I use those to get stubborn ground-in money from between the cracks in the cushions 😃

Just noticed this appear in Related Threads.

Our Miele isn't draining too well. Does the wash OK and then starts bleeping. So switch off machine and start draining it manually. Apart from a bit of grit, nothing much comes out. It's only when I extend the hose at the back, school labels and small bits of plastic appear. Always hoping that this is everything so no need to open the machine up.

Once done, select drain/spin to finish. Thankfully, this seems to work until next time I use the machine when we go back to square one.

If you undo one end you should be able to get your fingers in the pipe and pull any rubbish out (there may be a large ball in there you need to move around too).

My last washer had this problem and for some reason it was clogged with cardboard!

Got something to say?

Two bleeps, E21 message.
I pressed the start button and it continued but fails to drain

I turned it off, then turned it to drain only. Initially, I thought the drum wasn't turning, as it clicks and tr...
