    I think you got the wrong end of the stick there, ekkostar

    the adam hornsby issue has been burning for some time
    he keeps appearing, and as soon as the word miele is mentioned, he quotes chapter and verse out of a miele book

    he knows NOTHING about them, other than some kitchen firm he worked for on work experience fitted them in their kitchens

    hes a student, he does cad (and from what we’ve seen, not very well), and therefore has NO experience in the whitegoods field, whatsoever

    no1 disputes the issues youve brought up.. u asked for opinions, you got them.. was never going to be easy.. i cant comment on ise machines, never even seen one, never mind worked on one, im an engineer, have been all working my life, but i dont sit in computer forums spouting stuff i have little knowledge of

    unlike that hornsby, who just winds people up

    its been an interesting discussion.. in essence, it proves that every person is different, with differing needs, and financial situations dictate peoples choices.. not everyone can or would throw £600 plus on a washing machine

    ultimately you got what u needed, miele machines are very good, yet lack in customer service, as one day im sure youll find

    valid points were made here, such as, why did you ultimately find the guy who came to your machine more knowledgeable than any of the engineers on here.. sometimes, you got to try and bare in mind some of the guys on here have won awards, and are well recognised for their contribution to the white goods industry, some in the job for 30 years and above.

    healthy debate is always good here on ukwhitegoods, but sometimes a fine line has to be drawn as to whether the information supplied is useful.. adam hornsby crosses that line on every occassion he posts, he knows it, see the last line of his post, but he does it anyway

    as always , we can only be honest.. it isnt always what people want to hear, but ultimately, any decision is made by you, the consumer

    good luck

    dont fall for the hotpoint trick either, its an indesit in disguise

    avoid the haier at all costs.. go for a bosch

    getting more too common this… spend some money, and get a proper machine!

    do yourself a favour long term

    not sure, but you can test its function by putting it in a cup of hot water and watching the resistance change

    bet your boards faulty

    but it might be worth checking the heater as well

    well, the motor isnt turning,
    is it humming?
    it could just be the capacitor
    but, it may be the motor
    thing is, that dryer is 50 times better than any of the current hotpoint range

    if you decide to change it, buy a zanussi

    BUT, as jim says, if its over 2 years old, then u need to check the drums run on pads, not wheels

    its the front fan

    when you take the condenser out, theres less resistance to the airflow, thats all.

    might be worth checking the pump, thats the usual suspect

    is it a wf860 or a wd860

    if its stuck on a minute, theres something it hasnt done

    worth checking the heater , thats the usual suspect if im honest

    plug out if checking!
