you may have sussed it now, but there is also a concertina hose on the top of the drum which connects to the right side of the dispenser. If it is clogged at either end, it air locks the drum and the water cannot run into the drum properly so it backs up and out of the dispenser.
usually poor air flow, the drying fan and /or its ducting channel are probably after 20 years, linted up . Awkward job stripping it to clean and some of the screws that hold the ducting together may be seized in by now…
Re: Miele W528 flashing rinse light
Bit late in the day this, but if one brush is worn and the other is OK, then you have a problem with the Commutator. The Brushes will wear out again fairly quickly. If the machine is less than 5 years old and you haven’t run up a huge amount of hours on the machine ( they have counters) you may find Miele could be accomadating ( they have a reputation to protect).
Re: Washing machine that does not vibrate too much
OK, despite the above info about balance detecting etc. the machine can be as solid as anything but on a floor that ‘moves’ it will always be a problem. The imbalance software detects imbalance in the drum, it can’t affect how your flooring moves.
If it really is chipboard flooring, even a well balanced load will ‘vibrate’. Get the flooring shored up and that will improve it.Re: dishwasher buying advice
Hi
just a quick input.
Most dishwashers work off a cold water connection and heat the water and there is a good reason for this. Most dishwasher powders, if not all of them are Biological and contain Enzymes. These are important in removing various soiling from the load i.e fats,proteins and carbohydrates, all of which you will find in food based soiling. However they only work between approx. 20- 40 degrees, so if you have a hot fill and it is over 40 degrees they become ‘de-natured’ – they don’t work. result is poor washes.
I ran our Miele ( 20 years old ) off a hot connection due to plumbing issues after we moved house, but recently changed it over to cold and hey presto vastly improved wash results ( as it used to be). So hot = cheaper to run, but not so gleaming results.
