When you replace the cartridges do you need to reset the twin dos or does it do it automatically.

Hey there, I am having an issue with the maintenance cycle of twindos for compartment 1. In accordance to the instructions, I have filled a container with water, but it keeps saying "insufficient cleaning agent". I tried filling it partially, filling it to the top, restarted the process at least 10 times - still the same message. Meanwhile it went smoothly with compartment 2 from the very first try. Do you have any suggestions?

I wash only whites on the Delicates cycle. The DOS soap dispenser will not let me select whites only even though I have both canisters and they are about 25% full

Hi, I use twin dos 99% of the time. The service guy said I’d get a message once the container where near empty. The machine has never given that information from new I was washing with empty containers until I realised.

My WKH 132 WPS machine is only 4 months old. I am having trouble with smelly clothes especially when using the cotton cycle with Twin Dos. . The only program which washes satisfactorily is Quick Power Wash but this limits load to lightly soiled garments up-to 5 kg only. I believe the problem is the TwinDos product. Has anyone else experienced this issue. Service Tech fine-tuned some settings however problem remains of smelly clothes at end of wash cycle or smell present after first use especially towels.

Hi Anna, seeking feedback from other consumers at this stage as service support unable to resolved original issue.

the temperature of the water has to do with getting bad smells too. in Australia there is a very old school mentality where everything is washed in cold water to avoid shrinkage, if youre able to wash the clothes on either a cottons or powerwash cycle, or any cycle that doesn't have the handwash symbol, then they can take a warmer temperature. id recommend 40 degree washes for pretty much anything that isn't a dekicate item. 40 degrees is barely warm and wont damage clothes but warm enough to eliminate unwanted smells. think about having a shower in cold water only forever and that's how youre washing your clothes.
other alternative is that you may need to adjust the dosage of your twindos, and give the machine a descale and a clean on 90 degrees at least once a month as gunk tends to collect in the pipework and around the drum in places you cant see. hope that helps a bit;

I cannot turn off/deselect the "Programme Manager" button when I run the Cotton program. The light stays on and one of the options has to be selected when I don't want any of them. Is there a reset/factory reset option I can use?

W1 WKH132 WPS PWash2.0&TDos XL

Why am I getting "Twin Dos maintenance" message every time I start a wash? I have never used twin dos liquid compartment, I manually use washing liquid and this message started displaying after the machine was one week old. I do not have any cartridges in the twin dos compartment and can not find anywhere to turn this message off, the only way is clicking through the arrows every time (very inconvenient). Has anyone else had this problem? and is there some setting I can turn on so the machine knows that I am not using the twin dos?

2 answers
Miele
Miele representativeMiele

Hi there, during the commissioning for the machine the twin dos would have had to be set up, after that and regardless of the twin dos system being used after that point it requires the maintenance to be carried out at the regular intervals as determined by the software. It’s in the problem-solving section of the manual. You can find the manual for your product online here https://www.miele.com.au/domestic/customer-information-385.htm#p510 . Kind regards, Anna.

Thanks for that Anna, it's a shame that Miele don't offer the canisters for free then if you have no choice but to use them to stop the warning. I have just outlaid another $70 on empty canister to push water through the pipes I don't use to avoid this warning from coming up every time I wash.

My twin dos machine has stopped notifying me when I am low on detergent so I am constantly having to open hatch to check, I have run a maintenance clean & also cleaned where cartridges slot in but this hasn’t helped, when I spoke to meile I was told I could get charged for them to call out even though my machine is still under warranty.
Has anybody else had this issue or knows how to sort it please?

1 answer
Miele
Miele representativeMiele

Hi there, the prompt message informing you that the detergents, UltraPhase ‘1’ or ‘2’ can be interrupted by checking or replacing any of the cartridges whilst the W/M is turned ‘Off’. Each time a cartridge is removed the counter for monitoring the number of uses with each wash cycle is reset. If a cartridge is pulled out, and not replaced nor refilled, this counting is then out of sequence. Consequently, containers will possible runout before the ‘Container 1 or 2 almost empty’ and the ‘Container empty’ message are displayed. If you still need assistance, I'd recommend visiting your local Miele Experience Centre where our staff can assist you, please find locations here https://www.miele.com.au/domestic/locations-447.htm .

1. I often use the 20 minute express wash cycle for washing a few items. It only does normal wash ( not light wash ) and hence uses too much phase one detergent. I have already reduced the amount of detergent dispensed as I live in Melbourne and have very soft water. For a light wash can I put, say 1 tsp or whatever amount you suggest, of PHASE ONE detergent in the drawer. I don’t need a big bottle of Ultra colour detergent. I would just transfer into a separate bottle a small amount of phase one detergent for this purpose. By the way is Ultra colour detergent the same product as phase one detergent?
2. I find the Miele wool wash very strong in perfume even if I use a small amount. Any suggestions as to an alternative wool detergent for this machine.

W1 WKH132 WPS PWash2.0&TDos XL

Hello, I have recently had my Miele Washing Machine (Model: WKH 130 WPS) replaced under warranty with a WKH 132 WPS model. One of the features of the 130 WPS model was the buzzer at the end of a cycle would beep 3 times and then stop. The 132 WPS model seems to continue beeping for an extended period of time at the end of a cycle. Is it possible to change the settings so the beeping at the end of the cycle stops after 3 beeps?

Hi there, thanks for your question. You can only adjust the volume, but not the way the buzzer operates. Kind regards, Anna.

I run approximately 20 cycles of Cottons program with light soiling (TwinDos), short and ECO (extra options), and at 20 degrees, then Hygiene Info appears on the display? Is this normal for Hygiene Info to appear after 20 cycles (Cotton as listed above)?

2 answers

Kat

I don't have TwinDos but i think you do need to run a hot wash at least 60 degrees every now and again so the Hygiene info won't appear Its basically telling you to run a hot cycle to make sure the pipes and any liquid detergent buildup in the pipes are washed away.

Miele
Miele representativeMiele

Hi Hamish, thanks for your question. Yes, this is normal. To maintain the hygiene of the machine, carry out a hot wash using powder detergent at regular intervals. The hygiene info will appear in the display to remind you to carry out a hot wash. In order to prevent bacteria and unpleasant odours building up in the machine, run a Clean machine programme using Miele dishwasher and washing machine cleaner or powder detergent. Kind regards, Miele.

Can I use the TwinDos function while using the wools programme, or is it better to purchase the wool capsules?

1 answer

Hi Hamish, thanks for your question. We recommend you use WoolCare detergent to ensure the fabric is treated with care and gets the best results. You can use either the Caps WoolCare or the bottled WoolCare detergent. The ingredients are the same. The WoolCare detergent (bottle and cap) is designed for silks and delicates as well. If you have any further questions you can call our Miele Experience Centre (Australia - 1300 464 353) or visit our Miele Experience Centre in Australia that is there to help you better understand your Miele product.
