There should be a screw to secure it into the pump, is it there?

Hi,

I thought you meant the screw on the filter itself. But after watching several YouTube videos, I just noticed there are two screws either side of it on the machine, so I will investigate further, later or tomorrow.

But for now I have to do Mother's Day duties!

Thanks

It is not a fluff filter though some may attach to it, it is actually the pump cover it stops larger items like coins, buttons or bra wires getting through to the pump and jamming it, if you look inside the hole it fits into you should be able to see the vanes of the pump and check it is free to turn.

Just replace the rubber seal, possibly spray with silicone lubricant and refit making sure it is tight.

Thanks, I just watched that video. Mine doesn't have a drain hose. I suppose trying to shove one in will be futile, as I won't be able to attach it to the pump from the outside.

No - most of them don't have that drain hose (in fact I've never seen one!), but since you have an old (wire-less) bra, just stick that beneath the filter to soak up the water that comes out.

that

Miele does, and the machines last decades. Mine is approaching 25 years, only had one problem about 15 years go which was a blocked drain hose which a bent coat hanger unblocked.

Before you rush out and buy a new o-ring,the black thing on the white plastic filter opening,take the o-ring off and turn it around,usually works.

Are you absolutely sure it is leaking from there & not somewhere else under the machine ???

Thank you, I have done what you suggested, and a wash is on now.

Fingers crossed!
