Re: T8826 WP Heatpump Tumble Dryer – Clunking noise
for those that wanted to know once the compressor was replaced the problem went away however a year later the issue has returned so back on to Miele again. 🙁
Re: Miele Revolution 700
Paula8 is right.
I have posted elsewhere on this problem & have had to open up the handle casing several times over the past few years and re-tension/align the sprung contacts + clean ring surface and oxidised contacts that make contact with the mains supply metal hose rings. I think that this is a fundamental design issue. It is a combination of the following:
The cleaner being pulled along by the hose/handle
Wear associated with rotation of the hose within the handle
Oxidisation of the contacts & dirt on the surface of the steel hose rings & contacts.
This is no easy permanent solution to this unless there is a new design out there from Miele. Would be pleased to hear if there is.
Important: Before you take the casing apart please ensure you have unplugged the mains supply as the metal rings are immediately exposed and carry 240V. Don’t forget the screw in the plastic collar on the end of the handle. Also it can be quite fiddly to reassemble the hose in the casing as the are a number of parts inside and it is easy to pinch a wire when re-assembling.
