Andy Thank you for replying. Your explanation sounds very credible. I guess that the machine tried to spin but gave up leaving water inside and it assumed the drain was blocked. I read the user manual carefully and in the fault finding section was "Laundry still damp after a drying programme" Possible cause:- The load was too small for the electronics to assess the residual moisture correctly. In future dry small loads in a timed drying programme Regards Geoff

I purchased a Miele Washer Dryer WT2780 about a month ago. It has been working fine but after a cotton wash programme, we removed all the laundry except one dressing gown. We then set the machine to do a cotton drying programme. After a while the machine bleeped and gave the message "Fault check drainage system" I checked the pump and filter which were clear (there was about 2 litres of water still in the machine.) Our plumber checked the drain hose for integrity. I then ran a cottons wash programme with no clothes or detergent. It completed the programme without a problem and you could here the water draining out OK. Can anyone explain? Geoff
