My Miele washing machine is leaking from the bottom left hand corner,near the filter door, when it empties between the rinse cycles and final spin. I regularly put soda crystals through once every two weeks, I do not use the powder drawer as I use capsules and just throw in the drum. I also clean the filter every two weeks, any ideas please?

Miele washing machine leaking from bottom left near filter door during drain/spin

The problem
A Miele washing machine was reported leaking from the bottom left-hand corner near the filter door when emptying between rinse cycles and on the final spin.
Likely cause
The strongest suggestion in the discussion is an internal leak visible once the front cover is removed, probably from one of the two hose connections to the pump. This was not confirmed by the original poster.
What fixed it
Recommended action was to inspect inside the machine to identify the exact source of the leak, as the forum replies stated this must be traced visually rather than guessed. A probable area to inspect is the pump hose connections behind the lower front area. The exact repair was not confirmed.
Checks to try
  • Observe where the water is coming from inside the machine
  • Remove/dismount the front cover to improve visibility of the leak source
  • Inspect the hose connections to the pump

Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Hi. Once front cover is dismounted, it will be more visible where water is coming from. Probs from one of two hose connections to the pump.
