Check drain light. machine won't open
You probably have a bad drain pump and the door lock wont release because of it. You're gonna need to replace the drain pump and if there's water in the machine, it's going to be a messy repair. I'd recommend a repair man on this job. If not order the drain pump for that model off the internet, take the top off, take the soap dispenser out, take the screw out, take the display board off carefully. Then take the front off, unscrew the door switch. on the door seal, use a flat head to take the ring out. If you got a drain at the bottom, take those screws out. Remove the door. There's going to be water everywhere if you didn't drain it out the front (if it's an option.) Replace the drain pump. (Kind of a little puzzle on every model.) Put it back together.
Fuse keeps blowing
Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
Sorry but with such a fault it is extremely difficult for anybody on this forum to remotely guess what is wrong with your washer. It could be internal wiring/plugs sockets, control panel switches, control PCB.
I fear that your only real option is a service call as the engineer will have the right equipment to safely diagnose what is wrong.
If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

You cant.
Servicing i done via the removable lid or the opening in the underside.

Hi
You'll have to check the drain pump assembly located inside
the bottom front panel of the unit. Take it out and clean it completely to
solve the issue. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

The rubber gasket has gotten
Use a solution of bicarbinate of soda in water to remove the mould. If that does not work you can purchase a mould remover for bathroom tiles that will do a better job.
It is recommended to leave the door open when the machine is not in use so that any residual moisture will evaporate and you will not have this problem in the future.
Check drain light comes on & washer does not
Check the drain line for kinks or obstructions. Check the pump. Remove the hoses from the pump and use a flashlight to look into the suction port. Make sure nothing is clogging the pump, like the occasional stray piece of clothing, and check the pump impeller. Make sure there are no broken or missing blades and that the impeller will spin freely. If any blades are broken/missing or if you can't get the impeller to spin freely, the pump is defective. Hopefully it's just a clogged drain line, pump, or jammed impeller. Really sorry for your trouble and I hope this helped. Best wishes.
There is a really bad smell in my washing machine.
If burned rubber or insulation you can tell. Burning smell
Just bad odour can be from clogged filter, clean it periodically.
When not regularly cleaned and use on 30 -40 degree celsius, fungus becomes a problem. You can try cleaning the soap box and compartment with ttootbrush (old). And run the machine hot empty. When over the years fungus got everywhere, you need to disaassemble all or buy a new one. Don't try aggresive cleaners.
Also you might have a problem to the waterlock to your sewer. Check hose.
Red light flashing
red light is check drain?
Clogged by something.
Could be a coin.
Use to have large coin when i was young and forgot remove from my jeans. So mum made me repair that every time. In that case filter clean, but coin bloking filter inlet.
Not necesarily coin in your case.
never buy these deals over Ebay my advice.
If you have the machine already then this is first to look for.
Leak from Novatronic W310
Bit the bullet and stripped out the covers from the unit so as to observe where the leak was coming from. Ran m/c on a basic quick wash (be careful, exposed live electrical terminals!!!) and noticed that water came from the detergent drawer for a second or two.
Stripped out detergent drawer housing and found that the large discharge pipe underneath was very blocked with black/white residue. Presume that this had been dislodged from the walls of the pipework during the house move.Removed residue and reassembled unit & ran, OK.
Saved myself £100 call out. Give Miele their due though, the documentation suggests that if you habitually wash at a low temperature, which we do, you should occasionally run a 95degree wash. My wife was very surprised when I asked her if she did this.
