Why won't my Miele W 5740 Washer programme start?
If your Miele Washer program won't start, first ensure the machine is receiving power. Check that the mains plug is properly plugged in and switched on. Also, verify that the fuse or circuit breaker hasn't tripped.
What to do if the display is dark on my Miele W 5740?
The dark display on your Miele Washer is likely due to the Standby mode, which activates to save energy. Simply press any button to exit Standby mode and reactivate the display.
