    Nice find!
    Our Miele W436 is 32 years old, still brilliant, ZERO service calls. Yea, it was expensive to buy, we know "Quality is remembered, long after price is forgotten".
    Our Miele dishwasher is 35 years old, still perfect, oven is perfect, hotplates perfect, vacuum cleaners, all good.
    Miele is always "money well spent".
    Great video, thank you!

    You should try service mode/ configuration mode.
    If you hold start and press power and then press thr start 3 times itll go into service mode which will show its hours used and does basic tests. Config mode lets you configure loads like spin speed, water level usage, what waterplus does. Dandy things. Miss my miele
    (Config mode is hold start, power on and press 5 times

    Based on what has been said by repairers, your example will likely be far better made than Miele's current models. It really is crazy someone would throw it out when it is still working to likely replace it with an inferior product.

    What a nice find! Love the stainless steel design. It might be 16years old, but can totally compete with new ones in terms of energy/water efficiency. PC is the location to connect the service PC (or whatever Miele technicians use for diagnosing errors or software updates).

    Nice washing machine. I had collected 2 washing machines that had no apparent fault: One was an It Wash, which I found out had become so rusty, that the body caved in, making it shake, and the other one was a Telefunken (Vestel), which seemed quite new, and worked well. After just 1 week at my house, the programme seemed to glitch and there was no way to reset it or anything, it just froze on one programme.
