Miele Washer Stops Mid-Cycle: What to Check

When a Miele washer stops mid-cycle, balance the clothes, check the drain and door, reset the washer, then have its water or control parts tested.

Balance the Clothes

Spread heavy items around the drum and remove some if it is tightly packed. An uneven load are a common reason the washer stops before spinning.

These check is especially helpful when the machine shakes first.

Clean the Drain Filter

Unplug the washer and place towels near the filter area because water may come out. Remove lint, coins, and other small items.

If water remains in the drum, follow our guide for a Miele washer that is not draining. A blocked filter may needs cleaning before the cycle can continue.
