Miele Washer F63 Error

 


Miele Washer Error E63 is the error that indicates defective water path system.

  • Symptom: The Water Intake LED flashes. The water intake valves are closed and the program is interrupted. The Drain Pump is activated for 120 seconds. 
  • Possible causes: Faulty Water Path Control System. The Control Power Module cannot register a valid position from the the Water Path Control Unit within about 80 seconds of it being switched on. 
  • The Water Path Control System uses a single Cold Water Valve that opens during all needs for cold-water. The incoming cold water supply is routed to the Dispenser Assembly where a distributor tube (driven by a geared synchronous motor) sends the water to the appropriate dispenser. The position of the distributor tube is monitored by the Electronic via several contacts within the Water Path Control System Unit. If the Control Module does not detect a valid position approximately 80 seconds after the water path system is switched on it displays the F63 error.
  • SolutionCheck the Water Path Control Unit. If malfunctioned, replace the water path assembly.

Miele Washer Troubleshooting Tips

Miele Washer Troubleshooting Tips

The most common customers complaint is that over the period of time, the Miele washing machine wash results begin to decline. Listed are few  tips for you to improve your washer machine performance.

Overuse of detergent. Excessive use of detergent can cause over sudsing in the unit. Same applies for over use of the fabric softener. Continued over sudsing will cause detergent build-up within washing machine. To eliminate detergent build-up use more often cycles at the temperature 170F or more.

Washing at lower temperatureThe water temperature is very important for the effectiveness of the washing machine. Because Miele does not recommend the use of a liquid chlorine bleach, it is important to wash whites at a high temperature. If whites are washed at temperatures below 140°, the whites will start to gray. This can be corrected by washing the items at a higher temperature. Of course, it is imperative to always follow the manufacture’s instructions for washing the garments. 

  • If a customer is going to use temperatures at 120° or above it is recommended that they use a prewash cycle first. At temperatures of 120° and above, the incoming water is hot and will set any organic stains on the fabric. A prewash cycle is a short 13-minute cycle that uses cold water only, thus removing any organic stains on the clothing. 
  • If a customer has white garments that can not be washed at a higher temperature, they can always use a detergent with bleach or the can add a non-chlorine powdered bleach, such as Clorox II, to the main wash detergent compartment. If this is the case, remind the customer that these non-chlorine bleaches do have some sudsing properties and they should use ½ the normal amount of detergent and fill the other ½ with the non-chlorine bleach.

Grease and rust stains on clothing. It is impossible for the washing machine, itself, to cause grease or rust spots on the clothing. There are no mechanical parts within the machine that will cause this problem. 

  • Typically, these grease spots are caused by washing unlike colors at the same time at to high of a temperature. Because of the wash action it is possible for clothes to get a spotted from another article of clothing that has bled within the wash cycle. 
  • As far as the rust spots are concerned, it is possible that an underwire from a bra or any other metal add-on to the garment can come out and lodge itself between the inner and outer tubs. After a period of time this underwire will begin to rust and can stain the garments being washed. Another indication of this will be a very loud grinding sound when the unit is in operation, although this is not always the case. Unfortunately, it probably will not be possible for the customers to remove the underwire themselves. If this appears to be happening, the customer will need to have a service call with an service company.

Bosch Dishwasher Troubleshooting

This article explains simple Bosch Dishwasher Troubleshooting procedures you can do in your home before you call for professional service. Bosch is number one manufacturer of the high-end dishwashers that give you the choice of flexibility, cycle options, and quiet operation. But even the best dishwashers are not perfect. When your Bosch dishwasher stops working, there are few steps you can do to troubleshoot and possible solve the problems.
  • Bosch dishwasher is not cleaning dishes:

    Make sure that the dishwasher is filling up with water. Also, check for clogged spray arms, drain filter and the circulation pump operations. One of the most common problems is the white residue on the dishes after the dishes being washed. This is due to the lack of phosphates in dishwasher detergents, and simply changing the detergent might solve this problem.
  • Bosch dishwasher is not draining:

    If your Bosch dishwasher experience the drain issue it will display E24 or E25 error. First thing to do is to check for the clogged air gap. The air gap provides back-flow prevention for an installed dishwasher. To clean it, simply remove the top of the air gap and clean the accumulated debris. If the problem persist, you might have an issue with the clogged drain hose or failed  drain pump. In that case you should look for Bosch Dishwasher Service.
  • Bosch dishwasher is making noise:

    The most common cause will be the accumulated water in the dishwasher base that activates the safety switch. The drain pump will run all the time and the program can not be switched off. The display will usually show errors such as E15 or E17.  If you don't see the obvious reason for the water leak in to the base, call for service.
  • Bosch dishwasher is not dispensing soap:

    If your Bosch dishwasher is not spraying water the soap will not dissolve. Check for the clogged spray arms, drain filter and for the circulation pump operation. If your detergent dispenser will not open it's either due to faulty dispenser or the faulty heather circuit. In any case you should call for service.
  • Bosch dishwasher is overflowing:

    Your dishwasher might overfill with water even if it is not in use.  This is due to the faulty water inlet valve. The solenoid part of the valve fails to shut off and  the water keeps entering the dishwasher. The only way to stop the water filling up your dishwasher is to find the water supply shut off valve and to turn the water supply off. The shut off valve is usually under the kitchen main sink. To replace the valve you will need to call Bosch dishwasher professional service.
If you're not certain that you can safely perform these simple troubleshooting steps our advice is to call for Bosch Dishwasher Service.

  • Always set the temperature control on recommending settings. 37F in the refrigerator and 0F in the freezer compartment.

  • Do not overload your refrigerator. You could block the cold air vent. Cold air will not circulate around your food. The result will be a warmer-than-recommended fridge, which can be dangerous in terms of food safety.
  • Change the water and the air filter on a regular basis.
  • Clean the spills inside the fridge. Therefore, bacteria and parasites will not contaminate your food.
  • Regularly check the door gaskets for cracks and tears. Wipe the gaskets with the wet cloth to prevent any further damages.

Refrigerator not cooling - common causes:

  • The temperature control setting is wrong. Therefore, correct the thermostat setting. 
  • The condenser coils might be covered with dust. First you need to locate condenser coils. They are typically in the back or on the bottom of the fridge. Then use a special brush to get rid of the dust.
  • Replace the refrigerator door gaskets due to damages such as tears, cracks, gaps etc.
  • The inside of the refrigerator is overloaded with food. The items in your fridge could be blocking the air vent. Because of that cold air will not circulate properly.  That will cause temperature problems as well.
  • The refrigerator is located in either too hot or too cold  outside environment . The outside temperature can affect refrigerator proper operation. As a result that will cause the refrigerator to work longer and harder. 
  • The evaporator fan motor might stop working. As a result there will be no cold air circulation inside the unit. Temperature will rise and the food will spoil. If so replace the evaporator fan or call our professional service.
  • The condenser fan motor stops working or starts making noise. Consequently that will overheat the compressor due to lack of the cooling airflow. If so replace the condenser fan motor or contact our service department.
  • The start relay is faulty. If so, replace it or call our professional service.
  • Ice maker is not making ice. First make sure that the it's turned on. Then check the water supply shut-off valve. Finally clear the ice maker from any ice cubes stuck inside or in the dispenser chute. If you can’t easily dislodge the ice, try to use warm water or a hair dryer to melt it. Replace the old water filter.
