Our Miele went on the blink this last week-end. It's just out of warranty (fume!).
Before I get a man in, and make a huge dent in the bank balance I need to check some of the valves. That means getting to the underneath, which in turn makes me ask...
... is there a standard way to drain the things, so that you don't get water everywhere?
In case anyone's interested, it has an electrically-operated double check valve at the water supply end of the inlet hose - a really wasteful idea. I'm betting this has failed - only 160.00 (plus VAT and carriage) for the part, when an ordinary hose was perfectly adequate before.
Gotta love EU regulations*...

*water byelaws, but introduced because of directive. Utter nonsense.
