    The inlet/drain red light flashes 5 times AFTER successfully draining whenever I start a cycle. I then hear water entering the system slowly but the red light continues. Eventualy the machine decides to drain again and a repeat of the above occurs! No kinks in the inlet pipe, water pressure is fine, drainage appears fine. I’ve taken the left hand panel off and can see some water entering a kind of reservoir but it does appear that the water is not coming through very fast.
    I’m considering buying a replacement inlet hose but frightened this may not be the fault and it being more money wasted. The machine is just 5 years old and only gets used once every few weeks.
    Any advice would be much appreciated, thank you.

    Well I guess the engineer has to make a mark up on parts too. I have no idea how difficult the part is to fit! I reached out for help on this forum, got no reply so assumed no one had a possible solution. Of course I would liked to have got some suggestions but last resort I called a local engineer. He laughed and joked about Miele and the fact they are never ment to go wrong. Said he comes across this fault often, especially when clients return from holidays.

    there are no trade spares with miele so can understand that. just making sure you not gone to any other online sites

    what I quite often do is solder a new reed switch onto the board which makes life cheaper but not all engineers will do that
