Genuine Miele manufactured hose (3182800). This hose connects between the soap dispenser outlet to the tub. They harden with age and tend to split or they pull away from the soap dispenser when the machine is beginning to spin. They are now obsolete from Miele, so grab this genuine hose and keep that trusty old Miele washing machine alive and functional. PLEASE CHECK FIRST THAT THIS HOSE IS COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR MODEL BEFORE BUYING.
