Miele · W1 Washing Machines

What does Water intake error mean?

The display indicates a problem with the water intake, meaning the Washing Machine is not receiving enough water or no water at all. This can be due to issues with the water supply line or internal filters.

Common Causes

  • The water inlet is blocked or restricted.
  • The stopcock (water tap) for the Washing Machine has not been properly opened.
  • The inlet hose is kinked or bent, preventing water flow.
  • There is insufficient water pressure from the household supply.
  • The filter in the water inlet is blocked with sediment.
