 Last year I bought a Miele w1986 to keep as a spare for when my Asko dies. It needed a new door boot. Miele wanted more than I wanted to pay and I found an aftermarket version from a supplier in England for much MUCH less money even with shipping. I just had to shop around online to find places that would ship from UK to US. It was identical to the original one and fit perfectly and was really very easy to change.. Could it just be an O-ring or something causing it to leak? I know when the pump went out on my Asko 10 years ago I was able to just replace the motorized part and a new gasket and re-used the old housing. If it otherwise works fine it might be worth repairing. As far as your Maytag and the F&P's, I don't know. Maybe someone else will have more to say. | ||

Miele washer pumps
At least the older series such as 1070, 1900, etc.. you need to replace the entire pump unit. Been there and done that.
If you are keen to do the work yourself yes, there are aftermarket parts available in Europe that are advertised to fit Miele washers. Miele techs obviously won't touch the stuff. They can only install NIB parts IIRC. | ||

 F&P -- What model Intuitive? There were three - IWL12, IWL15, IWL16. Does the pump run? If not, then there's the problem -- pump is either burned out, or the motor control board is bad (not sending power to the pump), or both. A good pump reads 7 ohms resistance. The pump could also be source of the leak. Strongly advise do not continue trying to run the machine with a bad pump. If the motor control board is still good, trying to run a bad pump often will zap it. | ||

Ummm, ok ... you say the machine won't drain but also that you haven't yet run it with water so how do you know it won't drain? Anyway, as I said, evidence of water dripping from the pump (such as rusting on it, mineral deposits, and/or obvious presence of water) is a very bad thing, the fix is to replace the pump. Easy DIY procedure, several online sources for parts. The diverter valve is also a potential leak source (but is rare compared to the pump) and it can be involved in drain obstructions. Conjecturing and guessing what's wrong won't fix the problem, active investigation and diagnostic is needed. | ||

Here's one place in UK for Miele drain pump, just the pump itself and it appears they will ship to other countries. www.ransomspares.co.uk/parts/bran...
and this one might fit, but you'd have to verify with the seller http://www.ebay.de/itm/Laugenpumpe-Ablau... | ||

Yeah, the drain hose wouldn't be involved unless it has a clog in it, although as I mentioned the diverter valve can also catch a clog. Check the pump by pressing Power to turn the machine on, then press Adjust a few times until the display says Ready to Spin. Press Start. The pump should turn on immediately (even if there's no water in the tub). The main drive motor will pulse after a few seconds in preparation to spin so don't confuse that with the pump running. Or, you can run the pump via Diagnostic Mode (a bunch of detail about Diagnostic Mode is in the thread you linked above). - With the machine plugged in but off, press and hold LifeCycle, then press Power at the same time. Should get two beeps and the panel turns on. If not two beeps, press Power to turn it off and try again. - Press Fabric Care to run the pump (the Creasables light should also turn on). Only the pump will run so if you don't hear anything then, as I said previously, either the pump is seized or burned-out or the motor controller board isn't sending power to the pump (or maybe there's a problem on the pump wires). - Press Power to exit diagnostics. IWL16 is a Phase 7 machine. IWL12 & IWL15 are Phase 6. There are some component differences but overall mechanical design and function is the same. | ||
