I just started a load and inadvertently left the detergent drawer open. I'm glad I noticed a few seconds afterwards because I would have had a flood on my hands. Water runs out of the detergent drawer if it is left open. I have another Miele laundry set (a W1215) and I know this doesn't occur. I use a friends LG when visiting and I know you can leave the drawer open too with water leaking out. Seems like an issue Miele really needs to address. Not sure if the issue was corrected in the newer version of this machine. Any W4842 owners know about this?
