The red lights check outlet/drain are flashing on my miele w526 washing machine, how do i fix it

Paul solution works well also in a Miele W2104

En mi lavadora Miele W2104 tambien se encencian las dos luces de "Comprobar la entrada de agua" y "Comprobar desague". Eso pasó después de que limpie el filtro de desague. Segun el manual = llame al servicio tecnico = 100 euros.
Con la solución de Pablo, inclinar la lavadora hacia mi, la bandeja de seguridad se vacia y la lavadora vuelve a fundionar sin llamar a nadie. Graciassss Pablo.

all that was needed to reset this problem was to carefully lean the entire unit towards me. use plenty of towels to soak up approximately 0.5 litre of water.

Problem fixed

i think i have the same problem.
the " check inlet & check drain" lights are both flashing.

a possible cause from the manual suggests "the water protection systems has been activated"

the remedy" once again from the manual is "Call the service department"

however at £90 just for a call out makes me want to explore other answers 1st.

The Miele Water Protection system has 3 main
componants;

1. the inlet hose
2. the electronic unit and the washing machine housing.
3. the drain hose.

any ideas would be gratefully received.

check and clean filter, check pump operation for seized impeller or blockage,may require new pump
