Questions about this repair
What caused F138 on this Miele washing machine?
On this job, water leaked into the drip tray in the base and activated the flood switch. That happened after the machine failed to drain and the drain filter was opened. Draining the tray and servicing the filter cleared it.
Should I open the drain filter myself?
Water will come out when the filter is opened, so have towels and a shallow tray ready and follow your Miele manual. If water gets into the base, the flood protection can trip and a technician may need to drain it.
