Capsule liquid

At the end of the programme there is still liquid in the capsule — Blocked pipe or normal residue

Miele · W1 Washing Machines

What does Capsule liquid mean?

A small amount of liquid remains in the detergent capsule after the wash program finishes. This can be due to a blocked pipe in the dispenser or is sometimes normal.

Common Causes

  • The small pipe in the detergent dispenser drawer onto which the capsule is placed is blocked.
  • For technical reasons, a small amount of water may normally remain in the capsule.
