Watertank leaking Hi! My watertank is leaking on my CVA610 model. DOes anyone know where I can get a replacement tank (that is not the Miele parts department)?

if you remove the crisper drawers you should be able to see a cover for your water tank. and it may only be a coil of tubing.. wait till you get the part before you start.

Hi
The magnet in the water tanks is either upside down or has sunk to the bottom of the tank. It should float to the top of the cage it is in and it should have a flat top not rounded. If its rounded side up the magnet is upside down. This is what would cause your problem.

Sounds like the sensor that detects system water levels has failed.

If you can see it inside try cleaning it or ask Miele for some advice via their website

Hi,

The only Miele spare parts are direct from Miele or through a Miele service agent. Have a look on the Miele website for your nearest Miele branch or service agent in your country.
I work for Miele and they only sell parts this way. if you call the Miele spare parts number off the website and tell them you have a cva615 they will be able to mail one to you.
Hope this helps.

There's a little magnetic float in the tank - it may be stuck or missing.

Check the end of the steam wand it might be blocked, if it is not, then remove the steam wand and check the top there is a small teflon insert (this part is in some models) remove insert and toss. If that does not solve problem then machine needs to be descaled.

Same problem here. I have found that rocking the watertank back and forth - just enough to lift the front edge of the tank about 1/16", then the back edge 1/16" - will usually fix the problem within 10 to 30 'rockings' when the tank is full. Yes, this often results in spillage under the tank's cover and onto the counter. And, yes, this happens neraly every time i make espresso. What a royal pain in the ****.

I don't know if the problem is in the tank or in the machine. I'm still investigating, etc.

Open the hot water valve, and run about a cup of water, this will engage the pump and fill the circuit.

there is a liltle floating black thing at the back of the container, this works as a magnet switch. see if it is there or is stuck and doesnt raise with the water level.

The black thing floating in the water tank is a plastic shell with a magnet inside. If you clean it...make sure you reinstall it with the tapered (smaller) side down. There is a slight size difference BUT it will make ALL the difference in the world.

I had no idea there was a magnet in that black/greyish case. The direction of the casing is important.
I had the same problem and that solved it!
