Miele W32445 front loader, load not dry after spin

The reservoir for the ball valve I was reffering to is almost on top of the machine.
A faulty detergent recovery valve is only one posibillity but still my best guess.

The link goes to the patent of the ball valve and the reservoir is #12 in the graphics. It`s just to give an impression of how much water "could" actually seep back into the drum.

A faulty ball valve is also quite easy to rule out without any disassembling at first.
If possible unload the washer immediately after the cycle is finished.
Then check for the next few weeks for a tiny puddle of water in the drum before you load the clothes.
This way you`ll recognize a possible problem even if it is only a periodic thing or if it takes a few hours for the water to seep back.
