Original drain pump door for Miele washing machine Miele 10852862

The original access cover 10852862 protects the drain pump opening on the bottom front of the Miele W1 washing machine. The door allows easy access to the drain filter for routine cleaning and removal of foreign objects. The part fits Miele W1 series washing machines and is supplied as a genuine OEM part, part number 10852862.

A small puddle under the machine? It's usually not a pump fault – but a drain door that doesn't close properly. Its clip mechanism tends to break after years of opening and closing, and water starts to leak from the bottom left corner.

To verify compatibility – W1 machines come in different configurations by serial number. Click the 'Check Model Compatibility' button at the top of the page and confirm that the part fits your model by the E-Nr on the model sticker.

Why is the drain door broken?

The small door is opened every 1-3 months to clean the filter. After years of use, the clip mechanism gets tired and stops locking properly. The result: the door doesn't close all the way, and sometimes a little water ends up on the floor. It's not dramatic, but it's worth replacing.

Why original? The original Miele door has the locking mechanism exactly as designed. Unapproved replacements often do not fit precisely and do not seal properly. All original Miele spare parts are available in our store.

💡 Tip from the experts

💡 Tip from Daniel, our Miele expert: A common mistake – opening the filter without placing a container underneath. Even after the wash is finished, half a liter of water remains inside the pump body. It is always a good idea to place a flat container before opening. And after cleaning – close the door until you hear a clear click.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Should I replace just the knob or the entire door?

Miele sells the door as a complete assembly – including the locking mechanism. Attempting to fix just the knob with glue or a homemade brace is short-lived and often causes additional leaks. Replacing the door as an original assembly is the safest and final solution, and the replacement itself takes less than 5 minutes.

What does fault code F138 mean and what does it have to do with the drain door?

Code F138 indicates water detected in the base of the appliance. One common cause is a small leak from the filter door that has not closed properly – and not necessarily an internal fault. If you have replaced the door and wiped the base thoroughly, run a short program to check. If the code continues to appear, it is worth contacting a technician.

How often is it recommended to open the drain opening for cleaning?

Miele recommends cleaning the drain filter once a month to two months, depending on the frequency of use. If you wash laundry with pet hair – once a month. With normal use – once every two to three months is sufficient. Regular cleaning prevents blockages and extends the life of the pump.
