    Hi, I have a Miele W731 in fantastic condition. However, the machine has started making a knocking noise on the spin. Has anyone any idea what the problem could be.

    Also, can any recommend a good engineer in the Oldham area.

    Thanks

    the hope is the shock absorbers have failed if its anything else it could get expensive

    Hi Dave.

    Thanks for reply. I know the machine is getting on in years now, but it looks brand new. I wondered if the machine is worth spending money on to repair it. How many shock absorbers does the machine have as ebay has some miele parts.

    Cheers

    machine will have 2 shocks

    you can get an idea if they have gone by

    unplug machine
    remove lid
    place you hands on top of the drum
    now push down and let go on the drum ( you are trying to bounce the drum like a ball)
    if drum bounces easily then shocks have gone if not may be the bearings

    Hi. I managed to buy shock absorbers for my machine and fitted them. The machine is working great. Hoping to get a few more year out of the machine.
