Miele w1918 washer leaking

[sudsmaster]

One can always stop the older Miele during a spin, open the drain door, pull the emergency string, pop open the door, and redistribute the load manually. If necessary.

looking for long drain hose replacement now.

I see that this thread has been active recently. I am now looking for a longer drain hose for my w1918. My plumber suggested getting a length of radiator hose and clamp on to the outlet. I have a long reach to a floor drain, all down hill. About 10 feet max. Has anyone done this? what size hose do I get? I am not finding the size specs for drain hose on Miele drain hoses that are for sale on the internet.

Thanks.

You want hose connector like this: https://www.ebay.ie/itm/Dishwasher-...let-Outlet-Joint-Join-Connector-/311235939576

or this: https://www.espares.co.uk/product/es1020671/universal-laundry-drain-hose-connector

Then a length of hose or "extender" washing machine or drain hose. The latter will have one end that can accept various sizes of hose connectors. Insert one end of hose connector into hose coming off washing machine and tightly clamp, then insert free end into extended drain hose doing same.

Voilà problem solved. Have done this four times already and indeed as have most collectors with multiple European washing machines.

Thanks Launderess, I will look at options for an extension. I have 2 that I could use for my setups.
