miele novotronic w939 washing machine

hi, it flashes the water inlet light midway through a wash. It has a triple solenoid inlet valve, one of the solenoids reads 3.8 the other two read exactly 1.0. I would have thought they would have all been about the same.
Also surprised if they were both faulty that they would both have the exact same reading.
anyone have nay experience with these I was worried about sticking a couple of solenoids on to try it.

assume you are taking K ohms and 1K does seem very low. Have you checked valve voltages to make sure they are 240

is there another valve at the tap end of the fill hose ?

yes sorry K ohms there is a valve at the tap end just a bit surprised both were 1k

chances are then that the valves are 110 volt and they use 2 in series when energised

you say it flashes half way through, is it still fillingwith water at the time ?

If you have WPS inlet valve (those valve at the begining of inlet hoses) than that’s for 110v.

Pehaps he doesn’t enought pressure and gives missing water error.
He has to activate “low water pressure” option.

How can you activate the low pressure option ?

there is nothing in the owners manual I can see

Just in programming mode or with interface.
