Re: Shallower depth dryer

Thanks for the quick response with useful info.

As you say Beko is not the best of makes but as the price of the whole machine is less than Miele would charge for a call out with small part supplied and fitted, there probably isn’t too much to lose! Though the Beko is possibly not one to trust to leave running unattended!

Re: Miele MT 2670 – stopped drying!

Thanks again for your help.

Took the top off the machine, and it did indeed just need a stat resetting.

Engineer will visit tomorrow to investigate the cause, and probably do the “pig of a job” – rather him/her than me!

Will update the thread if he/she finds anything interesting.

Re: Miele MT 2670 – stopped drying!

Thanks for the detailed response phil.

It is indeed the washer dryer. I’ll take the cover off, and have a poke around tonight (having disconnected from the power first). I also have found a local engineer who can visit on Monday if all else fails.

I presume the red button on the thermostat is an overheat safety cut off. Does this mean that even if it fixes the problem I should still get the engineer to visit and service the machine and look for underlying causes.

Thanks again – Rufus.

Re: Miele G646SC – stuck draining.

Just a quick update – looks like it was the drip-tray. Mine had a few mms of water that felt a little soapy to the touch!

Brief instructions for accessing it (in case anyone has the same problem):

1) Unplug the dishwasher from the mains.
2) Remove the 2 plastic square (6×6″)covers either side of the machine at the bottom just behind the door. Pull lower half away from machine to clear lugs, then slide to clear clip at top.
3) Remove white kick panel under the door – grab at lower edge, and it should simply pop off.
4) Beneath the kick panel there should be a rectangular silver panel the length of the machine secured by 2 philips screws just behind the door. You’ll need a stubby screwdriver!
5) Once unscrewed raise the panel 1/2cm to clear the clips at the bottom, and it’s clear to remove.
6) The drip-tray is then clearly visible – remove any excess water (I used a sponge) and re-assemble the machine in reverse order being careful not to cut your fingers or get the soundproofing wedged!

I’ll keep an eye on the machine over the next few weeks to see whether it’s a one off, or if a slow leak has formed!

Thanks Dave,

I’ll give it a go tonight, and will post again if it fixes, and/or the problem reoccurs.

Re: Reduced depth tumble dryer?

Thanks for the suggestion don, hadn’t even thought about moving the washing machine – doh! The Bosch does look interesting, I might try and find one in the flesh to have a prod at.

Thanks again – Rufus.
