Miele Front Loader Washing Machine Soap Dish(s) Draining Question

[Bob]

Hello,

Have a few weeks old Miele front loader washing machine. One of their smaller front-loaders; Model is: Touchtronic W 3048.

Seems to work fine, but-

There is a pull-out drawer on the left that has two oblong containers for adding Pre-Wash and Wash.

Neither one empties, fully, after the wash is completed.

There is always 1/8 to 1/4 inch of liquid left in the bottom. Yuk !

Will call Miele about this, but thought I'd ask here first, as have always gotten such good help.

On inspecting these two containers/reservoirs, it seems to me that there is no way they could ever empty fully, as all the drain holes, and also a small stand-tube, are all above the bottom by 1/4 inch, or so.

So how could they ever drain fully ?

(have tried with powder and liquid cleaners)

What am I missing, please ?

Thanks, Bob

I'm sorry I don't have an answer, but have you thoroughly read the manual? Have you searched Google for a similar problem?

I'm asuming that the program runs water into these dispensers which would certainly dilute the cleaning product significantly.

With the "stand pipe" of 1/4" in height it would seem that liquid would never drain completely, and was not meant to.

It would be good if you could report back.

Good luck!

It was engineered by a kraut. WTF did you expect?
