Brew unit and waste unit in place, brew unit is blocked

I can and have removed the waste unit and followed all instruction in manual and all that I could find on line including turning it off and using buttons to reset as stated on this page. Brew unit is still blocked and I cannot find any solution that seems to help at all.
Anyone with new ideas before I call the service rep???

Good Morning I have a Miele CV 4080. The waste that is discharged from the brewing unit to the waste container has become a runny mess recently, it used to discharge a solid pellet.

Have you changed your type of coffee beans or grind setting recently? First of all I would recommend removing and cleaning the brew unit thoroughly (as per cleaning instructions) to eliminate any cleaning issue here...
This is sounds like the flush valve is not working correctly. The flush valve ensures that all unused liquid in tubes is flushed into the driptray and that all solid coffee (dry pellet) goes from the brew chamber into the waste container. At the end of the coffee cycle when the pump stops running, the piston in the brew unit usually moves one last cycle and squeezes the coffee pellet in the chamber one last time and the flush valve operates so that all waste liquid is flushed from the coffee pellet to the drip tray. If your pellet is wet, then this final flush is not working. There may be a blockage in your flush tube or the flush valve may be blocked. These usually block up if you don't run a cleaning tablet through the machine regularly.
My advice is to remove the driptray grill and check that the tubes running into the tray from the brew unit are not accidentally squeezed closed or blocked. Good luck.

Waste unit is stuck and I can not remove it

The standard instructions are ... remove the waste container, water container & ground coffee container. On the front of the Brew Unit is a vertical black lever with a grey press button at bottom. Press this button and turn the lever clockwise. Then press the release catch that holds the brew unit as base and pull the brew unit. If Brew Unit is still stuck then its likely that the Unit State is not in the 'home position' and if this has occurred then its likely that that an error code would be showing. Regards

I cannot get my Miele CVA470 waste container back in after I put the brew unit in. The slide that has the W piece is blocking the waste unit's entry.

It is because the brew unit is not in the "rest" position. Somebody plaid with it or there is a malfunction with the brew unit so it is not in the initial position. Post a picture of the brew unit in place (without the waste container) and I will make my best to help you.

First clean the screen and tube on the brew unit, then lube the guides/gear grooves on the brew unit, also lube the o-ring(big red one). Then that should take care of it. You can also try backwashing/degreasing the brew unit if the machine has a preground chute.
