Miele W2809 door-area leak likely from door seal contamination

The problem

An integrated Miele W2809 washing machine was dribbling water, suspected from the main door area. After the outer wooden kitchen fascia door was removed, the dribbling stopped.

Likely cause

The accepted reply supported an issue with the door seal sealing surface rather than confirmed door weight distortion. Dirt or debris such as undissolved detergent, hairs or cotton strands between the door glass and the seal was suggested as the most likely cause. An old or damaged seal was not confirmed.

What fixed it

Clean the door seal and the rear face of the door glass where it presses against the seal, and check that the seal is free from debris before considering seal replacement. The discussion did not confirm that the seal needed replacing.

Checks to try

• Observed leak from the door area
• Leak stopped after removing the heavy wooden fascia door
• Check the door seal is clean
• Check for undissolved detergent, hairs or cotton on the seal
• Clean the back of the door glass where it contacts the seal
