The display shows Waterproof, or water under the machine
a Waterproof message with a complete stop, or visible water under the washer. That's Miele's famous leak-protection system (WPS) — a base sensor detected water where it shouldn't be and shut everything down to protect your home.
close the tap, unplug, dry what's visible — and stop there. Don't tilt the machine to 'empty the sensor': the leak itself is still there, and its source (hose, gasket, pump connection) must be found and fixed before any restart. This gets priority scheduling — call and say 'Waterproof'.
