Description

Original large flexible water inlet hose for Miele washing machine Miele 5706041

The original Miele 5706041 flexible water inlet hose is the internal hose that carries water from the inlet tap to the drum of the W and WDA series. The hose is made of black rubber with 16 accordion ribs that allow for flexible movement, 205 mm long. Over time, the rubber hardens, cracks, or the end seal wears out - which causes internal leakage that accumulates at the bottom of the appliance. Only an original part ensures perfect tightness and resistance to high temperatures of hot wash cycles.

Did you find water at the bottom of the appliance? Does the machine display a “Water inlet fault” message? Internal leaks from most inlet hoses start with a small crack that grows with each wash cycle. Waiting prolongs the damage and may cause moisture in the electrical cabinet. Before ordering, make sure your model is on the list:

⚠️ Just before ordering: This product is an internal tube inside the device – not the tube connecting to the wall faucet. It is an internal component that requires partial disassembly of the device. Click the 'Check Model Compatibility' button at the top of the page for immediate confirmation.

What causes the inlet pipe to become damaged and what are the signs?

The inner rubber hose goes through hundreds of fill cycles a year with alternating hot and cold water. The thermal jump causes the rubber to harden and lose elasticity over the years. Common signs: water at the bottom of the appliance after a wash cycle, a “Water inlet fault” message that repeats even after cleaning the tap, an electrical noise at the bottom of the appliance indicating the presence of water, or a fill cycle that takes longer than usual due to low pressure in a damaged hose.

Why a genuine Miele part and not a replacement? The original hose is made of rubber with a temperature rating approved for up to 90 degrees. A cheap replacement hose may harden faster due to inferior rubber, leak at the connections, and lead to water damage that will again require a technician. In our experience, the cost of water damage from not being treated in time is many times greater than the investment in a genuine part.

🔧 How do you replace an internal water inlet pipe?

The replacement requires opening the top or rear panel of the device, disconnecting the hose connections at both ends, and replacing it with the new hose, making sure the connections are tight. It is mandatory to disconnect the device from the power supply and turn off the water tap before any work.

⚠️ Important: Replacing internal pipes requires familiarity with the structure of the device. It is recommended to call a qualified technician. A leaky connection may cause serious water damage that will destroy the device and damage the floor.

After replacement: Run a short cycle and stand by the appliance throughout the filling process. Check that there are no drips at the new hose connections before leaving the room.

💡 Tip from the experts

Check before you replace: In our experience, about 20% of the times when a customer orders an inlet hose – the actual problem is a loose connection and not the hose itself. Before ordering the hose, ask the technician to first check that all hose ends are securely connected and that there is no scale in the inlet tap – a 5-minute check that may save you from having to order an unnecessary one.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 5706041 hose and other Miele inlet hoses?

5706041 is the large flexible inner hose – 205mm with 16 ribs, which connects the inlet valve to the drum. Miele also makes external inlet hoses (which connect the appliance to the wall tap) which are completely different. Make sure the hose you are looking for is indeed the internal hose before ordering.

Is the washing machine dangerous to use when the hose is damaged?

Yes. A leaking internal pipe drains water to the bottom of the appliance where electrical parts are located. Miele equips many appliances with an AquaStop system that will stop the appliance when it detects water – but this does not always work with slow leaks. It is recommended to stop use until it is repaired.

The pipe looks fine from the outside – could it still be leaking?

Yes. Cracks in rubber often start from the inside out and are not visible on external visual inspection. If there is water at the bottom of the appliance and no other obvious source is found – the flexible hose is one of the first components to check.
