Description
Original foldable rubber drain hose for Miele washing machine Miele 5913440
The original Miele 5913440 foldable drain hose rubber is the critical rubber “bridge” part that connects the machine’s drum (Sump) and the drain pump. The part includes 2 openings with a diameter of 90 mm and 40 mm, 4 flexible folds to absorb vibration, and is resistant to heat, limescale and detergents. Suitable for Miele W1xxx, W2xxx and W5xxx series washing machines. The original part ensures a precise fit and a hermetic seal without leaks.
The machine won't drain? Is there standing water in the drum at the end of the wash? The rubber that folds between the drum and the pump is one of the first components to check for a drain problem. When the rubber cracks, permanently wrinkles, or splits, the pump can't pump water efficiently, and clothes are left soaked in water at the end of the wash.
A moment before ordering – safety above all! To ensure a successful repair and maintain the longevity of the device, it is mandatory to use only original parts. Non-original parts may cause additional damage and void the warranty.

Why is my Miele machine not draining water?
A Miele drain failure is usually caused by three sources: a clogged filter, a faulty drain pump, or a damaged collapsible rubber. The rubber 5913440 is the component that transfers water from the drum to the pump – once it cracks or opens at a connection point, the pump receives air instead of water, and simply stops draining.
The classic symptom: a machine that has finished a wash program, but the water has not drained. Sometimes you will hear the pump “working” – but because of the crack in the rubber, it is pumping air and not water. In the experience of our technicians, in about 40% of service calls for a drainage fault in a Miele – this collapsible rubber is the culprit.
Why only an original part? Replacement rubber is sold with a diameter that is 1-2 mm different. A small difference that creates exactly the same problem – air enters the connection, and the pump does not drain. The original rubber 5913440 includes precise dimensions of 90 mm and 40 mm, 4 folds to absorb vibration, and a rubber thickness selected to withstand washing temperatures up to 95°.
How do you find the model sticker on a Miele? The sticker (E-Nr) is located on the inside of the door – left hinge. For W1xxx models, it also sometimes appears on the body of the appliance on the upper left side.

🔧 How do you replace the rubber of a foldable drain hose on a Miele?
⚠️ It is recommended to call a qualified technician. Replacing the folding rubber requires dismantling the front panel of the machine and accessing internal components. Improper installation may cause water leakage inside the machine and damage to expensive components. If you still choose to replace it yourself – here are the steps:
Working time: approximately 45-60 minutes. Required tools: Phillips screwdriver, flat screwdriver, pocket knife, bucket for pumping out residual water.
⚠️ First of all: Disconnect the machine from the power completely. Turn off the water tap. Place towels on the floor - a few liters of water will come out of the drum.
Replacement steps:
- Open the bottom filter cover and clean any remaining water through the small tube.
- Remove the front panel – usually 2-4 bottom screws and pressing on the side tabs
- Locate the black foldable rubber at the bottom of the tank – it connects the large opening of the drum to the pump.
- Loosen the metal clamps on both ends of the rubber – using a flat screwdriver.
- Remove the old rubber and pay attention to the installation direction.
- Insert the new rubber 5913440 and verify that it is seated evenly.
- Tighten the metal clamps back on – not so tightly that you damage the rubber.
- Assemble the front panel, connect to electricity and water, and run a short test program
⚠️ Warning: If you are unsure at any point – stop and contact a technician. Incorrect installation may cause water leakage inside the machine and damage to other components.
💡 Tip from the experts
From the experience of our technicians – before replacing the rubber, first check the filter. In 30% of the cases where we encounter a drain problem, the rubber is perfectly fine, but the filter is so clogged that the pump is unable to pump. Cleaning a filter takes 5 minutes and costs zero shekels. Only after you have made sure that the filter is clean and the drain pump is working (can you hear it?) – check the rubber for leaks or cracks by lifting the machine and looking from below with a flashlight.
Another tip that most people don't know: This rubber is prone to damage from small objects – coins, small clothespins – that fall to the bottom of the drum and get inside the folding rubber. Before replacing, put your hand in the old rubber and check that there is no foreign object there that will block the new rubber as well.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between collapsible rubber and a regular drain hose?
The 5913440 folding rubber is the inner tube that connects the machine drum (tub) to the drain pump. It is not the outer drain tube that exits the machine to the wall. The folding rubber sits inside the machine body, not visible from the outside, and its function is to allow the drum to move and vibrate during spinning without damaging the tube. Its 4 folds absorb the movement.
Is the 5913440 rubber also suitable for the W3xxx and W4xxx series?
According to the information we have, the 5913440 rubber is mainly suitable for the W1xxx, W2xxx and W5xxx series. The W3xxx and W4xxx models used previous versions of the rubber (such as 4911251, 5913420). To make sure – enter the exact E-Nr of your device in the compatibility check. Do not rely only on the series name.
How long does the original Miele rubber last?
A genuine Miele rubber, type 5913440, when installed correctly and with a clean filter, will typically last 8-15 years. Non-genuine replacement rubber tends to wrinkle and harden more quickly due to the lower thickness of the rubber. The most common cause of shortened rubber life is foreign objects entering from the drum and creating pressure at one point.
