Re: Leaking inlet valve on dryer side of Miele WT 945 wash/d

Thanks for the advice Dave – I wasn’t sure whether disassembling the valve was possible but as you said, the coil is easily removed by prising it up and then carefully pulling, and the stem then unscrews 🙂

The diaphragms look fine (no splits) but I noticed that the rubber end of the metal plungers have a distinct depression where they’ve sat pressed against the valve opening for years – I suspect this is the cause of the leak. For now I’ve cleaned everything and reassembled (there’s no leak now) but I’m planning to buy a generic valve and see if the plungers are the same size – if so I’ll swap the new ones into the Miele valve (or maybe just swap the rubber ends if that’s a better option).

I’ll post here with a conclusion when I’ve done so!

Re: Miele WT945 filling slowly when turned off

Hi – no, the water pressure is good (the supply is tee’d directly off the cold mains) and the machine fills at a good rate when in use…
