I'm not familure with Miele products. There should be a rubber gasket and may need resealing using this product that's good for pool filters. It is waterproof and gives a tight seal to the gasket. Any pool supply store should carry this! CLICK HERE TO GO TO CleanteamofNY's LINK |

Well then at least I cannot offer anything further.
Read over the owner's manual for W1903 washers and it states to extend the drain tube, turn the drain pump cover 2x-3x and water will start draining out of the tube. Once water has ceased one is to remove the drain cap to clean the lint filter, the replace reversing the above. No where does it mention removing the entire drain tube or any part and reinserting. Suggest contacting Miele again on Tuesday (Monday is a holiday and doubt they are open), and again describing your problem,the initial advice received and how you acted upon it. |

I was wondering if the filter screw cap is polarised? For example, a straight edge on the filter that slots into a groove on one side only, or something along those lines? |

The drain hose on this model is not meant to be removed, it needs to be inserted into the door holder and left there, to drain water from this machine through the hose you need to:
Swing Open Drain Trap Door Place bowl under drain hose Turn the Bottle Trap 2 / 3 times to Release pressure (Do Not Remove Fully) Let Water Drain Repeat if necessary Then remove the trap fully to clean The water to the drain hose drains through the rubber seal of the drain trap, opening the trap aligns a hole to the drain hose where the water drains out of, there is no stopper arrangement on the drain tube hose, closing the trap screw fully closes the water outlet to the drain!! It looks like as Miele Tech have said that the rubber seal around the drain trap has not been inserted correctly so the drain hole is in the right place - or the seal is now perished and is leaking!! Hope this helps, Mike |

I just talked to Miele tech support and they are sending a new drain cap, if that does not fix the problem, I will break down and shell out $160. for a service call.Thanks for all the helpful suggestions. |

Yeah, it seems to be one of those simple things that if it's not 'just so' it won't work. |

Glad to hear you got the new part sorted!!
What programme did you select, Rinse & Spin?? Is the spin speed selector on a spin speed setting ie 1200rpm or Without Final Spin?? Can you turn the programmer to spin and set the spin speed to 1200rpm, does it drain and spin okay?? Here is a link to your instruction manual, hope this helps!!
