Thank you so much. I wasn't brave enough to take the front panel off. However, thanks to your advice about the sensor being flooded, I took the bottom panel off and tipped the machine forward (as it's free-standing). Loads of water poured out and voila! - the flashing warning lights disappeared and the washing machine worked like a dream! You've saved me a fortune in repairs. Thanks again! 😊
Many thanks for your straightforward advice which was simple apart from moving an extremely heavy washer out and in of a tight spot. Saved me at least £150 Miele service call. It's disgusting that something so simple isn't listed as a fix in the Miele handbook or mentioned on the telephone call I had this morning before I looked at u tube! This isn't the first time I've fixed a washing machine following simple u tube advice either so it just shows how manufacturers are prepared to rip off their customers. Keep up the good work!
A friend and myself fixed her Miele Novotronic Premier 500 by pulling the machine out and tipping it back. It had quite a bit of water on the bottom of the machine. Error code cleared. Thanks very much!
Thank you so so much for your advice. It saved me £265 by contacting the engineer. This works as miracle, simple and straight forward to do. Can't thank you enough.
How can this classic 'how to fix video' only have 95 likes!! - I know I watched this one last time we had this error and once again this has fixed my fault!! top work!!
I believe you have an internal leak that is dripping down and topping up the ‘catch all’ bottom mounting plate.The fact that you cleared the fault vu tipping the unit up and draining it to the kitchen floor, then allowed the flood float switch to reset.
Thanks for yours video. Is it possible to tell me where is the Fuse on control panels I don’t haw electisiti. And lamps don’t work. Greetings from Serbia And thanks in advance for your reply
Excellent video for a (short term?) solution to what is probably a leak or other fault in the system. Perhaps if it is just a very very slow leak the machine will be ok for some time. I did this exact repair for my Miele W3204 (UK based) machine. I had replaced the rubber seal some months ago and I can say they are not that generous with space so trying to tighten one of the hose clamps was challenging (fault?). This was from another excellent youtube video - what would be do without them? 🙂. Really great job Jolyon. Incidentally does anyone know how to get a Hoover dryer to go back to manual mode? Once I set up the app the manual mode does not work so if the internet is down we can't use the dryer! Progress!!
You forgot to remove the filter end can and check it.. That water must have been coming from the base of the machine which would mean a leak triggering the float switch
There is a split in one of the rubber parts internally. I show this in another video "Where the leak came from..." ua-cam.com/video/FB8inaHmTOw/v-deo.html

Thanks Pauline - that’s why I made these videos. 😊
Your video is great. Thank you. The Miele manual is useless.

THANK YOU! saved my day and my temper and my wallet. Unbelievable miele weren’t able to verbally formulate this simple solution over phone…
Wow thank you 🙏 you just saved me fortune and hassle of looking for someone to fix the red lights
Excellent video, thank you for making this video.

Fantastic ,thank you very much you made my day😊😊😊😊
It's the waterproof system (WPS), which has detected an internal leak and stopped the machine.
Just saved me over 300 eur on repairs!
Thank u very much,u help me a lot😊😊😊😊😊😊
Unbelievable. As the other comments say - Miele should tell people that. If I knew where you lived I’d offer to buy you a pint.

It worked for mine cheers... Have you had to have it fixed properly like you thought you might have to since?
Check out the “where the leak came from” video and all is revealed…..something else broke on it and I gave up fixing it.
You forgot to remove the filter end can and check it.. That water must have been coming from the base of the machine which would mean a leak triggering the float switch
You have a leak...... Dripping down on to the base pan and float switch has put up a fault light.
What’s the solution ? Cos mine keeping having flashing n every week having to tilt the washing 45 degrees to drain excess water .
Yeah but why is it doing?
