Original anti-vibration foot for Miele washing machine and dryer Miele 304595

The original Miele 304595 foot is an original spare part designed to balance and prevent vibrations in washing machines and tumble dryers. The foot has an M10 thread and a length of 34 mm, ensuring complete stability on uneven ground. The original part meets Miele manufacturing standards and is approved for use in both Miele washing machines and tumble dryers.

Is your machine noisy? Does your dryer “walk” on the floor while spinning? A worn or broken foot is the number one cause of abnormal vibrations in Miele washing machines and dryers. The original foot 304595 solves the problem at the root – with a simple home installation that takes less than 10 minutes.

Just before ordering – it is mandatory to verify compatibility with your device model. Click the “Check Model Compatibility” button at the top of the page.

Why is the machine noisy and vibrating?

Strong vibrations during wringing usually indicate a foot that has lost flexibility or that the screw thread is worn out. When the foot does not grip the ground well, the device loses its grip point and any movement of the drum translates into movement of the entire device body. The original foot 304595 is equipped with a high-quality rubber base that absorbs vibrations and a precise M10 thread that allows for precise height adjustment.

Signs that the hose requires replacement:

• ✅ The machine “walks” – moves away from its position during the spin cycle.
• ✅ Vibrations and unusual noise in the squeezing program
• ✅ The device is unstable – wobbles when touched
• ✅ The foot is broken, cracked, or the thread is worn out

Is the 304595 foot also suitable for my tumble dryer?

Yes. The original 304595 foot is approved by Miele for use in both washing machines and tumble dryers. The official Australian Miele website categorizes the 304595 part number directly under “Tumble Dryer Spare Parts”. This is one part that serves both types of appliance – especially convenient for those who keep both side by side.

From the experience of our technicians, about 40% of customers who replace a foot on their washing machine discover that the corresponding foot on the dryer next to them is also worn out – and they replace both at the same time. It's smart to check both.

🔧 How do you replace an anti-vibration foot on a washing machine or dryer?

Replacing the foot is a simple DIY operation that takes 5-10 minutes. No special tools are required – a wrench is enough. Before starting – unplug the device.

1. Tilt the device slightly. To one side to access the footrest
2. Loosen the lock nut. Which is adjacent to the body of the device – turn left
3. Remove the old footrest. Turning left
4. Screw on the new foot 304595 Turn right until firm contact with the floor
5. Adjust the height Until the device stands straight and stable
6. Tighten the lock nut. Back against the body of the device – must be tightened!
7. Check stability – Gently push the device with your foot. It should stand still.

⚠️ Important: In our experience, the most common reason for repeated vibrations after replacement is that the locking nut was not tightened all the way. Make sure it is firmly pressed against the body of the device.

💡 Tip from the experts

When it comes to adjusting the feet, an experienced technician always places a level on top of the closed appliance – not just checking “by eye”. A washing machine that is tilted 2-3 mm to one side will not look crooked to the naked eye, but the drum will hit the wall during every spin cycle. In the experience of our technicians, about 30% of machines that come in for service with “severe vibrations” turn out to be machines that simply weren’t balanced properly – and don’t need any additional parts. Spend a minute with a level before closing.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can a broken leg damage the washing machine itself?

Yes. A worn foot that doesn’t hold the appliance straight causes the drum to hit the inner wall during spinning. Over time, this wears out the shock absorbers, bearings, and suspension springs – parts that are much more expensive than a foot. Replacing a worn foot early saves expensive repairs.

How many feet are there in a Miele washing machine?

Miele washer and dryers are equipped with four feet – two adjustable front feet and two rear feet. In most models, the front feet are the ones that wear out the most. It is recommended to replace all four at the same time for perfect balance.

Is the Miele 304595 pedestal also suitable for a dryer that stands next to the washing machine?

Yes. Miele classifies the part number 304595 as both a washing machine and a tumble dryer spare part. It is the exact same part – M10 thread and 34 mm long – that is used for both types of appliances. Check compatibility for your specific model via the compatibility check button.
