Miele W1 WMB120 Washing Machine Details

The Miele W1 WMB120 Washing Machine features a sophisticated control panel with a display and various intuitive sensors. Key controls include the Start/Stop button for program initiation and cancellation, a Temperature button for precise heat selection, and a Spin Speed button to adjust RPM. The Delay Start button allows scheduling of wash cycles up to 24 hours in advance, enhancing convenience and energy management. Navigation through menus and value adjustment is intuitive, utilizing the ? and > sensors, with the OK sensor confirming selections.

Additional Option buttons enable users to tailor wash programs with extra features, and the Programme Selector rotary dial offers easy access to various washing cycles. The standard display prominently shows crucial information: the programme duration, selected wash temperature, and chosen spin speed. For advanced detergent use, the Cap sensor activates the CapDosing system, streamlining specialized detergent application. To conserve energy, the appliance automatically switches off 15 minutes after a program ends or after being idle if no selections are made.

The Miele W1 WMB120 promotes environmentally conscious and economical washing by encouraging users to maximize load size for each program. For smaller loads, an automatic load recognition system intelligently adjusts resource use, preventing waste. Leveraging modern detergents allows washing at lower temperatures, such as 20 °C, significantly reducing energy. Accurate detergent dosage, avoiding excess, not only saves resources but also prevents excessive foam, which can lead to poorer wash results and increased water usage due to additional rinse cycles.

Proper laundry preparation is crucial for optimal results and machine longevity. Users must empty all pockets to prevent foreign objects from damaging garments or internal components. Pre-treating heavily soiled areas or stains with liquid detergent or stain removers is advised, observing manufacturer instructions, while avoiding solvent-based cleaners directly on the machine. Laundry should be sorted by colour and care label, with dark textiles washed separately initially due to excess dye. Fasten zips, Velcro, hooks, and ensure duvet covers are closed to prevent items from getting tangled.

The machine offers several versatile options to customize wash cycles. Pre-ironing reduces creasing at the end of a programme, especially effective with reduced loads. The Short option is ideal for lightly soiled items, decreasing wash duration. Water plus increases water levels in wash and rinse stages, useful for sensitive skin or excessive foam. For heavily soiled or protein-stained items, the Soak option can be selected for durations from 30 minutes to 5 hours. Pre-wash is beneficial for laundry with significant dirt, such as dust or sand.

Maintaining the Miele W1 WMB120 ensures longevity and optimal performance. The drum should be cleaned regularly using the 'Cottons 75°C' programme and powder detergent to prevent bacteria and odours, prompted by 'Hygiene info'. The external casing and fascia panel are easily cleaned with a mild, non-abrasive agent. The detergent dispenser drawer requires periodic cleaning due to potential mould and bacteria build-up from low-temperature washes or liquid detergents. Miele's water protection system, comprising a pressure-tested inlet hose, an electronic unit, and a ventilation-protected drain hose, safeguards against water damage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can't find the answer you need? Here are some frequently asked questions about the Miele W1 WMB120 Washing Machine, and we answer them below.


Why won't my washing machine start, and the display is dark?
Check if the mains plug is properly connected and switched on, or if a fuse/circuit breaker has tripped. The machine may have also automatically switched off to save energy; press the ⦶ button to turn it back on.

What should I do if the display asks for a code?
If access via a code has been activated, enter the code and confirm. You can deactivate this setting in the "Settings" menu if you prefer not to use it for future operations.

The display shows 'Water intake See 📖'. What does this mean?
This indicates a blocked or restricted water inlet. Ensure the stopcock is fully open, the inlet hose isn't kinked, and water pressure isn't too low. Also, clean the filter in the water inlet valve.

My machine displays 'Drainage See 📖'. How do I fix this?
The water outlet might be blocked or restricted, or the drain hose is fixed too high. Clean the drain filters and pumps. Remember, the maximum delivery head for drainage is 1 meter.

What if 'Waterproof syst.' appears in the display?
The Miele water protection system has been activated. Immediately close the stopcock and contact the Service Department for assistance.

What does 'Hygiene info' mean at the end of a programme?
This message reminds you that a hot wash (above 60 °C) hasn't been run for a while. To prevent bacteria and unpleasant odours, run the 'Cottons 75 °C' programme with Miele machine cleaner or a powder detergent.

Why does the machine shake excessively during the spin cycle?
The machine feet might not be level. Re-level the machine and adjust the feet correctly according to the "Installation and connection - Levelling the machine" instructions.

My laundry is still wet after spinning. Why?
The machine likely detected an imbalance during the final spin and automatically reduced the spin speed. To prevent this, ensure you include both large and small items in the load for better distribution during spinning.

Why are there large amounts of detergent residue left in the dispenser drawer?
This could be due to low water pressure (clean the water inlet filter, consider 'Water plus' option) or sticky powder detergent when used with water softeners. Try adding powder first, then the softener.

The washing machine smells bad. What can I do?
This usually happens if 'Hygiene info' was ignored. Run a 'Cottons 75 °C' programme with machine cleaner or powder detergent. Also, leave the door and detergent drawer slightly open after washes to allow them to dry.

Why won't the door open during or after a programme?
During a program, the door is locked. Press 'Start/Stop' and select 'Cancel programme' or 'Add laundry'. The door won't open if water remains, if the suds temperature is above 55°C, or if the program is in the spin stage.

How do I open the door if the drain is blocked or there's a power failure?
Switch off the machine. Place a container under the drain pump access panel. Slowly unscrew the drain filter to let water out carefully. Once drained, remove the filter completely, clean it, replace it, then use a screwdriver to unlock the door manually as shown in the manual.
