Miele Washing Machine Repair in Armidale

4th September 2026

This older Miele washing machine in Armidale had developed several faults after many years of regular use. Despite its age, it remains an excellent quality washing machine and was well worth repairing.

With the right repairs and preventative maintenance, premium appliances like this can continue performing reliably for many years.

Clothes Not Wringing Out Properly

One of the main problems was that clothes were not wringing out properly at the end of the wash cycle.

Fault finding showed that some auxiliary drain pipes had become blocked after years of general use. These blockages were restricting drainage and affecting the machine’s ability to complete the spin cycle correctly.

The affected drain pipes were cleared, restoring proper water flow and allowing the washing machine to spin and drain as intended.

Replacing Worn Drum Shock Absorbers

The drum shock absorbers had also reached the end of their service life and required replacement as part of general maintenance.

Shock absorbers help control movement of the washing machine drum during washing and spinning. After many years of use, they can wear out and allow excessive movement, vibration or instability during operation.

The worn shock absorbers were replaced to help restore smooth, controlled operation.

Repairing a Slow Water Leak

A water intake pipe was also found to have a small leak. Although minor at the time, this type of leak can slowly allow water to build up in the base of the washing machine.

If left unattended, the accumulated water could eventually trigger the machine’s flood protection system and result in a flood error.

The leaking intake pipe was replaced before the issue could develop into a larger fault.

Miele Washing Machine Working Well Again

With the drain pipes cleared, drum shock absorbers replaced and leaking water intake pipe repaired, the Miele washing machine is now working very well again.

This is a good example of why an older, high-quality washing machine can still be worth repairing. With proper servicing and maintenance, this machine is expected to provide more than 20 years of useful service.
