Hi heeg_mark,

Leaks problem most often occurs when the water tank is not seated properly allowing water to drain out of the tank and into the base. There are alignment pins on the tank that fit into holes in the coffee machine. Make sure this alignment holes are clear of any debris. Coffee beans have been known to make their way into these openings. Please use a flashlight and a small mirror to see down into the alignment holes. You can easily fix this by following the steps below.

1. Please remove the water tank.

2. There is an access opening like a round hole in the base beneath were the tank fits into the machine.

3. Using an absorbent cloth material dry the water through this opening. Please be patient, it can take sometime.

4. Once the water is gone the machine will operate normally again.

Hope it helps.

Since this is a device that comes in contact with food, you may want to lubricate it with a little vegetable or olive oil.

Hi kimneup,

When that happens, your brew filters are blocked. You'll have to remove the stainless steel filter and clean it or replace it if it doesn't clean up good. Remove the screws from the brew unit to get to it.

I hope this helps. If it does, I'd appreciate your vote. Thanks,

yes

The brew unit has lose parts on left-hand-side, wiggle them up and down. Put the waste unit back, switch off the machine and then turn it on (pull the cord). It worked for me!!!

The brew unit missing switch is inside the slot at top back wall where the top of the brew unit puts an angled piece of plastic into the slot. The piece is a slope like a nose so it gently pushes the switch as you instert the brew unit. See if the brew unit reaches this slot on the wall. If it doesn't the brew unit most likely jammed up and was removed while the gears were not in home position. Now the gears are not allowing the brew unit to return fully inserted.

If you're handy you can call Miele tech support and request they walk you through steps to diagnose this. They will discover if the gear is out of home position or not. If it is not and the switch is in contact with the brew unit you may be in luck, the swith is cheap. But if the electronics no longer reads the switch signal it's 800 bucks to replace. Good luck!

FIll the water tank.

Turn the program selector to "ON with light" and place containers below the hot water dispenser and the steam nozzle.

Press the hot water button, turn the steam selector counterclockwise and let water run out until it streams steadily.

Press the hot water button again.
Turn the steam selector to "o" to shut off the water.

That should solve the problem

Try to clean/wash the waste container. If that still not working the sensor needs to be replaced.

The sensor is inside the machine, if you are interested in taking it apart, I will tell you where it is.

Hi
Change your language in the menu. That will tell you what is wrong.
Push and hold the menu button. When it changes in the window, use the up or down arrow button to move the asterisk (*) until you come to a window that has something like "lingua, or spreka", and then push the menu button again. Use the up arrow to scroll to "English". When you have the asterisk (*) in front of English, push the menu button again. You have selected English and then you can push the escape button to exit. Some machines have exit in the scroll bar, so it depends on your machine.

OIL? There in NOT oil inside the machine.The only oils are from the beans (and is like a film, very little)
May be there is a water leak and the water looks like oil? Specially if the water is mixing with coffee grounds.
Try removing the brew group and look around inside the machine to see if there is any water.
Let me know.

brew unit filters are blocked. take out brew unit, remove screws and clean and replace stainless steel filters.

Possible that there is WEARING OFF of the bushes in the shaft of the grinder jar section or to the motor section. If you can try to hold the spindle and move , there must not be any play of the shaft nor it must be TOO free. If so the bushes must be reset with the same type.
Also check if the motor bush/bearings are faulty or a drop of light grease or oil might give a temporary relief.

the element need to be replaced or maybe the fuse has blown

There is no user servicable fuses on that machine. There is a door switch on the top right behind the door. It will not turn on unless the door is fully closed. Please try it in a different receptacle and make sure you have power. If the outlet that it is plugged into is GFCI or AFCI protected, it may have tripped when you plugged it back in.
