for other things before so am keen to improve. Part number of the aquastop is 06450460 (specs 1-10bar, 10l/min, Tm max 60C, type 902).

It probably is the Aquastop hose that’s duff but, it’s a Miele only part so you might need to sell a kidney or something to afford one.

its a risk but at that price might be worth a punt

I purchased that aforementioned Aquastop. Different part number but I couldn’t see any physically or technical difference between the parts. Even swapped over the outershething that was broken on the purchased part and it fitted perfectly fine. This week I’ve had a chance to test the replacement aquastop and it has cured the water inlet fault that I was seeing. Incidentally and I don’t know if it matters, but the coil resistence on the old aquastop was really high, my autoranging multimeter measures 0.95MOhms. The new replacement was around 20kOhms.
