Miele W3240 check drain

[Redmonkey]

Good evening.
First Post here although I have been checking to see if the problem I have is already covered.

My Miele W3240 washing machine is displaying the Check drain light. Following advice on here I have cleaned the filter, cleaned out all the pipes including the sump pipe, drains, pipes up to the Y piece etc.
If it is a pipe of some sort I have had it off and cleaned it out. There was a lot of gunk sludging the pipes up but that is clear now.

The drain pump turns and all the impeller blades seem intact.
On operating the machine everything seems fine until the very end of the spin when the check drain light comes on and it sounds like the drain pump continues to operate. The LCD displays three dashes.

Is there a reset I could do or what would be my next move?

Thank you for any help.

It seems to be although a test wash load came out very wet.

Putting it on the drain cycle it doesn’t always spin as I would expect it to.

check the pressure chamber. feeds air pressure to a pressure sensor on the board through a small rubber pipe

if it blocks the machine cant measure water height

warning dont blow into the sensor

Thank you I won’t. That would involve a sensor replacement as the sensor would then be broken

Thank you for the assistance. The pressure chamber inlet was fully blocked.
it is all cleaned out and working correctly.

Apart from the washing line which snapped as I had just finished hanging the test load on.
