Cleaning the fluff filter and pump
Check the fluff filter initially after 3 - 4 washes to ascertain how often it is likely to require cleaning. With normal cleaning approx. 2 litres of water run out.

If the drain outlet is clogged, more water will be retained in the machine (up to 25 litres).

Caution: if laundry has been washed at a high temperature,
water draining out of the machine will still be hot!

Take the (yellow) filter flap opener from behind the detergent drawer facia panel. Open the flap.

Place a dish under the drain fixture. Turn the fluff filter lid round 2 - 3
times. Do not take it right out.

With large volumes of water when the dish is full, screw the fluff filter back into position and empty the dish before repeating the procedure.

Once the flow of water ceases, remove the fluff filter completely and
clean it.
Remove any foreign bodies (e.g. buttons, coins, etc.) and fluff.
Turn the impeller by hand to check that it is free to rotate. Any foreign objects causing an obstruction should be removed.

Clean the inside of the fluff filter housing. Remove any deposits of lime scale and detergent or foreign bodies from the thread of the filter housing and filter unit (as these objects can cause a leakage
of water). Put the fluff filter back and screw it in firmly.
Cleaning and care

To clean the water inlet filters
The washing machine has two filters to protect the inlet valves. These filters should be checked every 6 months or so, or more often if there are frequent interruptions to the water supply.

To clean the filter in the union in the open end of the inlet hose:
First turn off the stopcock.
Unscrew the threaded union connecting the free end of the inlet hose to the stopcock.
Remove the rubber seal from the recess. Using pointed pliers, take hold of the plastic filter bar, remove the filter and clean.

Put the filter and seal back in the reverse order and reconnect the
hose. Turn on the stopcock and check the connection is watertight.
Inspect the inlet hose which is subjected to high pressure while the machine is in operation. The hose should be replaced if there are small cracks in the surface, or if it has been otherwise damaged.

If replacing the inlet hose only use a hose able to withstand pressure up to 70 bar. Miele's own hoses meet this requirement.

To clean the filter in the water inlet valve:
Using pliers, carefully loosen the ribbed plastic nut on the inlet valve,
and unscrew.
Use water pump pliers to withdraw the plastic filter by the bar.
Clean, put back and secure.
The two filters must be put back in place after cleaning.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Drain the cooling system.
3. Remove the drive belts. Remove the timing belt covers and the timing belt.
4. Remove the water pump mounting bolts.
5. Separate the water pump from the water inlet pipe and remove the water pump.
6. Inspect the water pump and replace as necessary.

To install:

1. Clean all gasket and O-ring surfaces on the water pump and water pipe inlet tube.
2. Wet a new O-ring with water and install it on the water inlet pipe.
3. Install a new gasket on the water pump.

1. Install the pump inlet opening over the water pipe and press until the pipe is completely inserted into the pump housing.
2. Install the water pump-to-block mounting bolts and tighten to 20 ft. lbs.
3. Install the timing belt and timing belt covers. Install and adjust the drive belts.
4. Reconnect the negative battery cable. Fill the cooling system to the proper level with a 50 / 50 mixture of clean, ethylene glycol antifreeze and water.
5. Run the engine and check for leaks. Top off the coolant level, if necessary.

Water inlet filters
On the tap part of your machine's water inlet
hose and at the ends of water inlet valves, there
are filters to prevent entrance of the dirt and
foreign materials in the water to the machine. If
the machine is unable to receive sufficient water
although your water tap is fully opened, these
filters should be cleaned.
x Remove the water inlet hose.
x Remove the filters found on the water inlet
valves by using a pincer and wash thoroughly
with a brush. (1)
x Clean the filters of the water inlet hoses
located on the tap side by removing manually
together with the seal. (2)
x After you clean the filters, you can fit them
the same way as you have removed them.

Pump filter
The pump filter system elongates the life of your
pump, which is used to drain the dirty water. It
prevents lint to enter the pump. Cleaning of your
pump filter in every 2-3 months is
recommended. To clean your pump filter:
x Open the kickplate's cover, by pulling the
handle. (2-A & 3-A)
x Before opening the filter cover,place a cup in
front of the filter cover to prevent flow of the
remaining water in the machine.
x Loosen the filter cover by rotating it counter
clockwise and drain the water. (4-A)
x Remove the foreign materials from the filter.
x Check for the rotation of the pump manually.
x After you have cleaned the pump, fit the filter
cover by rotating clockwise.
x Put the kickplate cover into place.
x Do not forget that if you do not fit in the filter
cover properly, it will leak water.

There is a strainer on the cold water inlet to the heater this could be blocked
Turn the cold water off at the heater, open a hot top to releve the pressure
Remove the strainer at the cold water inlet to the heater and clean

The inlet valve on the cold water inlet is clogged, dirty or jammed. You need to remove the inlet valve and clean the valve and filter. use back flushing with brushing to clean the filter.
the hum you hear is of the coil working but is not opening to allow water into the system.
Also you can switch the inlet valve from the hot line if needed .
check this link for removing the inlet valve:

It sounds like the water inlet valve is not functioning like it should. It is supposed to open to allow water to flow in when the Control Board gives the signal to open. First, try cleaning the Water Inlet Valve Filter. Turn the water supply off and remove the Water Supply Hoses. You will see the filter inside the Valve. Clean it out, and reconnect the hoses. Try washing again. If no water flows into the machine, you will need to replace the Inlet Valve/s. Try running an empty wash with just cold water, and then try running an empty wash with just hot water. If neither are working, you may have a control board fault. If only one side works, replace that sides water inlet valve.

The inlet valve must open to let the water into the drum, since there is no water flow you must check the inlet valve for voltage from the controller. If power is present then the valve is faulty, remove clean or replace.
However if there is no power the Program controller unit is fault.
