Re: Mile novotronic 500 Drain pump keeps running

Hi again,
got the heater today and thought why wait till the weekend,got a spare hr let’s go for it!
Bit of brute force and leverage got the old heater off.
Carefully applied a bit of fairly liquid and gently placement as you said and got the new 2nd hand heater back in.
Poured a bit of water in as suggested and seemed ok.
reassembled and pressed the 40 degree button.
It works brilliantly.
Thanks for your help.that was £20 well spent!
Kind regards
Kidkool

Re: Mile novotronic 500 Drain pump keeps running

Thanks for that Martin.
I just prise the clips off then, and wiggle it a bit and pull and it should come off ?and refit with the same or get new clips ? to test for leaks,can I do that with the door off?

Re: Mile novotronic 500 Drain pump keeps running

Been offered a genuine mile water heater of a machine that’s been sold as spares on eBay for £20.00. probably go with that and change it.
Couldn’t see a way that the heater comes out,any ideas please?

Re: Mile novotronic 500 Drain pump keeps running

Hi Martin,
Blow OK.
Set my multimeter to 200ohms and put it across the 2 spade terminals with black wires(with the spade connectors removed) I left the earth connectors,underneath still connected. got no reading at all. connected the spade connectors back up,still got no reading. I then connected to the metal spring like washers behind the terminals where they are mounted to the heater,got readings but all over the show and not very accurate. so I know my multimeter was working correctly and I did nothing simple! Between the two spade connector terminals is a push plastic plug with very small black wires connected to it,I pulled that off and run the meter to the prongs,still no reading. What do you reckon?

Hi Martin,
Thanks for your reply,Located heater it looks ok. I have a multimeter do you know if I can check it and what reading it should be roughly to prove it needs replacing?

Re: Mile novotronic 500 Drain pump keeps running

got the machine sorted to a degree!
the pressure switch was clogged up with soapy crap.
Ended up getting a mile washing machine repair man in,(not from mile) after he left the heater isn’t working,phoned him to say heater wasn’t working,but he said the machine wouldn’t work if the heater wasn’t working,would that be right?

Re: Mile novotronic 500 Drain pump keeps running

Right I’ve sat in front of machine and this is what happens in separate rinse.
machine fills ok rotates a little then fills a bit more just like normal,empties fine pump works ok and rotates a bit more just like normal fills and repeats as before drains again fine leaving machine to go in to spin.
Machine doesn’t spin at full speed just rotates slowly and eventually anti crease light comes on and check inlet and check drain lights come on!
Clothes soaking wet.

Re: Mile novotronic 500 Drain pump keeps running

Had check drain light come on again this morning,still seems to freeze with some sort of motor running,in between different parts of a main wash. just finished main wash and check drain light was on. clothes wet and had not spun. put back into drain and spin cycle. machine started ie some sort of motor started ( not pump motor the noise just as you press the start button,the machine then didn’t spin or drain and finished with check drain light on. could the pump be blocked up,when I checked it it did turn freely. but there was an awful full lot of caked up soap in the waste pipes,I could even flush it thro in situ with a hose pipe,they had to be removed and banged and hosed to clean them that way. what about after the pump,before the waste pipe on the machine,could this area be blocked a bit. I’ve seen and heard the machine run thro a cycle already this morning,so I know it does drain properly. this was a heavy load though, bit annoying really.

Re: Mile novotronic 500 Drain pump keeps running

ok will do.
Just one thing,turned machine back on this evening,just now in fact ,put the machine into rinse,without clothes and it filled and drained ok. completed cycle in fact. I’m getting excited now!!
40 degree wash is in,bit late for the no clothes and hot wash,but will do after this finishes.
Thanks for the advice Muv.

Re: Mile novotronic 500 Drain pump keeps running

update update!
Took off waste pipes and ( there are two cos it’s been extended ) they were completely blocked with caked soapy hard grunge .
Finally got it all back together pipes clear and the anti crease and blinking soak/prewash still comes on straight away in separate rinse mode. and drain/ final spin,if you put the machine there straight away.
What do you now think the problem is?

Re: Mile novotronic 500 Drain pump keeps running

update :
Was still using machine until today,finished wash on 40 degrees and machine drained ok. got funny smell from machine. now when you put it on machine seems to work,but when in drain mode, pre wash light flashes,anti crease light on all the time and it doesn’t seem to drain.
What’s your thoughts please?
Drain pump gone????????

[Kidkool]

Re: Mile novotronic 500 Drain pump keeps running

OK,I think I can do that!
I’m not going to be able to do that,till the week end though,as I’m on my own with a 5 year old and he will have his fingers in every where!
In the mean time,let’s hope the machine still keeps plugging away!!!!!!
Thanks again for your help.
I’ll reply soon.

Re: Mile novotronic 500 Drain pump keeps running

Thanks for your reply,
Where’s the fluff filter?
The is a circular large screwed plug,which I have undone and although a bit caked up with soapy gundge,it’s clear in there.
Is it at the bottom,where the rectangle cover is?
I’ve had that out and cleaned behind it, the impeller directly behind that turns ok by hand.

Re: Mile novotronic 500 Drain pump keeps running

Seems to do it on all cycles,but sometimes it appears to be ok! it’s a bit difficult to explain,as you have got a humming sound when the pump is actually draining,and although sometimes it seemed a littler louder,now it appears ok. you have also got a motor type different sound just as the cycle has finished,immediately before it goes into anti crease mode. this is a similar sound to when you turn it on and start a cycle,all be it only for a few seconds. it’s this that sometimes just keeps going on and never stopping.
Lastly we have noticed the excess detergent light comes on more frequently now,although with little detergent being used. very weird!
