The W1113 belongs to the first wave of Novotronic washers, and surviving examples are now thirty years old. Miele suspended these drums on coil springs with replaceable dampers, and it is those dampers – not the bearings – that go first. An owner who books a machine that has started banging on spin will often find the bearings are still sound and only the shock absorbers need changing, which is a much smaller job.
Key Features
- Compact 24" front-loader from Miele's early Novotronic washer family

Most Common Issues on This Model
