Drain fault message
A blocked pump filter or a failed drain pump. We clear or replace it and test a full cycle.
Miele appliances are built to run for decades, so they are almost always worth repairing. We work carefully on Miele washers, dishwashers, ovens, dryers and built-in coffee machines.
Pick your Miele appliance. Tell us what it’s doing and we’ll usually know the likely cause before we arrive.
A blocked pump filter or a failed drain pump. We clear or replace it and test a full cycle.
A closed tap, blocked inlet filter or a failed inlet valve.
Water left in the drum, or a code like 5C, OE or E18. Usually a blocked filter, hose or a worn drain pump.
The inlet hose’s safety valve or the inlet valve has failed.
Water left in the bottom from a blocked filter, drain hose or pump.
Worn door seals, a split sump or a loose hose. Many models stop with a flood code.
A burnt-out element, thermostat or selector switch. On gas ovens, the igniter or valve.
A failed fan motor or fan element, or a thermostat reading the wrong temperature.
Worn hinges, a broken door lock or a hardened seal letting the heat out.
Blocked fluff filters or plinth filter, or a sensor that needs cleaning.
A blown thermal fuse, failed heater or thermostat.
A snapped drum belt or a worn motor or idler pulley.
Low gas from a leak, dusty condenser coils, a failed fan, thermostat or start relay.
We find and fix the leak first, then pull a vacuum and refill with the right gas for your fridge.
Frost on the back wall or around the fan points to a defrost heater, sensor or timer fault.
Scale, a blocked brew unit or a tired pump.
Scale in the system, a blocked brew unit or a tired pump.

Yes, almost always. Miele builds for a very long life and keeps parts available for older models, so a repair usually costs far less than replacing.
Yes. We descale, clean and repair brew units, pumps and grinders on built-in and countertop Miele coffee machines.
The diagnosis is free. The technician finds the fault on your Miele washing machine, tells you the full price for parts and labour, and nothing starts until you approve it.
Most bookings in Nairobi and Kiambu get a same-day visit. Common Miele parts travel in the van, so many repairs are finished on the first visit.
We fit genuine Miele parts wherever they are available and tell you clearly when only a compatible part exists. Every repair carries our warranty.
