Hi @bpowell555 I had a Miele tech come in and replace the pump with a Miele part.

I replaced the pump motor. Fixed! I think that the impeller was slipping on the shaft. I didn't really verify this since I'd have to destroy the old motor to see if that was the problem... and I don't have time for that. I think that the hum that I heard was the motor running while the impeller...

@RichardMNZ, all of my breather tubes were clear, including the anti-siphon unit. I pulled all hoses off except for the one coming off of the base of the tub. No gunk other than a very thin film of slime in some spots. I'm tempted to think that it might be the pump motor that is starting to go...

Thanks for the insight @RichardMNZ I'll check this when I open the unit up. What really has me stumped is the "hummmmm" noise that the machine makes when the problem first shows itself. It will hum for a minute or so before the fault alarm sounds, and the unit stops the cycle. If I jar the...

Another observation is that the fault only happens on the final spin/drain. The washer drains at the start of the cycle, after the pre-wash, after the main wash, after the first rinse, then it crashes on the last rinse/spin cycle, unless I can catch it when it first happens and tilt/jar the...

So, I did a little more recon on the situation. When it faulted and stopped the cycle, I opened up the filter compartment to see if the pump impeller was jammed. It was not, so my theory of something jamming the pump impeller and preventing it from spinning is probably not correct. In addition...

With increasing frequency (but not every wash cycle), my Miele W4800 washer is producing a "Drain" fault/alarm and fails to complete the cycle, leaving me with a bunch of soaking wet clothes, and often a locked door. The machine is about 10 years old. I've cleaned the filter and verified that...
