Miele washer only spins with hose over sink

[Teresa]

Please help.  Miele washing machine will not spin when hose is connected to the drain - check drain light comes on but this is clear.  It will spin when I pull the machine out and place hose directly over the sink.  Hope someone can guide me in fixing this.  Many thanks for reading..... Teresa

Hi. If the drain hose pushes onto a plastic spigot or connects directly to the u-bend then it sounds like there’s a blockage inside there.

Sounds like a new installation?

Check also, if the spiggot style connector, that the little plastic/rubber bung in the spiggot has been removed. If a screw on spiggot, sometimes a plastic disc inside the screw attatchment.
