Product review (1 stars): Rubber gasket leaks
We were sold on the quality of the Miele after the bearings burned out on our GE front loading machine. The bearings are fine on the Miele after 5 years but the rubber gasket from door to drum has a big wear hole which causes lots of water to leak. My floor has expanded from the water and the tiles are coming off. The underside is always wet and now there's mold growing. The replacement part is about $200 and that's with me doing the labor. Not exactly what I bargained for. Online reviews confirm this is a common ailment.
