First call this morning to fit a new heater to this washing machine.
Never fitted a heater on a Miele machine before. Give me the everyday style of heater any day.
Ive still got my fingers crossed that it will all hold in place & not leak.I was so unsure that I filled the drum full of water whilst I still had the front off.
The concern was, did I push the new grommet in as far as I should. The old grommet was so chewed up by the time I had got it out I couldn’t see what part of the grommet had been inside or outside the machine. Then the fun of putting the new clamps over the ends of the element and getting them tight without the element pushing back in……
I need a lie down just thinking about it.
Re: Miele W526
yes it always amazes me how Miele heaters stay in and not pop out. Having said that, never had one come out or even leak so somehow it works. I just follow the marks on the old heater to position everything, if you have not pushed it in enough, the ntc will not fit as it hits against the return loop of the heater and as for those horrid clips…
Perhaps a Miele trained engineer might want to come on and elaborate the correct way to do it.Re: Miele W526
Thanks for reply. Glad its not just me. The fact that the old one was so difficult to remove baffles me. On normal heaters the grommet is spread by the force of you tightening the nut, so I can understand why its difficult to remove the heater. Do you think Miele use a rubber which expands slightly when in contact with water?
