Not at all, your rational is spot on and well worth consideration. 😀

But if I may point out some of the “small print” that comes with such a purchase with such a long extended warranty BEFORE one parts with ones money. 🙁

The guarantee does NOT cover parts that are considered BY THE MANUFACTURER as being in the often ill defined category of “fair wear & tear”. 😕

It is difficult to assertain a specific definition in this regard but very often includes such internal components as belts, brushes, gaskets and items regarded as likely being subjected to “external forces” such as hard water limescale, items left in pockets, missue of detergent, overloading and fluctuating electricity supplies etc etc. All of which will be fully chargeable to you the owner and those charges may be very costly indeed?

Just something else to bear in mind (factoring and stuff) 🙄

Nothing in life is FREE, you are paying a much higher price for it after all. But Miele are a good product anyway, so if you can afford the outlay…. :tup:

Factoring and purchasing equations? Oh! you got me there 🙄 ‘ang on! I’ve got a Scientific pocket calculator and a thesaurus here somewhere…………? 😕

Sounds like the ribbon cable between the 2 control modules may need replacing? Best left to the experts in all honesty.

You could try a local independent repairer here:-Repairs@

Oh yes they are, moisture content is significantly improved the faster capability your machine can go (a current model by Gorenje now has even broken the 2000rpm barrier Model WA65205 😉 )

kwatt wrote:You also have to deal with increased ironing due to the higher spin, so you may well end up back in the red with your cost equations even without factoring in the time wasted ironing

Ah well that shouldn’t happen if the user reads the User Instruction Booklet :rtm: and selects the correct programme options to overcome this problem (i.e Rinse Hold, Small Load, Economy Temperature or Gentle Spin buttons) 😉

Sorry no reset button, the element the most likely fault (also T/stats and timer contacts can fail giving same symptoms).

Try Repairs@ for expert help 🙂

Re: WMA bearing change

Welcome to the site Paul 😀

The WMA bearing change is slightly more involved than the WM series. Access is the same, the shock absorber pins are a bit tricky at first but I am sure with a decent pair of grips you’ll suss that one 😉

All comes out the front just the same though and no special tools required :tup:

Re: Carbon Brush

Ac/Delco brushes perhaps? (Hotpoint 9900 W/dryer Fan Motor?)
