Discover Miele Water Safety Features

Although your Miele appliances come with safety features as standard, it’s worth being aware of common user errors. 

 

Miele appliances come with a selection of built-in water safety features to protect you and your home.

 

All electronics in your appliances are encased separately and waterproofed to ensure electrical safety at all times.

 

Miele hoses also include our Waterproof Metal System. This braided hose has a strong metal cover, meaning it can withstand damage while still remaining flexible.

What Causes Leaking Washing Machines?

The following issues are often the cause for a leaking appliance:

Installing Your Drainage Hose Incorrectly

With washing machines, the drainage hose being incorrectly fitted to the waste water pipe is the most common cause of flooding. Ensure a tight fit to the connector and run a short test wash to ensure no waste water escapes. Only use the hose supplied with your Miele appliance for the best results.

Installing Your Fresh Water Feed Incorrectly

Hooking up the inlet hose to your water source is another opportunity for leakage. Ensure a tight fit and that the thread of the screw-in element is sitting correctly. Run a test wash and check for any moisture or dripping before fitting your machine in place.

Damage To Your Appliance

Although Miele laundry appliance are tested to last the equivalent of 20 years’ use***, water leakage can happen if your appliance becomes damaged. The door and door seal are one area where damage can cause water to leak. If you find damage, then book a Miele appliance service or contact our customer teams to hear more about repairs or purchasing a replacement for your damaged items.
