Re: Miele G 646 SC PLUS Drying Fan filled with crud
To clean the tube the Miele man had a sort of giant syringe with a “needle” fat enough to connect to the drain tube. This is filled with water and used to flush the crud from the tube. I don’t have one of these and cannot suggest where you might buy one.
From what I remember you need to open the door casing – the Miele engineer made a point of NOT removing all of the screws, simply enough screws to get inside the door – having just checked mine I think that will be the four screws across the top and then the top two on each side. The tube drains condensation from the fan into the detergent dispenser – this is where the crud will be. I think he disconnected the topmost i.e. fan end of the drain tube, filled the syringe with clean water and connected the syringe to the tube and flushed the crud, maybe repeating this several times. Then he disconnected the the bottom end of the drain tube and connected this to the syringe, and connected what was the top end of the tube to the detergent dispenser. The flushing was repeated.
Finally when cleaned, the tube was disconnected and reconnected the original way around, and the door reassembled.
Apologies if I haven’t remembered this clearly; I did watch what he did but already realise I should have taken t a couple of photos!
Re: Miele G 646 SC PLUS Drying Fan filled with crud
Thanks to both for your advice. In fact last Friday Miele UK generously sent a service engineer to do the job described by Kentish with me having to pay just for his time (no call-out fee because I recently had an unrelated call-out). Also he showed me how to do the job so if the problem repeats, I can now fix it myself.
Result – happy customer!
