Re: Miele T230C – empty container light on

Could still do with a dis-assembly guide for this machine, but while i am being patient waiting i will describe how to clear the blockage in the condensate pump.

1. At the back of the machine if you have plumbed this to an external drain remove the hose with some pliers.
2. Remove the pump cover with a small plastic spatular.
3. Grab hold of the drain socket and twist anti-clockwise (while pushing) to release the socket, inside tou will find a small ball and gasket, thoroughly clean these and lay to one side.
4. The pump assembly has 2 electrical connections, unplug these, on the righ use pliers to uncouple the drain hose coming down from the condenser drawer.
5. With both hands twist pump assembly anti clockwise towards you and carefully lift out then clean all the assemply well.
6. you will now have limited assess into where pump was, this is where i found lots of sludge, after scraping this out i had a good functioning dryer once again

Re-assembly is the reverse 🙂

Hope this helps someone as i have spent all weekend on it… lots of trial and error as numerous searches online didnt uncover the correct way to strip this machine
