What Check water drain
actually means.
A heat-pump tumbler condenses the moisture from the laundry into water and pumps it away through a drain hose. When that condensate cannot drain, the tumbler shows Check water drain.

What to do when Check water drain shows on the commercial applianceKind of codeWater, fill and drain
Water is not arriving, not reaching its level, not heating or not leaving on time. A dish machine may be short of fill because a supply valve is half closed or its line strainer is clogged, it may drain slowly through a scrap basket full of debris, or its booster may be too scaled to heat the rinse; a combi's steam generator may be scaled or its water treatment exhausted; a washer-extractor may time out on a slow drain. Opening the supply valve, cleaning strainers with the unit off and checking the drain line are fair; a pump, a fill valve, a heater or a leak near wiring is a visit.

Undercounter, door-type and conveyor dish machines: tank heaters, boosters, wash pumps, fill and drain valves.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Miele Professional's own guidance for Check water drain on its commercial appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check that the drain hose is in good working order and not bent.
Clear the message by opening and closing the door with the tumbler switched on, as Miele describes.
If the message returns with a straight, clear hose, book a visit so the condensate pump can be checked.
What not to do
Check water drain is about condensate water, not airflow, which has its own filter message. It does not mean the tumbler has stopped heating, although a stopped program leaves the laundry damp.
